ah, roger,

Yeah, the point I was (not so eloquently) attempting to make was that if a CAT-II approach requires a minimum visibility of 100 feet vertically (over the runway) then it's dubious to me that a CAT-II approach could be written for such an approach as 46CA RW10 where you nearly tail-strike ...

To answer the other questions.

Simply put this is 100% wrong. it is 100% impossible to put an ILS into runway 10, and most likely impossible to runway 28 (missed approach segment) without outrageous minimums.


Huh. That's the most violently someone has agreed with me in a long time.

My post was ...

I'm almost certainly wrong about this so I'd be interested in the remarks, but there's probably a maximum angle that instrument approaches are written for, and the descent to the runway at 46CA would probably be steeper than that angle -- too steep because of the ridge. If the angle isn't too steep ...

If you guys don't think this field is *ideal* for a VFR DC-3, Think again!

I only seem to make about 3K per flight, but I've never lost money on a flight. At some point, I'll have the funds to buy something (I'm saving for a C210, but since the only one currently for sale is in Tanzania, and I don ...

I have mixed feelings about the change, but overall I think it's going to result in a better experience.....

I too have mixed feelings. I was in a jam-up trying to be clearance the other night, myself, and it took so long to get my clearance that by the time I had it, I had to disconnect because ...

I second the notion of "keeping it real." It would rob the joy of accomplishment to make the runway something it's not.

So, ksmith, you're flying an MU-2 now... May I ask which file? Also specifically in regards to 46CA what were your flaps/approach speed?

ATIS over COMMS works for me in V10.b8 (FWIW)

What version?

I was reading this thread and thinking about what I would have done in the same circumstance.
...
I got to be honest here. If the following are all true:

Clearance limit includes destination airport
original flight plan included the IAF. In this case KWANG
...


Wait. I'm mostly clogging up ...

OK I have installed the XP NOAA WEATHER plugin in the sim. I have set it to switch to the metar at 5000ft. This is running with SkyMax Pro 2.0 also. Is there any other weather plugins or apps to run along side these to get the most accurate weather into X Plane? I'm trying to get the weather to ...
