This past Thursday the weather and our schedules cooperated to finish our travels to Buffalo. Although we expected wheels up at 6 Andrew got called up by his boss to do some more work just after 5pm. I sat on the tarmac for a while before deciding to start up and do some pattern practice. I listened to ATIS and it told me the winds were 19kts – haha WAT. Did a check of the weather report on SkyVector and although the reported heading was pretty close the winds were actually only supposed to be 8kts. I was looking at the windsock near the parking area and it definitely was not standing straight out like it should be for ~20kt winds so I just shrugged and decided to see how it would be. Took off, flew a decent pattern with a better rollout to final and landed. I was juuust past the touchdown marks after getting a bit high over the threshold. Final approach was easy, ~20° off the wind direction and it definitely did not feel like there was any strong crosswind. Checking my landing report (nice and soft, baby!) I noticed that it was reporting wind heading and speed that exactly matched the current METAR. So the sim weather was right the ATIS was wrong! Interesting…

As I was taxiing off the runway just before 6pm Andrew finally showed up so I waited for him to finish getting ready. Despite having him send over the exact livery folder he was using and being able to see his livery in my aircraft hangar, his aircraft still showed up as a generic Cessna 172. Will have to continue looking into that but no time now. After starting up he noticed his throttle control was not having any affect, so he went into the controls menu to remap it. I thought he had done this in-game but when his plane showed back up (going into the pause menu also causes it to vanish) and told me his barometer was set to 29.92 I had a feeling he had instead backed out to the main menu. I asked him to taxi over and look at the windsock in front of me, I sent him a picture of it and he sent me one back showing a dead sock not even pointing in the right direction. I informed him of a bug where the real-world weather does not reload if you restart a flight so he had to restart the whole sim unfortunately.

Flight plan is available here, this is the second leg.

Thankfully when he came back all his controls still worked, although he still looked like a generic 172 to me. We were finally able to taxi out together and depart from KFZY around 6:30 from Rwy33. I have slightly better climb performance than him so ended up higher as we left the airport behind. He also chose to stick to the left side of the river while I flew up the right, leveling off at FL15 as we approached Oswego. We came back within good visual range for a short time as we reached the shore of Lake Ontario but after turning west to begin following the shoreline Andrew had pulled way ahead. Although he slowed down to allow me to try and catch up, really with his plane having better performance he should have looped around behind me but I didn’t bother to force he issue.

Once established along the shoreline I finally tuned my NAV radio, which I really should have done before departure even though I didn’t need it so soon afterwards. I listened to confirm the Rochester VOR was working properly and began regular checks of the DME in my radio stack on my iPad app. Shortly afterwards Andrew announced he was turning to heading 287, which I initially found annoying that he would be bothering to hold a specific heading as noted on the route plan when we only just had to follow the shore of the lake but even if so it told me how much further ahead he was along the planned route. As I reached that point however at Sodus I told him he had turned early, back at Hut Haven, so he was way further out over the lake than he should have been. With only 1,500′ of altitude I was sticking right along the shoreline to be able to glide onto land in the event of engine troubles.

As we approached Rochester I made a slow climb to FL20 since I would have to fly further out over the water to stay clear of the Charlie airspace. Keeping tabs on my DME I made for the far point of land across the bay at 15nm, coming no closer than 12nm as I passed by, with the airspace starting 10nm out. No issues on the crossing, once back along the shoreline I switched over to the Buffalo VOR but neglected to also listen in to see if its morse code was broadcasting properly.

This leg of the trip had a clear coastal highway that was marked on the VFR charts, which abruptly ends at one point. I lost track of where I was a bit as I didn’t see the highway end while in conversation with Andrew and just looking around, also working to descend and maintain FL16, which was pattern altitude for our destination. In fact we both got a bit disoriented as to where we were but thankfully one of the many obstruction objects I added was a smokestack that was clearly visible as we each flew by in turn, him still leading me by a considerable enough distance we could no longer see each other.

Even though we got a bit lost as to how far we had progressed past Rochester the mouth of the Niagara River isn’t something you can easily miss and we both had no trouble spotting it and following it inland to the falls, threading between the airspace of KIAG and CYSN. Although I wouldn’t enter KIAG Delta airspace until after I passed over the falls I made sure to contact them just as I turned down the river to request a transition, which was of course approved. Although I manually tuned the radio though when I opened up the ATC window it connected me to Toronto for some reason on a different frequency so I had to back out to the Nearest Airports list and re-tune to KIAG. It’s really too bad they couldn’t have improved on the FSX ATC system prior to launch.

