I'm struggling to get more than one touch and go with the flightplan listed,no matter what times i seem to state.Ideally i would like the Tucano to do 3 circuits at Church Fenton,then return to Linton for 3 circuits,then land.Please help as i've been trying to conquer this ALL day...many thanks in advance.AC#600,ZF200,80%,24Hr,VFR,08:58:20,TNG1/09:53:58,010,R,0000,EGXG,10:00:13,TNG1/11:55:51,010,R,0000,EGXU

First off, you are specifying 24HR times but using the "1/" which is used for weekly flightplans; try taking those out first and see what happens.

Just tried what you suggested....the aircraft calls touch and go...but as it gets nearer it calls again "To Land" then lands and taxys in.Any other ideas please?

First thing two tng legs without a landing may not work
second you should have 4 mins between TNG1/09:53:58,010,R,0000,EGXG,10:00:13
ieTNG1/09:53:58,010,R,0000,EGXG,09:57:58
Plus add another leg after egxu same principal 4 mins gap but NO tng
oh and dump the 1/
Try that

try dropping the tng at linton first
It may be the model though
try a IFR plan and see what it does
Repost your FP that you are using now so I can have a look

First, try this:
Code: Select all
AC#600,ZF200,80%,24Hr,VFR,08:58:20,TNG09:53:58,020,R,0000,EGXG,09:57:58,,010,R,0000,EGXU
As Gary said two consecutive TNG legs will give problems. This flightplan should work fine for VFR flights. TTools will calculate the arrival time back at EGXU and fill it in so you can leave it open.
Now when do you start following the aircraft? The aircraft will leave EGXU at 08:58:20
UTC, fly to EGXG, do touch and goes until 09:53:58
UTC and at that time start flying back to EGXU. If you start looking at EGXG around the time the aircraft is due to go home you will of course only see one touch and go... Or maybe 09:53:28 is too sharp for multiple approaches?

Hi Tirithon...i start looking at EGXG at 9:50am at which point it is 6 miles away calling touch and go.I applied your ammended flightplan into tt tools,compiled it and started the sim.It did the same as above...and after ONE touch and go,cancelled landing intension and departed back to EGXU

This is proving a nightmare..as stated before i would like 3 touch and gos at EGXG and 3 at EGXU then land EGXU.Many thank's for your help.

OK to increase the number of TNGs at the first base is quite simple. Increase the time that it arrives at EGXG. The plane will continue to do TNGs until that time is reached and then depart for the next leg. remember to increase the time of its departure from EGXG and the arrival at EGXU accordingly.

Well there's your problem: how can you expect to see three touch and goes at 09:50 if you flightplan the aircraft to stop flying touch and goes at 09:53 already?
Start looking earlier or, if the aircraft isn't there yet because it's still on its way to EGXG, adjust the time as Steve instructed.
