Robert,
I’ll try that next time, thanks.
Best,
Zack.

Try using the phrase, "Prepare to land on runway three three".
You should also be using the phrase, "Expect vectors to runway three three"
after you leave your GPS route and begin the descent.

Hi Robert and All,
So I’m flying into Me75, Lisbon Falls, Maine. I’m told to expect vectors for
visual approach runway 33. I tell Mike the same, and receive confirmation.
“What runways exist?” confirms that this runway does, in fact, exist.
On approach, I try to ask Mike to “prepare to perform visual approach on
runway 33,” but am repeatedly told that that runway doesn’t exist at ME75.
“What runways exist?” tells me that it does, and obviously ATC believes it
too.
I believe I have run into this issue before, but never quite so persistently.
Is there any chance you could look into what happened here, Robert? I
eventually had to use an alternate autopilot program to land.
Thanks much,
