Okay I am hoping that someone can help.
I have been flying the same route a few times now, its EGKK to EGFF. I am using this route so I can get used to using PF3 and MCE, its a short flight which is great practice.
Anyway Take off, cruise and decent is fine. Its the final part approach to tower transition. Let me tell you whats happening and perhaps someone can tell me where I am going wrong!
I am issued vectors and decent which is fine, I am vectored in by approach and as I am turned for the ILS feather. As I approach the ILS I am cleared by approach to land for runway 12 and to contact tower when established. I confirm with approach that I am cleared to land via runway 12 and then switch to tower frequency
Then I check in and I get no reply from tower, I have tried going around and trying again, even on the second approach I get no reply.
Now I am guessing that I am doing something wrong, when I have flown before I am given vectors for approach and then handed off to tower for landing clearance. But I am confused now as it might appear that Approach is giving me landing clearance and not tower. But after landing and taxing clear of the runway I ask tower for taxi to gate and low and behold tower gives me taxi instructions.
So can some one tell me where I am going wrong here? I can supply logs if needed.
