Flight Log – Buffalo Ho

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!

  • 신용카드현금화

    좋은 글 감사합니다. 신용카드현금화을 알아볼 때는 정산 조건를 먼저 확인하는 게
    중요하다고 생각합니다.

    참고할 만한 내용이네요. 급하게 결정하기보다 수수료와 실수령액을 같이 보는
    게 필요합니다.

    저도 비슷하게 생각합니다. 신용카드현금화 관련 정보는 높은
    금액보다 실제 조건이 더 중요합니다.

    잘 읽었습니다. 신용카드현금화을 검색하는 사람들은 대부분
    급한 상황이 많아서, 개인정보를
    놓치기 쉬운 것 같습니다.

    필요한 내용이네요. 카드현금화 관련해서는 진행 전 조건을
    기록해두고 비교하는 게 좋다고
    봅니다.

    동의합니다. 빠른 정산 같은 표현은 편해 보이지만, 실제로는 수수료 차감까지 봐야 합니다.

    잘 보고 갑니다. 신용카드 현금화 관련 글은 수수료 구조를
    같이 설명해주는 쪽이 더 도움이 되는 것 같습니다.

    정리 감사합니다. 단기자금 문제 때문에 알아보는 경우라도, 상환 가능성은 꼭 따져봐야 합니다.

    생각보다 중요한 부분입니다. 신용카드현금화은 후기보다
    실제 조건이 중요하다고 봅니다.

    좋은 내용 감사합니다. 이런 주제는 결제일이 가까울수록 더 차분하게 정산조건을 확인해야 합니다.

    People call me Mike, a normal American guy, and during
    2018 I accidentally discovered one of the weirdest sports on Earth:
    car jitsu.

    If this is your first time hearing about it, you are not alone.

    The entire concept sounds like a joke. Two competitors climb inside a tiny automobile and try
    to score positions against each other while being trapped between the seats.
    Believe it or not. In most sports you have a ring, but in CarJitsu your battlefield
    is a cramped car interior. That is why people laugh when they
    first hear about it.

    It even has official events and competitive tournaments.
    Participants gather from various regions and try to prove who can master the
    unusual format. Different from most athletic competitions, every movement
    is limited by doors, seats, windows, and seat belts. The result is pure chaos.
    One second someone looks like a champion, and the next second they are
    stuck between the seats.

    Back then I was heavily interested in sports. I watched many sports events
    every week. I also spent time reading about
    betting markets. Many sports fans I knew compared sportsbook offers.

    Sometimes names like 1xBet would appear in conversations about major sporting events, although CarJitsu was usually too strange to be the main topic.

    One night I saw a video clip online. At first I
    thought it was satire. Competitive fighters were trying to wrestle inside a parked car while spectators
    were watching in disbelief. I laughed so hard that I
    almost fell off my chair. Yet the more I watched, the more fascinated I became.

    Soon after that, I found a local event and decided to show up.
    The atmosphere was incredible. There were fans discussing all
    kinds of sporting topics. Some people even joked
    about which athlete would be the favorite if a betting site ever offered odds
    on the matches.

    Watching was not enough. I signed up for beginner training.
    The first training day was hilarious. I hit my head on the roof,
    got stuck near a seat, and accidentally opened a door at the
    worst possible moment. The coaches laughed.
    Yet I kept coming back.

    Week after week, I improved. I learned how to use technique and movement.
    The vehicle became familiar. Soon I was entering local competitions.

    My friends thought I was completely crazy. Whenever someone asked what sport I practiced,
    the conversation usually went like this:

    “CarJitsu.”

    “What is that?”

    “Imagine wrestling inside a car.”

    “You’re joking.”

    “No, that’s the actual sport.”

    The most unforgettable competition happened at a major event.
    My opponent was massive. He looked like he could bench-press a refrigerator.
    Before the match started, he smiled and said, “Good luck.” I should have listened.

    The match began, chaos exploded. We bounced between seats, bumped into
    doors, and nearly tangled ourselves in everything inside the vehicle.
    The crowd was roaring. People were laughing and shouting.

    Then came the moment I will never forget.

    My opponent grabbed the seat belt and accidentally turned it
    into what looked like a crazy lasso. As we struggled
    for position, the belt snapped across the cabin and wrapped around me
    in the strangest way imaginable. For a second I thought,
    “I can’t believe this is happening”

    He pulled, I twisted, the seat belt locked, the door opened slightly,
    and both of us somehow ended up tangled together like two
    confused octopuses. The audience was laughing so hard that some people could
    barely stay in their seats. Nobody could believe what they were seeing.

    For a brief moment, I genuinely thought my opponent was going to flatten me.
    Luckily, the officials quickly intervened when things became unsafe, and the situation was resolved without serious injury.

    Afterward we both burst out laughing. Everyone loved it.

    Even today people who were there still talk about “that crazy seat belt match.”

    Looking back, CarJitsu remains one of the most unusual
    sports I have ever experienced. It gave me countless funny moments.
    Whether people are discussing sports, betting, sportsbooks, competitions, or
    events, very few things create reactions like CarJitsu.

    When people want to hear a crazy sports story, I always tell them about
    the day I climbed into a car in 2018 and accidentally became a CarJitsu
    competitor. Most people laugh. But after hearing about tournaments, athletes,
    training sessions, sports fans, betting conversations, sportsbook discussions, and my
    unforgettable seat belt battle, they usually agree on one thing:

    CarJitsu is absolutely insane.
