[Sept 24 | Saturday 4PM ]Rancho Rage Roll-Out

[NameCoin]

I've only poked around in the X-Plane navigation database a few times, but I'm thinking that it should be possible to drum up an RNAV approach for the X-Plane 430. It's really a matter of putting together something that satisfies those instrument procedure design requirements. Anybody up for it?

By the way, to FSWind: I heard that the plates use Futura and Helvetica font styles. I just checked, and it does appear that most of the text is Futura. So maybe you can use the two to blend your text with the plate completely.

I mean this is what I was born 2 to.

WOW. I haven't flown a liner in a while so I will be a spectator for this one. Love the waypoint names.

Good luck every one.

For X-plane (use at your own risk)
ILS 10 - add an ILS to runway 10 w/3.5 degree glide slope to the top of the hill blocking runway 10 (inner marker). After the inner marker, you are on your own for glide slope.

Haha Really nice Job interesting it turns out to be a 3.5 degree glider

Why: “A question you will ask yourself after your first landing at Rancho”

Missed that part, lol, one day to go friends!

[AlexL]

Agree- now if we can find some handy nav aids (JLI) and maybe rig up a VOR approach for those days when the fog has you trapped beneath terrain...

That would be really fun to try!

PE Team:

Any chance that you guys will provide "Tower" ATC for this event, or allow someone to control via UNICOM?

[NyyDave]

Steve last time it was an uncontrolled paradise lol
