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!

    Just my two cents I have been studying this great blog for a while and I decided to drop a few things. To begin with Ive noticed that many punters usually overlook how crucial it is to have proper money discipline something that really changes the gaming results. Plus platforms right now are becoming incredibly unpredictable and thus you really ought to watch out. That aside you should check aviator game apk aviator demo aviator game online aviator game app as it shares very accurate insights for improve the fun. It’s also obvious that running after bad runs is the fastest way to lose it all which is why you should learn when to walk away. How do you normally deal with a losing streak?

    Дистанционное обучение военной психологии в центре повышения квалификации является современным и эффективным способом получения знаний и навыков в области военной психологии. Такой формат обучения обеспечивает специалистам из разных регионов осваивать новые компетенции без необходимости перемещаться и оставлять место работы на длительное время. Центры повышения квалификации ориентированы на подготовку и переподготовку профессионалов которые работают в сферах вооруженных сил правоохранительных органов и других силовых структур. В рамках дистанционного обучения предлагаются современные образовательные программы учитывающие специфику военной службы и психологические особенности военнослужащих. Одним из ключевых преимуществ дистанционного обучения считается гибкость графика занятий что особенно важно для лиц находящихся в служебных командировках или несущих круглосуточное дежурство. Возможность обучаться в любое удобное время исключает ограничения связанные с традиционными очными курсами. Образовательные платформы используемые в центрах повышения квалификации обеспечивают доступ к интерактивным лекциям вебинарам видеоурокам и тестам что способствует глубокому освоению материала. Такая методика позволяет не только изучать теоретические основы но и применять полученные знания на практике посредством виртуальных симуляций и кейс-стади. Военная психология как наука анализирует психологические аспекты поведения и состояния военнослужащих что играет важную роль в подготовке кадров для обеспечения боеспособности и психологической устойчивости войск. В дистанционных курсах рассматриваются темы стресс-менеджмента психологической поддержки особенностей адаптации к военной службе и методики работы с посттравматическим стрессовым расстройством. Квалифицированные преподаватели и эксперты с многолетним опытом работы в военной сфере обеспечивают высокий уровень обучения. Они проводят консультации отвечают на вопросы слушателей и поддерживают обратную связь что способствует активному вовлечению и эффективному усвоению материала https://chelseablues.ru/chto_nuzhno_znat_pered_nachalom_obuchenija_instruktorov_metodistov Помимо теоретической части дистанционное обучение военной психологии включает практические задания моделирующие реальные ситуации с которыми сталкиваются военнослужащие. Это помогает слушателям улучшать навыки принятия решений в условиях стресса и повышает их профессиональную компетентность. Центры повышения квалификации также предлагают возможность получения официального удостоверения или сертификата подтверждающего успешно пройденный курс. Документ такого рода признается работодателями и способствует карьерному росту и профессиональному признанию. Благодаря дистанционному формату обучение становится доступным не только для сотрудников крупнейших военных формирований но и для специалистов из отдалённых районов и малых населенных пунктов. Это способствует выравниванию уровня подготовки кадров и повышению общего качества военной службы. Таким образом дистанционное обучение военной психологии в центре повышения квалификации представляет собой оптимальным решением для тех кто стремится к профессиональному развитию в условиях ограниченного времени и географической удалённости. Этот подход сочетает в себе мобильность качество и актуальность образовательного процесса. 45yttrr

    volevo condividere un piccolo pensiero riguardo alla situazione dei casinò. Negli ultimi giorni ho visto che le piattaforme online stiano cambiando molto. Per fare un esempio le scommesse sportive sui vari eventi risultano più stabili rispetto al passato ma daltra parte i prelievi richiedono comunque tanta pazienza. In ogni caso per scoprire i bookmaker più seri e con i bonus benvenuto più alti diventa fondamentale analizzare la panoramica presente su chicken road game casino chicken road slot chicken road italia chicken road recensioni chicken road gioco visto che lì si trovano recensioni estremamente chiare sulle offerte del momento. Unaltra osservazione che volevo sottolineare è che la gestione del budget è sempre lunica grande regola per evitare perdite brutte. In conclusione a mio avviso il vero segreto è puntare con la testa senza andare in tilt. Qualcuno ha qualche dritta utile per gestire le puntate? Ci leggiamo nei commenti

    I honestly never believed that I would end up divorced. Over many years I focused on providing
    for my family, believing that we were building a future
    together. Then to my shock I discovered that my wife had been seeing another man. What hurt the most was that he was a rich businessman.
    I felt betrayed.
    The breakup hit me hard. There were sleepless nights.
    I wondered what I had done wrong. I worried about my future.
    But eventually I learned a valuable lesson: life was not over.

    Rather than staying bitter, I became focused on improving
    my finances. I started studying investing. Every day I learned about asset
    allocation, crypto markets, and financial planning.

    Eventually I found Paybis and it changed my routine. The
    first thing I noticed was the smooth onboarding experience.
    Buying crypto became surprisingly efficient.
    I regularly use Paybis for converting digital assets into traditional currency.
    Everything is easy to follow. I can monitor my transfers while maintaining better financial organization.
    The fintech side fascinated me. Learning about blockchain settlements gave me valuable knowledge.
    I followed industry developments. Gradually I became more strategic with my decisions.

    The biggest surprise came later. As I rebuilt my
    life, I realized that the problem was never financial. The real problem was respect.
    No amount of money can fix that.
    Sometimes life surprises you. A new relationship entered my life.

    She helped me believe in the future again. The best part was that she
    was positive and caring.
    Today I feel stronger than ever. That period of my life is finished.
    I created stability, improved my future, and found peace of mind.

    Looking back, I don’t hold onto bitterness. I simply appreciate
    the lessons. The worst moment became a turning point.
    My financial journey reminds me how much I have grown. The sense of freedom is hard to describe—relief, excitement, confidence, and gratitude
    all at once.

    Honestly Ive been reading the forum for a few weeks and I decided to post some of my thoughts. First off Ive noticed that many gamblers frequently miss how crucial it is to have proper limits and this totally defines your overall journey. Plus platforms lately seem way more dynamic therefore one ought to be cautious. Moving on I discovered an amazing guide chicken road slot chicken road casino game chicken road slot chicken road game review chicken road chicken road casino as it offers some fantastic insights for maximize your odds. It’s also true that trying to recover bad runs is the easiest path to go broke which is why you should know when to walk away. Do you concur with this or is there another strategy? Lets chat here