I very much enjoyed the scenery flying over the falls, enhanced with some add-ons and which will look even better later this year once they release the SDK for the particle system. For now I remained up at FL16, I will get closer with helicopters on a later visit. As I continued upstream I kept an eye out for traffic and also on my CDI, which was set to the BUF 152 radial. As the needle swung to center to show I was crossing the radial this also meant I was past the far-eastern edge of KIAG airspace, so I radioed in clear and was released to continue my own navigation.

Now, finding North Buffalo Suburban airport (0G0) at this altitude was going to be a bit challenging since the beacon was out of service but I was able to use some of the obstructions in the area to get a good fix on my position and use the bearing in the route plan to head in the general direction. Along the way I checked in with KIAG weather and just as I had finished noting the details I spotted the airport as I flew northwest of it. Whoops! Wrong side! I doglegged right atop the airport to get set for a left-pattern approach to Rwy28, with Andrew having arrived several minutes earlier making straight-in for Rwy10. I informed him that was downwind and he noted that he had seemed to have trouble slowing down on approach after forgetting to check the weather himself. Rolling out in line with the runway for final I decided to drop my flaps down a notch. This airport had no visual approach aids so it was nice to have to resort on nothing but my own flying skills to make a proper landing, which I again nailed softly.

You can see the whole flight with this Google Earth KMZ.

Overall the flight for me went as planned. I’m still a bit annoyed Andrew couldn’t fly on my wing but we’ll continue to work on that. I was rushed in my preparations for landing, which was not good by worked out okay. Even though I was able to stop just past halfway down the runway I’m glad I decided to drop some flaps but also should have known to do so rather than responded to a gut feeling upon seeing the runway on final. I should do better at checking runway lengths and my plane’s specs for landing capabilities – also I forgot to change the runway length in the flight plan for this airport so I thought it was 5000′ long like Oswego which is why when I rolled out onto final I was like “uhhh, this is a short runway…”. Finally, I need to do a proper pre-flight brief with Andrew because it turns out he was really not clear on several of the procedures I had planned for this flight.

Tomorrow I hope we can make the whole hop from Buffalo to Cleveland!

    I never thought betting could feel so safe until I tried surebetting.
    At first, I didn’t believe you could cover every outcome and
    still profit. But after testing it myself, I was shocked at how consistent the
    profits can be.

    It’s basically using pure math to make the outcome irrelevant.
    The first time I placed two opposite bets, it felt strange, but the results were unreal.
    For once, I didn’t care who won because the profit was
    already locked in.

    I didn’t expect the profits to add up so quickly.
    Most opportunities give around 1–5% profit,
    but those small gains stack fast. It’s closer to long-term investing than traditional betting.

    Using proper tools to find the opportunities made everything
    smoother. It finds the opportunities instantly
    and saves hours of searching. For once, the advantage feels like it’s on my side.

    If I had known about this earlier, I would’ve started long ago.

    Now I just sit back and let the small sure profits add up.
    If you want something steady instead of stressful betting, this method is a lifesaver.

    Choosing ɑ Mattress in Singapore: Tһe C᧐mplete Buyer’ѕ Guide
    f᧐r HDB, Condo & Landed Homes

    Ϝߋr most Singapore homeowners, buying ɑ mattress is
    оne of the most personal Singapore furniture decisions tһey face.
    Moѕt people spend mоre time choosing a sofa bed tһan tһey dо choosing tһе mattress they usе
    every night. Megafurniture’ѕ Somnuz mattresses
    ɡive you ɑ practical way to compare tһе mοst popular mattress types ѕide by side in one furniture store.

    Singapore’ѕ unique living environment tᥙrns mattress buying іnto a higһеr-stakes decision tһan many first-time buyers expect.
    Вecause Singapore stays humid alm᧐ѕt all ʏear,
    excellent breathability іѕ essential for keeping a mattress fresh.
    Dust-mite sensitivity іs far more common herе than most people
    realise. Тhe widespread use оf aircon at night can maқе ϲertain foam types
    feel firmer ߋr less comfortable than they Ԁіd սnder bright furniture store lights.

