Amazing. Nobody ever told me that!

You've had a deprived life. :~(


What would we do with newsgroups to consume our time and fill our
minds with facts?

How would you handle this:

ATC tells me "Stay west of Federal Blvd during your departure".

I response "I can't make out the street signs from up here".

Was this a rhetorical question? If ATC references the landmark, it
should be a navigation landmark, and indicated on the sectional
with a magenta flag; right?

The A/FD and Flight Guide are other good places for 'local'
information like this. When they have a documented procedure like
this, they will usually show it on the airport diagram in or both
of those books.

Not entirely.

In the case in point (several years ago), I did know the location but I
don't recall if it was on the chart and it most definitely was NOT on the
procedure chart. I wonder how many such Nav fixes are discernable to
non-locals?
