Hey robert.
When you’re working on fixing the problem.
If we’re not suppose to attempt to get the atis info until after we’ve recevied
all of our landing info from the tower, Could you move the atis command when
we’re landing?
Currently Just after we start our descent, Michelle with tell us to switch to
ATIS to get the local weather.
You once told me that in the real world this isn’t performed until after we’ve
recived all of our landing info from the local tower.
Now here’s something else to think about.
If the tower gives us our landing invo, via ILS or VFR, then why would we need
to switch to ATIS to get the local weather info?
Becaue the tower just gave us our instructions and gives us the altimeter info
at any time it changes while descending to the ground for landing.
Just a thought.
But a couple of times I’ve gotten the message there’s no local weather info.
this is a nice feature.
HTH.

Hi,
I have 2 main questions:
QUESTION 1:
I have tried to stress in about 10 different ways, that one conducts the
approach checklist as you're approaching the runway about 2,000 feet AGL. So
why are you executing the approach checklist at 17,000 feet? Where in the
documentation does it state that you should conduct the approach checklist
before the descent checklist has even completed, because I need to fix that
error as soon as possible? Thanks for your help in this regards.
QUESTION 2:
Why are you contacting local traffic a Chicago Midway, when there's a Tower?
I'm reading the documentation entitled:
Performing a Visual Approach at a Towered Airport
and it clearly states you are to contact the Tower. Please explain... I'm
confused. Again, if the documentation is in error, please let me know ASAP.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
Robert

Please check out from the start of the descent to the ground.
Like I stated in my last letter.
I did everything Michelle and the ATC wanted me to do.
But for some reason this time around I could not use the Recognize Landing
approach, the contact tower command, nor the recognize landing approach.
When on the ground I did hear Michelle with her normal statement about
exiting the runway shortly.
I did not hear we have eited the runway nor did the tower give me a frequency
to switch over to be able to contact the ground so that I could taxi to the
gate.
Any and all advice will be extreamly greatful.
Many thanks in advance.
