![]() "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message nk.net... You're contradicting yourself. When I asked if you proceed from Ripon to Fisk, or from Ripon to beach umbrella you said; "Neither. You proceed from Ripon up the railroad tracks to a point about 500 yards east of the beach umbrella directly over the railroad tracks." Not if you read it correctly. You do not proceed to either the beach umbrella nor to the town of "Fisk" nor to FISKE, however you wish to define it. You proceed up the railroad tracks to what we commonly call "Fisk", which is 500 yards east of the beach umbrella and directly over the railroad tracks. You do NOT deviate from the railroad tracks until given persimmon to do so. Or what we CALL Fisk. Fisk itself is a small town about half a mile to the north-northwest of the railroad tracks. Fisk is south of the railroad track. You are correct. My memory was when we drove out to see it in February a couple of years ago. The "business district" (both of them) is about a mile north-northwest of Highway 44, not a mile north of the tracks. My bad. The controller's tent or umbrella is on a small knoll in the middle of a grassy field about halfway between the railroad tracks and the town of Fisk. You stay over the railroad tracks at the prescribed altitude and airspeed until advised by the controllers in the tent which of the approach procedures to execute. Over the railroad tracks at Fisk Avenue puts you almost exactly 500 yards abeam the tent/umbrella on the knoll to your port side. So what? So what I said on my first pass at this. Jim |
