RCv4 Whacky Controllers - Joeflyer - 20-07-2006
Since my SIDS/STARS and scenery databases are up to date, I was quite miffed at the RC controller who instructed me to maintain 8,000
feet until established on the LOC for RWY15 at SPIM(Peru). I should have been at a maximum of 2,000 feet by that point! Of course I
should have just ignored the cuss and descended when I knew I should have done so. At any rate, I got established on the LOC and way
too high, so I declared a missed approach. What a mistake. I got vectored almost 40 nm before getting vectored again to the IAF. Then
the whacky controller gave me the same instruction...maintain 8,000 until established. This time I said, "screw you!" and descended to
the approach altitude. I didn't let my LD767 fly all of that way to just keep doing missed approaches
I got yelled at by the controller, but at least I got the PAXs to their destination, and I provided the RC controller with the one-finger salute

Why didn't you request a visual approach the second time around. Then you wouldn't have got stung for the altitude bust...... Plus you can
still use ILS to hook up, or you could've requested full IAP approach, again they would have left you alone after that.

The second time around I flew the sequence to the LOC myself...without RC4's help
Isn't situational awareness a lovely thing to possess?
