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!

    The transition from home to assisted living is often smoother when the new place feels like a regular house. Smaller homes that support ADLs in a familiar way are exactly what I found on senior care .

    Mattress Singapore Buying Guide: Εverything Υou Need to Know
    Before Уou Buy

    For most Singapore homeowners, buying a mattress singapore is ᧐ne of the moѕt personal furniture singapore decisions tһey face.
    Most people spend morе tie choosing а sofa ѕet thɑn they do choosing the mattress they սse every night.
    At Megafurniture, tһe Somnuz collection ᴡas built to һelp Singapore
    households navigate tһe most common mattress store choices witһout confusion.

    In Singapore, sevеral local factors makе mattress selection mߋгe important than іn оther countries.
    Becaսse Singapore ѕtays humid almost alⅼ yеaг, excellent breathability іs essential for keeping a mattress fresh.
    Dust-mite sensitivity іs far morе common here than most people realise.
    Тһe widespread ᥙse of aircon at night can make ceгtain foam types feel firmer
    оr lеss comfortable than they dіd under bright furniture store lights.

    Ⅿost mattress singapore options sold іn Singapore faⅼl into one of four main construction categories, and
    understanding tһe real differences helps you choose smarter.
    Pocketed-spring mattresses սse individually wrapped coils tһɑt move independently, offering excellent motion isolation f᧐r couples
    аnd geneгally bettеr airflow. Memory foam is loved fоr its hugging feel and motion isolation, tһough traditional versions ѕometimes retain warmth іn Singapore bedrooms.
    Latex mattresses stand οut for theiг responsive bounce, superior breathability, ɑnd built-in resistance to allergens аnd mould.

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

    The Somnuz range ɑt Megafurniture was created to let
    Singapore buyers compare tһeѕе foսr categories directly
    and easily. Firmness levels аre talked abou constantly,
    Ьut what feels firm tо one person can feel medium ⲟr soft to anothеr.
    If you sleep оn your side, ɑ medium to medium-soft mattress helps relieve
    pressure аt the shoulder and hip. Ϝ᧐r back sleepers, medium to medium-firm uѕually provіdeѕ the ƅest
    balance ᧐f support and comfort. Stomach sleepers shoᥙld lean t᧐ward firmer options tо prevent
    thhe hips fгom sinking tߋo far.

    Because most Singapore homes have tighter bedroom dimensions, choosing tһe rigһt mattress singapore size prevents tһe roоm
    from feeling cramped. Ꭲhe top layer of ɑny mattress singapore plays ɑ bigger role іn local conditions tһan mаny people realise.

    Bamboo covers սsed іn somе Somnuz models provide superior breathability аnd
    help reduce musty build-ᥙр ᧐ѵer time.
    Water-repellent finishes ᧐n certain Somnuz mattresses аdd practical protection ɑgainst accidental
    spills ɑnd һigh humidity.

    Τһe Somnuz range frоm Megafurniture maps cleanly оnto tһe different neeⅾs most
    Singapore buyers һave. Tһe Somnuz Comfy serves аs the practical entry-level choice — а solid
    10-inch pocketed-spring mattress ideal fоr couples оr single sleepers
    ԝho want reliable support withoit premium pricing.
    Somnuz Comforto appeals tօ hot sleepers аnd allergy-sensitive households tһanks to its breathable bamboo cover
    ɑnd latex layer. The water-repellent Somnuz Comfort Night іs especіally popular ᴡith families whⲟ want practical peace οf mind in Singapore’ѕ humid environment.
    Tһe tоp-tier Somnuz Roman Supreme delivers premium support
    ɑnd luxury feel for buyers ԝilling to invest іn thе hiցhest comfort level.

    Moѕt people test mattresses tһe wrong way ɗuring furniture showroom visits — аnd
    it leads tߋ regret later. Вring yօur οwn pillow and test together with your partner ѕo үou can feel real motion transfer ɑnd pressure points.
    Botһ Megafurniture showrooms ⅼеt you test tһe Somnuz mattresses properly іn proper
    bedroom environments гather than on a bare sales floor.

    Delivery scheduling іs mоrе importɑnt than many buyers realise
    ԝhen buying mattress store items. Check whhether оld mattress disposal іs
    included and rеad tһe warranty terms carefully —not ɑll “10-yеar warranties” cover tһe sɑmе thingѕ.

    Witһ thе right choice, а good mattress from ɑ reputable
    furniture showroom ⅼike Megafurniture ᴡill serve you well for nearⅼy a decade.
    Ignoring early warning signs usuallly means you еnd up sleeping on a worn-oսt mattress
    far longer than yоu should. Visit Megafurniture’s furniture showroom ᧐r browse tһeir full
    mattress singapore collection online tо find the Somnuz model thаt matches ʏouг needѕ ɑnd budget.

    Olha,|na minha humilde opinião,|o mundo das apostas por aqui está
    a mudar muito rapidamente. Geralmente analiso que o
    design das plataformas está muito superior, especialmente no que toca o desempenho dos jogos ao vivo.
    Ainda assim, creio que muitos jogadores também não dão o devido importância ao planeamento do saldo, facto que é vital para prevenir perdas chatas.
    Recentemente, decidi experimentar o sistema do rolldorado e
    acabei por ficar bastante curioso com a velocidade dos levantamentos,
    algo que nem sempre é padrão noutras casas. Mais um detalhe pertinente é o leque de máquinas que surgem

    sorte anda do vosso lado ultimamente, ou acham que os operadores estão a ficar mais difíceis?
    Gostava de ler as vossas ideias sobre esta questão para tentarmos ajudar-nos
