I usually get the announcement while in the offline mode after I have landed
when flying a commercial aircraft, and usually the altitude callouts start or
should start at the last notch of flaps before full flaps. When are you
starting the approach checklist? I am doing it at the latest at 18 miles and
lately been doing it more like 25 miles out since RC4 has been having me fly
the approach sooner than usual. What differences does the advanced mode do?

Subject: [bvipilots] Some observations about IYP
Hi everyone,
So Mike, who's also on this list, made an MP3 file showcasing IYP and how we
sim, basically.
There's a few things that my IYP doesn't do that his does. For one, I've just
activated advanced mode, should've done that a while ago and got that taken
care of.
Second, is the "Avionics set for departure?" a dummy checklist item?
The reason I ask is because when Mike says, in his recording, "Set avionics for
departure", it works and IYP replied back with Roger. I get nothing out of mine
and just confirm it. Why is that? I went through the speech training program
about three times in the history I've been using IYP.
Another thing... once he completed his descent checklist, IYP had said we hope
you enjoyed your flight with us today, let's secure the aircraft for landing.
Mine doesn't do that. Is this because he was in the online mode?
Finally, upon approach list execution, IYP started descending to intersect the
glideslope. That's normal, but mine doesn't read the altitudes as the aircraft
descends at this point. Mine right now only starts calling out altitudes once
the Glideslope has been captured.
PF3, meanwhile, told him to descend to 3000 for final, and when he did the
approach checklist, IYP started with 2,900, 2,800, etc.
Any help with this would be appreciated, especially with the approach list
descent altitudes before the glideslope capture.
Thanks.
P.S. Who is this Garry person? I've never scene him on list until this
autoresponder.
