If you are going VFR , why not just look at a Chart on Skyvector, find your heading which is 086 degrees, take off and fly until you see the airport. It's only 27 miles. |

| I'd say: NATTS V290 BOOME V469 EXRAS Then fly the ILS25 approach via AHLER, but don't include that in your flight plan, PF3 will vector you to the ILS. You might want to set the FAF altitude for KHSP to 6000 feet and the global FAF distance to 9 miles. Don't activate SIDs or STARs. |

| Or take a shortcut by using NATTS V290 BOOME V469 IFAVU, or flying directly from KLWB to EXRAS, but I like to follow airways and transitions |

| I thought you needed around 20-25 miles from last waypoint to destination airport? |

Only if you want to avoid strange vectoring, it even works if your last waypoint is 1 NM from the destination, but then PF3 will make you circle a bit. Distance between EXRAS and KHSP is 19.1 NM, and you are already on the correct course for ILS runway 25, so everything will be fine here |

| Thanks Thomas for setting up the flight. Right before taking the ILS PF3 Let her fly at on discretion. I learned waypoints can be close for ils and to check the charts for attitude to set in pf3. Thanks for your help. P.S. But if I want to be vector its best to have last waypoint 25 miles out. And no weather changes while in approach. |
