This should (roughly) match the look of the city when lit up at night. 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. -- Mark Hansen, PP-ASEL, Instrument Student Sacramento, CA |

If ATC references the landmark, it should be a navigation landmark, and indicated on the sectional with a magenta flag; right? Yes. 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. 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? -- Matt --------------------- Matthew W. Barrow Site-Fill Homes, LLC. Montrose, CO |
