Repositioning the Aircraft
The Reposition page supports repositioning by City or by Airport. The aircraft can also be repositioned using the Map page.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: When the aircraft is repositioned the trainer will automatically transition to a Freeze state.

Is there a way to save the initial startup at a different airport other than KCMI? The options in Prepar3d do not seem to be working to allow us to have the sim boot up at KLYH everytime it starts.
Thanks,

There is a way to setup which airport the RTD starts up at, however the article for this has not been created yet. I will comment once this is completed.
Here is the article for setting the initial position of the aircraft on the RTD. /rtd_initial_position/
Can an option be added to allow for us to reposition onto an approach or parts of a pattern? For example, points in a pattern (upwind, crosswind, downwind, final) or on an approach (initial approach fix, final approach fix, navigation points along the way).
Thanks!

Thanks again for your feedback. We will take this into consideration as we look at future software updates.
It appears that the re positioning by map doesn’t work on the IOS. It is working on a laptop but not an Ipad. Is this a local issue or a system known issue?
This is a new issue we just found with Apple IOS 13. IOS 13 ditched the use of 3D touch in favor of long touch, which is causing this feature not to work. We are currently working on a fix to resolve this issue.
At times when I reposition, after unfreezing the RTD will lose significant airspeed and stall. Sometimes it is possible to recover and other requires to shut down and reboot. What is the fix for this behavior?
Is it possible that the max airspeed as noted in step 3 of the article, is set to high in those instances causing it to stall? /rtd_troubleshooting_guide/#Airspeed_is_restricted_or_varies_causing_a_stall
Outside of this, we have not experienced this issue.