    Мost mattress options sold іn Singapore fall into one of fоur main construction categories, ɑnd understanding the real differences helps you choose smarter.
    Pocketed-spring mattresses սsе individually wrapped
    coils tһаt move independently, offering excellent motion isolation fоr couples
    and geneгally better airflow. Pure memory foam delivers excellent body contouring, уet many
    Singapore buyers now prefer versions ѡith ɑdded cooling technology.

    Latex mattresses stand ⲟut for their responsive bounce, superior breathability, ɑnd built-in resistance t᧐ allergens and mould.
    Many modern hybrids pair pocketed springs ᴡith targeted
    foam οr latex layers fоr balanced support and temperature regulation.

    Megafurniture’ѕ Somnuz collection conveniently represents tһe main construction types mⲟst local families ϲonsider.
    Firmness іs the most discuѕsed mattress feature, үet іt’s аlso thе most misunderstood Ьecause іt feels completely
    different depending on уour body weight ɑnd sleeping position. Ѕide sleepers generally benefit from medium-soft t᧐ medium firmness fοr proper spinal
    alignment. Ᏼack sleepers oftеn feel moѕt comfortable on medium to medium-firm surfaces tһat support tһе lower baϲk properly.
    Firm mattresses work better for stomach sleepers becɑuѕe tһey kеep
    the spine іn better alignment.

    Bedroom sizes in Singapore аre ⲟften mоre compact tһan international standards assume, s᧐ gettіng the right mattress size iѕ more important
    tһаn simply upgrading tо king. Тhe top layer ⲟf any mattress singapore plays a
    bigger role in local conditions than many people
    realise. Models ѡith bamboo fabric covers stay noticeably drier ɑnd fresher in humid Singapore bedrooms.
    Water-repellent finishes οn ϲertain Somnuz mattresses ɑdd practical
    protection agɑinst accidental spills ɑnd high humidity.

    Megafurniture’s Somnuz collection ԝas created
    to match the most common buyer profiles іn Singapore. Ϝor value-conscious buyers, the Somnuz Comfy delivers ɡood independent coil
    support ɑt an accessible prіce point. If yoᥙ want ƅetter cooling ɑnd allergen resistance,
    tһe Somnuz Comforto ᴡith its bamboo-latex combination іs often the
    smarter pick. Households tһat need spill аnd humidity
    protection uѕually lean toward the Somnuz Comfort Night model.
    For those who want the most upscale experience, tһе
    Somnuz Roman series sits at thе toρ of the range.

    Most people test mattresses thе wrong ᴡay dսring furniture
    showroom visits — ɑnd it leaads to regret lɑter. Bring yߋur оwn pillow and test tⲟgether with үoսr partner ѕo you can feel real motion transfer аnd pressure
    p᧐ints. Megafurniture’ѕ flagship furniture store ɑt 134 Joo Seng Road and tһe Giant
    Tampines outlet bօtһ display tһe full Somnuz range in realistic bedroom settings, mаking extended testing mսch
    easier.

    Confirm delivery timing matches уouг move-in or renovation schedule — thіѕ iѕ
    ߋne of the most common pain ⲣoints for neԝ BTO owners.

    A quality mattress shoulⅾ comfortably laѕt 8–10 yeaгѕ in Singapore conditions wһen chosen and maintained properly.
    Іf morning stiffness, visible sagging, օr increased motion transfer аppear, it’s tie to replace — the body oftеn compensates foг a failing mattress ⅼonger tһan most people realise.

    Решение о помещении пациента в стационар принимается на основе объективных медицинских критериев а не только по желанию родственников. К показаниям относятся: запой длительностью более 72 часов выраженная абстиненция с тахикардией артериальной гипертензией профузным потоотделением наличие в анамнезе алкогольных делириев или судорожных эпизодов сопутствующие хронические заболевания печени сердца поджелудочной железы. При отравление продуктами распада этанола когда интоксикация затрагивает несколько систем одновременно резкое прекращение употребления без медицинской поддержки может спровоцировать отек мозга острую сердечную недостаточность или желудочно-кишечное кровотечение. При сочетанных расстройствах когда в анамнезе присутствует наркомании протоколы адаптируются под специфику психоактивных соединений и включают усиленный нейрологический контроль. Стационар позволяет провести полноценную диагностику включая ЭКГ экспресс-анализы крови и мониторинг сатурации что формирует точную картину состояния и исключает шаблонные назначения.
