Every weekend as a kid we headed to Wilkes-Barre to spend time with family while my dad helped family build houses. This was back when it was a single tunnel, many days off backed up traffic during holiday travel. It's so much fun to fly over those tunnels and not have to deal with driving and all the traffic.

While the hold is shown with the dark line, joining the procedure from south of the the other IAFs (JASIV and FOTFE), that entire arc is marked NoPT (the 30 NM to VIVIC arc showing an MSA of 4800). Because I was coming up from the south, I did not have to fly the hold and the controller was expecting me to go straight in. But, obviously, that's where I should have asked for the hold to lose the altitude.<br /><br />Wait until you see the next post. Atlanta Approach through a bunch of nonsense at a NetJets pilot trying to approach the same airport IFR. Total horror show.

I would have assumed the dark line meant it was part of the approach just like our approaches here at OXB, since it was the IF/IAF. I then noticed the HOLD after you had went over your thought process and bringing up the plate. It happens in the moment and you handled it. The best part is we all get to learn for the next time.

If that keeps happening, it might be worth considering a different option. Until now, I have thought of the XM weather as nicer, but not truly necessary for the type of flying that I do. While I know that it's more precise, with upload lag on both products, precision isn't my concern. Who needs that kind of precision when the weather has moved since the picture was created? Accurate portrayal of intensity is very much of interest.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846593737518887287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910924549702235794.post-22799726477215932382023-06-15T13:31:08.958-04:002023-06-15T13:31:08.958-04:00A good day of flying and dealing with the weather....A good day of flying and dealing with the weather. I have given serious thought to adding xm weather back in the plane. I had the garmin 496 in the sundowner and always thought the wx was much more precise on that then the ADSB product. Giving some thought to the GDL 52, if there is any money left after annual. ;)<br /><br />I am just now catching up on blog posts, life has been kind of busy with the annual and transportation issue piled on.

The FAA has never taken so long with it before. I've never even been close to a lapse in 12 years of doing this. Very frustrating. I suspect it's all about the backlog and that they probably just have not gotten to it yet. The status update I submitted looks like all the ones before it, so there should be nothing controversial or worrying in there.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846593737518887287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910924549702235794.post-90796018908796961782023-04-05T11:41:44.116-04:002023-04-05T11:41:44.116-04:00Thanks for sharing your tour.
