I've been doing it when PF3 clears me to land on ILS, which thanks to
the latest two updates, it has been doing a better job of.
I've just started flying with a new VA, so I'll be uploading another
flight in a few minutes.

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.
