Now that the 3rd GEO is commissioned, the availability in the NorthEast is good enough once again. Personally, though, you'd have to be nuts to fly in the cold of the last couple of days, unless you have some way of taking the heat directly off the engine block! I guess between all of us bothering various Feds, someone finally got to someone who could make the decision to remove!! No bother at all, Ron. When a thread comes along that actually applies to what I do for work, I want to find out what's going on and see about resolving the issue(s) if I can. All of this stuff doesn't mean anything if the end user can't benefit from it. Y'all could just stay home, simulate flight, and order the $100 burger for delivery, right? If the OTS was "properly" issued, because of the satellite being moved, it does not make sense that it should only apply to a single airport in ME; especially with our generally poor coverage (even after the new satellite deployment) and also given the guidance published in 2003. I'll see what I can find out regarding edge-of-coverage issues. It comes down to where the "line is drawn", so to speak, but you bring up a good point regarding KAUG being singled out. Was it the only one? I haven't had time to look up if there were other locations at the edge- of-coverage which also had vertical approaches. An "unrel" Notam would have been proper, even then. Perhaps. My best guess here is that a) the availability was so poor, they felt it better to be safe and disable it entirely and b) to avoid potential confusion, they decided not to use the UNREL contraction for this purpose. I have spent years, by the way, to try to get sufficient heat into my a/c to fly this time of year. I still have some drafts to seal up, but it's better this year than it's ever been. One of the changes was adding an extra heat muff (done via a logbook entry, by the way). Flying this time of year is amazing so far as performance is concerned! If I can preflight in a hangar, I'm good. Are you based up in ME or were you just flying there? Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) Regards, Jon |
