VOR approach SMO
Where are you digging up such erroneous thoughts?
With 800/3 you'll be way outside CULVE when you see the runway. That's the difference between the pros that were landing without any fan fair and you, without a clue. Karl "B" wrote in message ... karl gruber wrote: I see no problem with the weather 800/3 as you point out. Inside BEVEY drive down to 680 outside CULVE, and have 3 miles to descend 505 feet. Any jet will do that all day long. Karl "Curator" N185KG So, now you're past the runway and landing on the VOR shack. It is 1.54 miles from CULVE to the beginning of the runway. |

No, the VIS is 3. It doesn't matter where the VOR is. You can be at 680 6.7
miles out. When you are 3 miles from the AIRPORT, it will be in sight. Karl "Robert M. Gary" wrote in message ups.com...

Not with DME, you'll be at 680 far before CULVE.

What you advocate is a violation of the FARs, but I guess that is the
way it is with Cessna Curators. So, what is your minimums busting scheme when the weather is right at minimums; i.e., 600 and 1? karl gruber wrote: Where are you digging up such erroneous thoughts?

That's the difference between the pros that were landing without any fan fair and you, without a clue. Karl Karl, You are misreading the chart. The underlined 1120 at CULVE means that is the minimum altitude at that location. IF you can identify CULVE, then AFTER passing CULVE you may descend to 680', but not before. The * next to CULVE means only that if the Tower is closed, DME is required. The * does not change the 1120 to 680. Also, it is not in accordance with TERPS to allow a 680' minimum altitude at CULVE with the nearby 863' tower. Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) |

Not with DME, or do you think that a Gulfstream wouldn't have DME??

I am reading the plate. Apparently, you are not.
