Problem with that is then you are in noway going to be able to lock onto the
localizer and glideslope in time. Has not once happened if I wait that long at
the proper time. How do you solve that issue?

The best time to do the approach checklist is when PF3 clears you to land on
the runway and to contact the tower when established.
Sometimes, doing the approach checklist before this time will cause IYP to
start the descent/landing process early and then PF3 will nag you to maintain
your approach altitude.

The problem you are having is that you are not saying Resume GPS
Navigation when PF3 tells you to do so. IYP takes care of the
approach speed and landing speed. So, you have to do nothing.
Handcuff your hands behind the chair and let IYP take care of it.

I always do the approach twenty miles out.
Hey Jordan.
I think the question I’m going to ask you is as follows:
What do you have your default take off and landing set at for the DF7X.
I never played with these settings, and I’m wondering if that is why
I’m constantly going off course and having to tap the number seven key
all of the time.
Thanks for the shout back.
I’m going to try this same flight once again tomorrow, then I’ll be
away from Friday sometime until Sunday sometime.

No problems with it here. Everything works as it should although
getting the exact point at which to do the approach checklist can be
tricky since the vectors can get you way too close to the airport.

Hello to all.
PF3 ATC gave me clearance to land, So I touched down.
I heard the normal announcement from the ai captain the the passengers
about customs and what not.
Then IYP told me that I was flying away from the airport, first two
miles out then seven miles out.
So I ended up closing down the flight.
I got to PF3 to shut it down and I got the message that PF3 ATC isn’t
responding, would you like to wait or close out the program.
Go figure.
But thank god for the seven feature.
Like in the good old days of MSATC, I wished that PF3 ATC would give
us more vectors.
Because how else are we suppose to know that we’re flying on course or not?
So when you hear that you’re off of the air way and your copilot
answers for you, tap the seven key on the number roll and turn to the
new heading that is given to you.
Ron who’s still saying that the jury is out for pf3 ATC.
