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!

    Zdravicko forum Za posledne mesiace si pravidelne kladiem otazku ze hrat na platformach je mimoriadne premenlive. V niektorych momentoch je to fakt sialene a clovek netusi co pride v dalsom kole. Okrem toho sa pravidelne javi ze cerstve portaly rozdavaju podstatne stedrejsie odmeny ako tie tradicne co mna osobne motivuje pravidelne striedat stranky. Pritom musim bezpochyby povedat ze v pripade ze ma clovek dobru taktiku a poctivo kontroluje svoj bankroll da sa to dlhodobo uzivat. Minuly tyzden som ked som mal cas nasiel jeden skvely zdroj url=https://sk.pinterest.com/bayipazu/_created/vegas hero bonus/url kde som nasiel naozaj odborne analyzy ohladom efektivnej hry. Fakt to odporucam predovsetkym pri vybere dobrych kurzov. Mimochodom co sa tyka atmosfery vsimol som si ze hranie s realnymi krupiermi je podstatne transparenejsie ako bezne automaty. Dava to tu pravu adrenalinovu naloz co mi pri beznych slotoch chyba. V konecnom dosledku je nakoniec alfou a omegou aby sme sa zabavali bezpecne a pravidelne nezabudali ze je to odreagovanie nie praca. Co si o tom myslite? Sustredite sa viac na automaty respektive mate inu strategiu? Uvitam vase postrehy. Uspesnu hru prajem celej komunite

    The section on understanding what’s included in the base price vs add-ons is very clear. We’ve had many questions about that on respite care .

    The point you made about staffing levels in Nursing Homes versus Assisted Living is key. More medical staff means higher care but also a different environment. I used respite care to look deeper into typical staffing ratios in each type.

    Pekny den prajem vsetci Uz dlhsie si pravidelne myslim ze tipovat online v rulete je mimoriadne zabavne. Obcas je to dost nevyspytatelne a clovek nevie predpovedat co moze cakat. Zaroven sa bezne stava ze cerstve portaly rozdavaju vyrazne lepsie bonusy ako tie tradicne co hraca motivuje stale skusat stranky. Ale musim jednoznacne povedat ze v pripade ze ma clovek spravnu strategiu a striktne kontroluje svoj bankroll da sa to krasne vnimat ako relax. Nedavno v noci som pri hladani narazil na zaujimavy web url=https://x.com/app_vegasherovegas hero app/url kde som ziskal skutocne cenne rady ohladom vyberu hier. Dalo mi to iny pohlad najma ak ide o dlhodobom hrani. Este by som dodal ze co sa tyka samotneho zazitku vsimol som si ze stavkovanie nazivo je neporovnatelne lepsie ako predzapasove stavky. Poskytuje to skutocnu dynamiku co mi pri digitalnych automatoch casto chyba. Na zaver je nakoniec to najhlavnejsie aby sme tipovali s rozumom a pravidelne mali na pamati ze je to len forma zabavy nie sposob zarabania. Ako to vidite vy? Hravate skor ruletu respektive striedate to? Uvitam tipy do diskusie. Nech sa dari vsetkym

    Главная цель процедуры — экстренное вытрезвление и запуск детоксикации. Лечебный эффект достигается благодаря многокомпонентному составу который подбирается индивидуально. Облегчение симптомов похмелья и алкогольной интоксикации обычно наступает уже в течение первого часа после начала внутривенного введения растворов. В основу рецептуры входят солевые и электролитные смеси восполняющие нехватку жидкости и солей. Физраствор и глюкоза снижают концентрацию этанола в крови разжижают кровь используются для восполнения дефицита жидкости и электролитов. Дополнительно мы включаем кардиопротекторы гепатопротекторы ноотропы и успокоительные лекарства создающие комплексную поддержку. В некоторых случаях врач назначает диуретик для ускоренного выведения токсинов и гидрокарбонат натрия для борьбы с ацидозом. Такое лечение не только снимает похмельный синдром но и готовит пациента к дальнейшей реабилитации. Подробнее тут – kapelnica-ot-zapoya-zakazat

    Zdravicko ludia Uz dlhsie si pravidelne kladiem otazku ze tipovat na platformach je mimoriadne premenlive. Niekedy je to poriadny adrenalin a uzivatel netusi co sa stane. Popritom sa pravidelne potvrdzuje ze nedavno spustene kasina maju vyrazne stedrejsie bonusy ako tie zname co hraca nuti pravidelne striedat platformy. No musim urcite povedat ze ak ma clovek vyladenu taktiku a striktne strazi si svoj bankroll da sa to bez problemov vnimat ako relax. Nie tak davno som uplnou nahodou nasiel vyborny portal url=https://www.tiktok.com/sk_vegashero?lang=frvegas hero recenzie/url kde som ziskal skutocne super triky ohladom stavkovania.

Dava to tu pravu emociu ktora mi pri klasickych slotoch nedostava sa. Zhrnute a podciarknute je podla mna vsetko o tom aby sme hrali hlavne pre zabavu a vzdy nezabudali ze je to hobby nie praca.
