I have flown into Rhode Island several times, and always file direct. However, as I begin to approach the area (about 150 mi out) ATC gives me ammended routing. My problem is that I am unfamiliar with the navaids/airways in that part of the country and it adds a lot of stress to the flight trying to locate the navaids/airways and then to put it into the G1000. I don't keep my paper scraps so that I can't look up what ammendments I was given. My next trip there will be in early March, and I would like to be better prepared. Does anyone know what the preferred routing is when approaching from the west. I will probably go into KOQU (I like the FBO there much more than KPVD). Thanks, Cary Mariash Depends where you are coming from. If from the south and single engine, expect V16 Kennedy (JFK) V229 Bridgeport (BDR) V475-V188 Groton (GON) at either 5000 or 7000' From points west (i.e. Pennsylvania), expect to get Lake Henry (LHY) V58 Hartford (HFD). From Northeast, you'll get routed around the Boston Class B, more often than not over the water if coming down the coast. I can't remember the intersections off hand, WITCH maybe?. If in Vermont or NH, You'll probably get Gardner (GDM) Putnam (PUT) Providence (PVD). Not sure if you are coming from upstate NY, as it has been a while, but I think the routing was via Pawling and Hartford. Most of my flights are either up the coast of Maine, down to the DC area or out over Pennsylvania. I am based at KPVD and live just north of KOQU about a 1/4 mile in from the water. |
