On a trip from EIDW to EGFF I was switched to the approach frequency for EGFF and I tuned the radio, PF Display showed the approach selections. I wanted to fly an iap so I selected the '2' hotkey for 'request an instrument approach' but I was presented with the ACARS for EGFF, which is the behaviour for '2' on clearance, ground, departure and centre.

Maybe PF3 was confused because of the traffic advisory from center after the hand-off shortly before you tuned to Approach?
Dave has to look at this.

Good morning!

Had the same thing occur last night flying into CYMM. Thought I'd throw in my log to see if it would help figure this one out.

Couple of other issues that I think are already being looked into:
- ATC descended me too early. Ended up at 3000ft still 80nm back from CYMM
- Communication Log stopped after first 9 entries.
Logs attached!
Thanks guys,
Dave
