Solved Aircraft get on the runway without being cleared
-
It seems that aircraft get on the runway without being cleared while other aircraft are (pretty late) on final.
It’s not really common, but it has happened 3 times so far. Once on Balkans, once on MidEast 128 and once on Israel.
Either the ATC (wrongly) clears them and I’ve missed it or they just strut onto the runway by themselves.
It seems to happen just as (or slightly before) you reach the pre-threshold lights and the ATC will tell you to abort due to the runway being unsafe (a bit too late sometimes ). So maybe there’s some trigger point that the aircraft landed already getting triggered too early?
All three times were really “slow” and straight in from quite far landing attemps from my part.

@Mav-jp Ah, hadn’t thought of that tbh. On Balkans it was actually a single runway airport, but on MidEast and Israel it was on a double runway airport.
I’ll try to record next time it happens.
On a dual runway airport there is no conflict between the take off runway and landing runway so I don’t understand the point
many airbases are not properly set up though

When Aircraft have waited too much time on the threshold . There is a point where ATC clears them anyway and the code handles the abort for approaching aircraft (for AI , players need to abort themselves)
This behavior is mandatory else the airbase could be totally stucked after a while if landing always have prio over take off on single runway airbases
