I generated a flight plan from simbrief but it doest not generate a approach plan. I can select a approach in navigraph but how can i apply this plan in aircraft in mfs2020. I am using Flybywire.

As mentioned in [the other topic](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/route-incomplete-after-importing-from-simbrief/13547), this is expected! But you probably knew that.

You can do this in at least two ways:

1. Open the generated OFP from SimBrief, check the route and enter it into the MCDU - probably the most common scenario in real life?
2. Load the flightplan using the INIT DATA REQ feature documented in the [FlyByWire documentation](https://docs.flybywiresim.com/fbw-a32nx/feature-guides/simbrief/#using-the-fms-mcdu-and-simbrief-integration)

Note this message in the documentation:

This confirms the answer you received on the other topic:

> [@Route incomplete after importing from SimBrief](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/route-incomplete-after-importing-from-simbrief/13547/10):

> SimBrief generates a flightplan, but the choice of procedures is ultimately up to the ATC or user based on airport operating procedures or weather! You will have to pick the approach yourself

In any case, you will need to configure the MCDU yourself, at least when it comes to runways and procedures! The documentation has a section on this procedure as well:

> **[Preparing the MCDU - FlyByWire Simulations Documentation](https://docs.flybywiresim.com/pilots-corner/beginner-guide/preparing-mcdu/#flight-plan)**
>
> Comprehensive documentation for FlyByWire Simulations

I hope this helps!

Kind Regards,  
Malte
