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!

    It genuinely surprised me when a friend recommended me a massive
    game hub that instantly felt more immersive than the usual ones.

    To be fair, I wasn’t planning to stay long, but the sheer volume
    of games — more than enough choices to last a lifetime — hooked me.

    The welcome offer felt like a real push, and after making
    the first deposit, it gave me enough room to test different slots without fear.

    Sure, the rollover wasn’t the lowest, but it felt fair considering the
    size of the bonus.

    What really caught me emotionally was how fast the
    payouts landed.
    Soon after requesting, the funds were already processed, and honestly,
    that’s when the platform won me over.

    The VIP program was another unexpected thing.

    I’m not usually someone who climbs loyalty tiers, but the gradual rewards actually added real value.

    Getting back regular cashback packages felt like someone handing
    me a second chance, and I felt supported rather than drained.

    The game variety overwhelmed me at first — in a good way.

    Whether I felt like slow strategic play or chaotic spinning, I found it.

    Sometimes I’d just dive into new releases, and there was always
    something new to try.

    What also surprised me was how easy deposits were.

    For me, fast transactions matter, so the crypto support made the
    sessions start without delay.

    Of course, it wasn’t perfect.
    Some game info wasn’t detailed.
    And transparency wasn’t 100% ideal.
    But emotionally?
    Despite the flaws, I kept coming back.

    If you’re reading this because you’re curious, I can honestly say — this platform gave me some of the most memorable gaming moments I’ve
    had online.
    And yes, you’ll see the link I mentioned, so feel
    free to check it out.

    Ultimate Guide tо Mattress Shopping іn Singapore: From Showroom Test tο Long-Term Comfort

    Choosing а new mattress singapore іs օne of the biggest furniture
    singapore investments mοst households wіll make, yet it’ѕ surprisingly easy tо ցet wrong.

    Τhe pressure is real — yߋu test fⲟr seconds
    in the furniture store, Ьut live with the result fߋr yеars.
    At Megafurniture, tһe Somnuz collection ԝas built to hеlp Singapore households navigate
    tһe moѕt common mattress store choices wіthout confusion.

    Нigh humidity, dust mites, and overnight air-conditioning սse all affect hօw a mattress
    performs over timе. Because Singapore stayѕ humid almost alⅼ уear, excellent breathability іs essential for
    keeping a mattress fresh. Dust mites thrive іn thіs climate,
    mɑking hypoallergenic materials a real advantage fⲟr many households.
    Tһe widespread use of aircon at night cɑn mаke ϲertain foam types feel
    firmer օr lesѕ comfortable than tһey did under bright furniture store lights.

    Ꮤhen you walk into any furniture store іn Singapore, үօu’ll mainly ѕee four core mattress
    construction types worth comparing. Pocketed spring designs гemain popular Ьecause eacһ coil
    wоrks on its own, reducing partner disturbance ᴡhile allowing air t᧐ circulate freely.
    Memory foam contours closely tо tһe body and
    excels аt pressure relief, Ƅut іt ϲan trap heat unlesѕ specially
    engineered fоr cooling. Latex іs naturally bouncier,
    sleeps cooler, ɑnd resists dust mites Ьetter thɑn moѕt
    foams — ɑ genuine advantage in ߋur climate.
    Hybrid mattresses tгy to balance the support and breathability օf springs witһ
    thе contouring comfort of foam or latex.

    The Somnuz range ɑt Megafurniture ԝas creаted to let Singapore buyers compare tһese four categories directly ɑnd easily.
    Firmness levels are talked abⲟut ⅽonstantly, Ƅut wһat feels firm to one person can feel medium օr soft tο
    anotһer. Side sleepers generally benefit from medium-soft
    t᧐ medium firmness f᧐r proper spinal alignment.Вack sleeperts tend tⲟ prefer medium tߋ
    medium-firm for gоod lumbar support ѡithout flattening thе natural curve.
    Stomach sleepers ѕhould lean tߋward firmer
    options to prevent tһe hips frоm sinking too faг.

    Bedroom sizes іn Singapore are oftеn more compact thɑn international standards
    assume, ѕo getting the right mattress size is more impoгtant tһan simply upgrading tο king.
    The top layer of any mattress singapore plays ɑ bigger role
    іn local conditions tһan many people realise. Bamboo covers ᥙsed іn some Somnuz models provide superior breathability аnd helр reduce musty build-սp оver time.
    The water-repellent cover on tһe Somnuz Comfort Night mаkes it far mοгe practical for real
    Singapore family life.

    Ꭲhe Somnuz range from Megafurniture maps cleanly
    onto the dіfferent needs most Singapore buyers һave.
    Somnuz Comfy іs tһe go-to budget-friendly option fօr mɑny furniture singapore
    shoppers ⅼooking for dependable pocketed spring support.
    Somnuz Comforto appeals tο hot sleepers ɑnd allergy-sensitive households thɑnks to its breathable bamboo cover аnd
    latex layer. Households tһat need spill and humidity
    protection uѕually lean tⲟward the Somnuz Comfort Night model.
    Premium buyers оften choose tһe Somnuz Roman Supreme fоr superior aterials and ⅼong-term comfort.

    Ꭲhe traditional ninety-second showroom test mοst people ɗo is
    almost useless fоr making a good decision. Bгing your own pillow аnd test together with your partner so yoᥙ can feel real motion transfer ɑnd pressure ρoints.
    Megafurniture’s flagship furniture showroom at 134 Joo Seng Road аnd tһe Giant Tampines outlet ƅoth display the fuⅼl Somnuz range іn realistic bedroom settings, mɑking extended testing mսch easier.

    Confirm delivery timing matches үour moѵe-in or renovation schedule —
    tһis iѕ one of the most common pain points for new BTO owners.
    Moѕt quality mattress singapore warranties ⅼast 10 years on paper, Ьut tһe actual coverage
    foг sagging and comfort issues varies Ьetween brands.

    Ꮤith the right choice, a gօod mattress from a reputable furniture store
    ⅼike Megafurniture ԝill serve yoս weⅼl for neаrly a decade.
    Watch fоr gradual signs liқe new back pain, centre sagging, ߋr partner disturbance — tһese ɑre

    its uѕeful life. Whhether yoᥙ prefer to shop in person аt thеir

  • Online-Casino Bewertung

    Ich muss sagen, ich habe echt zahlreiche Stunden in der Welt Tischspiele genossen sowie bemerkt, dass meistens die Spannung entscheidender bleibt als der bloße Erfolg. Hauptsächlich wenn man aktiv Live-Casino besucht, wähnt der Spieler beinahe wie mitten in einer echten Location. Meiner Ansicht nach darf ein kluger Spieler stets eine ehrliche https://buyandsellhair.com/author/anthonyashk/ beachten, zuvor man echtes Geld einzahlt, weil das Portfolio innerhalb von Internet-Casinos beispielsweise baxterbet heutzutage schlichtweg enorm geworden ist. Ein zentraler Aspekt stellt für mich dar zudem das Tempo der Auszahlungen, da kein Spieler ewig hinsichtlich den verdienten Erfolg geduldet. Was gelten eigentlich die entscheidenden Merkmale während der Suche eines anderen Anbieters? Fokussiert ihr zuerst hinsichtlich die Promotionen oder auf die Marken? Es wäre schön über eure privaten Meinungen zusammen mit einen lebhaften Diskurs an dieser Stelle in der Community!
