Position Module

With this module you can move your aircraft on an approach, to a runway takeoff point, on a helipad or any other custom location.

Airport Selection

There are two options to select an airport.

Directly by ICAO Code

Just enter the ICAO code of the airport in the corresponding field and the airport will load immediately.

Alternatively you can also use the button Random to choose a random airport.

Search by Country and City

If you don't know the ICAO code of the airport, you can also select an airport based on the country and the next big city the airport belongs to: Just first select the country, then the city and finally pick an airport from the list.

Runways or Helipads

Now you can choose on which runway or helipad you want your aircraft to be place.

After selecting a runway some additional information about this runway is displayed. For helipads this information is not displayed before you choose a specific helipad in the next step.

Approach Training

To start an approach training just click on one of the button to place your aircraft it the corresponding position.

If the runway is ILS enabled the correct altitude above ground will be calculated using the runway-specific glideslope degree. Otherwise the default of 3° will be used.

All parameters like distance to landing point for the two final positions, distance for the base positions or altitude above ground for the downwind positions can be configured in the Settings module.

Airworks

Choose one of four pre-defined flight levels to start your airworks.

Of course, also these altitudes can be easily changed in the Settings module.

Custom Location

If you want your aircraft to be place at a completely custom location, this is the right section for you.

First enter the desired altitude (above MSL) and heading of the aircraft. Then you can choose from two options to define the position.

From Runway Landing Point

Using this option the aircraft will be move a definable distance away from the runway landing point with in the entered direction.

At Coordinate

Or you can just enter the exact geographic coordinates manually where you want the aircraft to be place.

The fields are pre-filled with the coordinates of the currently loaded airport.
