Hi Tony,
please give me till 17:00 UTC before downloading and trying again. I want
to put some more debugging stuff up there.
REGARDING: ILS
Looking back at the log, Michelle said:
Michelle said, ’The localizer’s alive’ 6:57:46 AM
Michelle said, ’The glide slope’s alive’ 6:58:03 AM
So, she should have no trouble capturing the Localizer or the glideslope.
REGARDING: Local Traffic
Mea culpa. Upon closer review, I see the switch to the advisory and the
"Announce Position" statement you made. Sorry.
REGARDING: Clear of the runway
After leaving the runway, you should be able to say...
"Clear of the runway"
r :)
