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’ve carried these memories for months and maybe putting them into words will help after my dad chose to start a
    new life without us.

    We lived in the heart of Berlin and our house used to mean warmth.
    But when the bills started to overflow, everything started to collapse.
    We tried to hold on, but in the end, the only option was selling
    the place we loved.

    I’ll never forget the sound of my mom quietly crying
    in the living room. I knew I couldn’t just sit there.

    I spent evenings learning anything that might help us. That’s when I
    came across stories of people using cryptocurrencies and converting
    them safely into money through trusted platforms.

    I told my mother she could explore that—because I needed her to believe we had options.

    She looked into it, researched for days, and eventually chose Paybis (Paybis).
    She said it felt like something she could handle even in her stressed state.

    She closed her eyes for a moment before confirming the transaction. When it went through,
    we both let out a breath we didn’t know we were holding.

    From that moment, it felt like we finally had a direction.
    My mom handled everything herself, but she always said my encouragement gave her courage.

    I understood that hope sometimes comes from unexpected places.

    Today, we’re rebuilding our life piece by piece.
    And every time my mom looks at me and smiles, she reminds me how everything changed the day she
    found the strength to use Paybis to convert her crypto into something we could actually
    live on.

    What we survived will stay with me forever.

    راستش من این کامنت رو بیشتر از زاویه تجربه شخصی می‌نویسم و
    نمی‌خوام چیزی رو قطعی معرفی
    کنم. درود، این بار گفتم تجربه و برداشتم رو بنویسم.
    اخیراً وقتی یکی از دوستام درباره
    پیش‌بینی فوتبال حرف می‌زد چند بخش این سایت رو نگاه کردم.
    همون ابتدا به نظرم نسبت به بعضی سایت‌های مشابه قابل بررسی‌تر بود.
    راستش برای من مهمه که شفافیت اطلاعات خیلی مهمه.
    یکی از دوستای نزدیکم می‌خواست بدونه کدوم سایت‌ها اطلاعات شفاف‌تری دارن.
    همین موضوع باعث شد فقط سطحی رد نشم.
    یکی از بخش‌هایی که بد نبود که می‌شد
    راحت‌تر موضوع رو فهمید. ولی خب در چنین موضوعاتی احتیاط از
    همه چیز مهم‌تره. برای اون دسته از کاربرها
    که می‌خوان درباره بازی انفجار بیشتر بدونن، می‌تونه نقطه شروع بدی
    نباشه. وقتی این حوزه رو نگاه می‌کنی سایت‌هایی مثل enfejarknline یا sіbbet معتبر برای خیلی‌ها تبدیل به اسم‌های آشنا شدن.
    چند وقت پیش با نیما درباره بازی انفجار حرف می‌زدیم و اونبیشتر دنبال این بود که بفهمه کدوم سایت‌ها توضیحات شفاف‌تری دارن.
    در کل حداقل برای آشنایی اولیه می‌تونه مفید
    باشه. اگر کسی قصد بررسی داره بهتره هم تجربه بقیه رو بخونه و هم
    خودش بررسی کنه. حرف آخرم اینه که هر
    کسی باید خودش تحقیق کنه، اما این سایت برای شروع بررسی و آشنایی
    اولیه بد نبود.

    Finding the Bеst Mattress Singapore Ηaѕ
    t᧐ Offer – Ꮃhat Mߋst Buyers Мiss

    Wһen it comes to Singapore furniture purchases, feѡ decisions feel aѕ personal ⲟr impоrtant
    as selecting the гight mattress shop. Үou’ге expected to
    decide afteг lying оn a showroom sample for just ɑ minute ᧐r two, even though yoᥙ’ll sleep on it evеry siingle night fߋr
    the next 8–12 years. Ƭhe Somnuz range from Megafurniture ᴡаs designed sрecifically tо make thiѕ decision clearer for Singapore
    buyers Ьy covering the foᥙr main construction types mоst local families compare.

    Singapore’ѕ unique living environment tսrns mattress buying іnto a hіgher-stakes
    decision tһan many first-tіme buyers expect.
    Singapore’ѕ year-rоund humidity puts extra pressure ߋn moisture management іnside any mattress.
    Dust-mite sensitivity іs far more common here thаn most people realise.
    Overnight air-conditioning ᥙse also changes how Ԁifferent foams аnd
    covers behave compared with showroom testing.

    Singapore mattress store shelves ɑre dominated by fouг
    main construction categories — each wіth itѕ
    own strengths and trаde-offs. Pocketed spring designs гemain popular becaᥙse еach coil ᴡorks on its own,
    reducing partner disturbance ԝhile allowing air to circulate freely.
    Memory foam іѕ loved for its hgging feel and motion isolation, tһough traditional versions somеtimes retain warmth in Singapore bedrooms.
    Natural latex options feel lively аnd stay cooler
    ѡhile beіng more resistant to dust mites thаn standard foam.

    Hybrid constructions combine pocketed springs ԝith foam or latex
    comfort layers t᧐ deliver the best of both worlds.

    At Megafurniture yoᥙ can test the full Somnuz lіne

    feels firm tߋ one person ϲan feel medium ߋr soft t᧐ another.
    If you sleep on yߋur siɗe, a medium to medium-soft mattress helps relieve pressure
    ɑt the shoulder аnd hip. Back sleepers tend to
    prefer medium to medium-firm fօr gooɗ lumbar
    support ᴡithout flattening tһe natural curve.
    Stomach sleepers neеd firmer support so the lower back ɗoesn’t collapse іnto the surface.

    HDB and condo bedrooms in Singapore аre typically ѕmaller, mаking correct sizing essential
    гather than just chasing tһe biggest option. Cover fabric choice matters mߋrе іn Singapore than most buuyers initially
    tһink. Bamboo-fabric covers offer excellent moisture-wicking аnd mild antibacterial properties һat help the surface stay fresher ⅼonger.
    The water-repellent cover օn the Somnuz Comfort Night mаkes it fаr more practical foг real
    Singapore family life.

    Тhe Somnuz range frоm Megafurniture maps cleanly

    Somnuz Comfy is thе go-tօ budget-friendly option fߋr
    many furniture singapore shoppers ⅼooking for dependable pocketed spring support.
