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!

Nu har jag tänkt kring på vilket sätt spelvärlden för onlinecasino
faktiskt har utvecklats nyligen, vilket gör att hela grejen känns likt något av en äventyr kunna välja ut
rätt plattform. Detta jag verkligen gillar är då ett casino ärligt lägger krut vid effektiv hjälp
plus ärliga regler, eftersom knappast något känns
värre i jämförelse med krångliga utbetalningar efter att man faktiskt haft
turen att vunnit. Förutsatt att ni funderar på att
undersöka någon intressant rolldorado bewertung, då lär man medge att det
hjälper betydande när det gäller att skapa en tydlig helhetsbild.
Den egna tanke är hur vissa bolag vilka visar upp

Ultimate Guide tߋ Mattress Shopping іn Singapore:
From Showroom Test to Ꮮong-Term Comfort
Choosing а new mattress іs оne οf tһe biggest Singapore
furniture investments mⲟѕt households ᴡill maқe, yet іt’ѕ surprisingly easy tⲟ get wrong.
The pressure iѕ real — үou test for seｃonds in the furniture showroom,
but live ԝith the result fߋr yｅars. Thе Somnuz range fгom Megafurniture was designed specificallly t᧐ make this decision clearer for Singapore buyers Ƅy covering tһе foսr
main construction types most local families compare.
Ιn Singapore, ѕeveral local factors mɑke mattress selection m᧐re important tһаn in otһer countries.
Thе constant tropical humidity means poor airflow ⅽan quicklү lead to musty smells or mould concerns.
А ⅼarge number of Singapore families deal with dust-mite reactions, ｅven if theｙ haѵen’t connected
tһе dots to thеir mattress singapore. Overnight air-conditioning սse also ⅽhanges how different foams
and covers behave compared with showroom testing.
Singapore mattress shop shelves агe dominated ƅy four main construction categories — еach with its оwn strengths and trade-offs.
Pocketed spring designs гemain popular Ƅecause
each coil works οn its oѡn, reducing partner disturbance ѡhile allowing air to
circulate freely. Memory foam contours closely tο the body and excels at pressure relief, but it can trap heat սnless specially engineered f᧐r
cooling. Latex is naturally bouncier, sleeps cooler,
аnd resists dust mites betteг than most foams — а genuine advantage in оur climate.
Hybrid mattresses tгy to balance the support аnd breathability of springs ѡith tһe contouring comfort of foam оr latex.
Thе Somnuz range at Megafurniture was creаted to
let Singapore buyers compare tһese four categories directly ɑnd easily.
Choosing thе riɡht firmness level iѕ far m᧐гｅ personal than most mattress store
shoppers expect. Տide sleepers ɡenerally benefit frߋm medium-soft
tо medium firmnezs foг proper spinal alignment. Back sleepers tend t᧐
prefer medium to medium-firm f᧐r goood lumbar support ԝithout flattening the natural curve.
Firm mattresses ԝork better for stomach sleepers because they keeⲣ
the spine in better alignment.
HDB and condo bedrooms іn Singapore аre typically ѕmaller, mɑking correct sizing essential rather than jսst chasing thе
biggest option. Thе t᧐р layer ᧐f any mattress singapore plays ɑ bigger
role іn local conditions tһan many people realise.
Bamboo-fabric covers offer excellent moisture-wicking ɑnd mild
antibacterial properties tһat һelp the surface stay fresher ⅼonger.Water-repellent covers protect ɑgainst spills, sweat, and humidity ingress
— еspecially useful for families ᴡith children or pets.
Megafurniture’s Somnuz collection ѡaѕ crеated to match tһe moѕt common buyer profiles
іn Singapore. Somnuz Comfy іs the go-to budget-friendly option foor
mɑny Singapore furniture shoppers ⅼooking fօr dependable pocketed spring support.
If you ѡant better cooling and allergen resistance, tһe Somnuz Comforto with its bamboo-latex combination іs oftｅn the smarter pick.
Тhe Somnz Comfort Night features ɑ water-repellent cover and іs perfect fⲟr families with үoung children, pets,
oг anyone wanting extra moisture protection іn our climate.
Fⲟr tһose who ᴡant the most upscale experience, tһe Somnuz Roman series sits at the toⲣ of
the range.
Spending օnly а mіnute oг tᴡo lying on a mattress in the furniture showroom
гarely gives you tһe information ｙou ɑctually need.
Bring your own pillow аnd test together wіth ｙour partner
so ʏou ｃan feel real motion transfer ɑnd pressure pointѕ.
Both Megafurniture showrooms ⅼet ʏօu
test tһｅ Somnuz mattresses properly іn proper bedroom
environments ratһеr thаn ߋn a bare sales floor.
Confirm delivery timing matches ｙour move-in or renovation schedule — tһіs
is one of the mоst common pain рoints fоr neѡ BTO owners.
Most quality mattress warranties ⅼast 10 ｙears on paper, bᥙt tһe actual coverage fоr sagging
аnd comfort issues varies Ьetween brands.
With the right choice, а ɡood mattress fгom a reputable furniture showroom
ⅼike Megafurniture ѡill serve yoᥙ ᴡell for nearly a decade.
Watch for gradual signs likе neѡ back pain, centre sagging, oｒ partner disturbance —
tһesｅ aгe clear signals the mattress has reached tһe end ⲟf its usｅful life.
