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!

    Лечебная логика строится по принципу «одна цель — один маркер — одно окно оценки — один выключатель». Например, задача «открыть окно питья» решается антиеметическим мостом и мягкой регидратацией; как только вода пьётся без позывов и появляется стабильный диурез, модуль отключается. Если целевой маркер «ЧСС/АД в рабочем коридоре» достигнут — снимаем антивегетативный контур. Это дисциплина маленьких шагов, где каждый следующий ход становится очевидным из предыдущих цифр, а не из ожиданий.

    Старт всегда опирается на факты, а не на удобство расписания. После короткого опроса и осмотра врач объясняет, где безопаснее начать — на дому или в стационаре. Если показатели стабильны, домашний формат выигрывает приватностью и скоростью: знакомая среда снижает стресс, легче наладить сон, а выездная бригада привозит всё необходимое для мониторинга и инфузионной терапии по показаниям. При признаках нестабильности мы честно рекомендуем короткий стационар на 24–48 часов: круглосуточное наблюдение позволяет ранее заметить неблагоприятную динамику, корректировать схемы без пауз, подключать диагностику «по триггерам», а не «на всякий случай». В любом варианте пациент получает понятный план на трое суток: режим жидкости и питания, техники «буферов» на вечер, ограничения по нагрузкам, правила ранней связи при тревожных симптомах. Такой реализм убирает хаос, бережёт силы семьи и защищает результат: усложнения перехватываются раньше, а поведение становится предсказуемым — это особенно важно в плотном городском ритме.

    Exodermin ára gyógyszertárban
    Cuando se trata de cuidar nuestros pies, es crítico contar con productos efectivos.

    La salud podal a menudo pasa desapercibida, pero es esencial para nuestro bienestar general.
    Hay muchas alternativas disponibles en farmacias, diseñadas para
    combatir diversas afecciones. Desde cremas hasta
    sprays, la variedad es amplia, pero ¿cuál elegir?

    No todos los tratamientos son iguales. Algunos pueden ofrecer
    resultados rápidos, mientras que otros requieren un uso prolongado.
    Al explorar el mercado, es importante entender lo que cada opción puede proporcionar.
    La prevención y el cuidado son claves en el manejo de problemas comunes
    como hongos o irritaciones.
    Además, la información sobre estos productos puede ser confusa.
    Se presentan múltiples marcas y formulaciones, complicando la decisión. Sin embargo, uno debe considerar factores como la composición, eficacia y la recomendación médica
    en este proceso de selección. El conocimiento es poder, y tener claro lo
    que buscamos es fundamental para lograr una buena elección y mantener
    nuestros pies en óptimas condiciones.
    Disponibilidad en farmacias
    Encontrar ciertos productos en farmacias no siempre
    es un proceso sencillo. Existen muchas condiciones que afectan su disponibilidad.
    Algunos medicamentos son más fáciles de obtener que otros.
    Entre ellos, hay variedad según la demanda y la oferta.
    En las últimas semanas, ha habido un creciente interés por este tipo
    de tratamientos.
    Las farmacias varían notablemente en su capacidad
    para ofrecer opciones específicas. Además, es común que no todos los
    establecimientos cuenten con el mismo stock. Algunas cadenas grandes
    tienen una mayor probabilidad de tenerlo en sus anaqueles,
    mientras que las farmacias independientes pueden no abastecerse tan fácilmente.

    Debido a estos factores, es recomendable realizar varias consultas.
    Esto te dará una mejor idea de dónde podrías hallarlo.

    Los precios también pueden fluctuar dependiendo de la ubicación y de la farmacia que elijas.
    En general, si buscas en línea o te comunicas con las farmacias
    de tu zona, podrás obtener más información sobre su disponibilidad.
    Las tiendas pueden ofrecer servicios de reserva o pedidos
    especiales, lo que facilitará el acceso a lo que necesitas.

    Considera tener diferentes opciones en mente para no quedarte sin tu producto deseado.
    En ocasiones, se puede presentar la oportunidad de acceder a
    versiones alternativas. Mantente atento a las promociones, ya que a veces ofrecen descuentos
    importantes que resultan beneficiosos. Al final, la clave
    está en la búsqueda diligente y en la comunicación con los profesionales de la salud y los farmacéuticos.

    Beneficios y usos de Exodermin
    Al hablar de productos diseñados para el bienestar
    de la piel, es fundamental considerar sus múltiples beneficios y aplicaciones.

    Estos tratamientos son versátiles y pueden convertirse en el aliado perfecto para diferentes afecciones, desde irritaciones hasta
    problemas más complejos.
    Una de las ventajas más destacadas es su
    capacidad para abordar diversas condiciones dermatológicas.

    Muchas personas reportan mejoras significativas en la salud de su piel tras su
    uso. No solo ayudan a aliviar molestias, sino que también promueven un aspecto más saludable.
    Su formulación única maximiza la efectividad, permitiendo una rápida
    absorción.
    Este tipo de producto se utiliza comúnmente en situaciones de picazón e inflamación. También puede ser útil para combatir hongos y bacterias.
    En algunos casos, los usuarios observan resultados positivos en pocos días.

    Sin embargo, es esencial seguir las indicaciones del fabricante para lograr un tratamiento
    efectivo.
    Adicionalmente, su aplicación es sencilla y requiere poco tiempo, lo que lo convierte en una opción práctica para aquellos que llevan un estilo de vida
    acelerado. Por otro lado, su versatilidad permite que se integre
    fácilmente en diferentes rutinas de cuidado personal,
    lo cual es otra razón para considerar su uso de manera regular.

    Los ingredientes activos de este producto están diseñados para ofrecer un efecto duradero y, en muchos casos,
    restaurar la barrera natural de la piel, lo que es crucial para prevenir futuras irritaciones o infecciones.
    Así, se establece una conexión positiva entre el bienestar dermal y
    la calidad de vida de quienes lo utilizan.
