What ATC are you using, Jordan? Do you have to descend to capture the
glideslope? MSATC is the most simple but it also has serious problems
in high traffic. PF3 handles the coms for me, so I'm going to try
flight five now and see if I have better luck landing. I'll ignore all
airspeed requests, attempt to be at the right altitude for
approach--since PF3 or Radar Contact doesn't actually end your descent
there like MSATC does, which is about the only plus I can think of for
MSATC. Everything else about it sucks, like not being able to
acknowledge instructions while traffic is radioing in. Every other ATC
addon eliminates that.

I had a similar issue flying into KSAN last night. Going to try againBlind and Visually impaired Pilots mailinglist
tonight but try a higher approach altitude. It appears that I hit terrain
as I was descending through 1800ft. My approach altitude was 2000ft.

Subject: [bvipilots] Obsticle at CYOW?
Hi all,
Unfortunately I missed the Glideslope on this video--not sure if I did the
approach checklist too late, but I do the approach checklist after they
clear me for the runway and to contact tower when established, etc. Most
times, when I do the approach checklist when IYP tells me to, PF3 will
continue to nag at me to stay at my current altitude as IYP starts landing,
or Mike locks onto the localizer, making me unable to follow the rest of ATC
vector instructions.
If anyone knows of a way to make PF3 instructions consistent with the way
IYP does things, it would be greatly appreciated. I know there's a ton of
options in PF3, I'm just not sure what to set. It would be nice if PF3 would
tell me to descend to a suitable altitude for capturing the glideslope, and
I don't know if the option is available already.
Also, I did eventually land visual, or tried to, at least, on the runway 32,
but I crashed into... something. I tried looking on airnav at CYOW to see if
it'd tell me any navigational obsticles, but I couldn't find any.
Well, live and learn, I guess. Here's the video. It was a success in
Worldwide Virtual's Acars system, so I won't have to log the flight again.
