There's a little park and fishing pier. I used to go there a lot when I lived on the east coast.

Anyway, we wouldn't be at Venr in the initial climb, we'd be at V2 which is about 120 knots (depending on weight), so our required climb initially would be about 640fpm. <br /><br />Now to load up our homeowners policy and see what our deductible is, oh boy.Sulakohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531849526542668092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837202.post-48292210622070505792011-03-09T18:16:34.394-05:002011-03-09T18:16:34.394-05:00That depends on our airspeed.

Our single-engine Venr is about 160 knots (depending on weight), so we are looking at about 853 fpm rate of climb required to 600', when the climb rate returns to 200' per nautical mile, which works out to 533 fpm rate of climb required until we reach our MEA or MOCA. I'll do up a post with more details on that stuff soon, I realize I haven't covered that stuff before.Sulakohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531849526542668092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837202.post-47592671203969796912011-03-09T18:03:17.570-05:002011-03-09T18:03:17.570-05:00In still air what ROC is required to achieve 320ft...In still air what ROC is required to achieve 320ft per mile?Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16571759509920722235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837202.post-58413881775254377922011-03-09T16:24:48.285-05:002011-03-09T16:24:48.285-05:00I'm gonna update my post with some of this con...I'm gonna update my post with some of this content, but here you go:<br /><br />Yup, the approach is hand-flown. Kitsch flew the approach, I played on the radios. <br /><br />The VASIS lights are now PAPI lights. They are used when flying the visual approach - an ILS approach may have a slightly different touchdown point on the runway, leading to the color discrepancy. <br /><br />In this case, the lights were white-over-red until decision height at 200', when Kitsch chose to go under the slope in order to touch down quickly and turn off a nearby runway exit. The threshold was displaced and the weather was good, so the likelihood of landing short was negligible.<br /><br />As far as the cranes - they are maybe 50 - 70' above the water, and maybe 1 1/2 miles from the threshold - you can hear the radar altimeter lady say "500" as we are passing them, so she's telling us we are 500' above the ground at the time. If you are low enough to hit the cranes at 1 1/2 miles back, you have bigger problems than the cranes, like hitting the water. If you stay on the correct slope, you will have plenty of vertical clearance over them - at a 3 degree glideslope, you will be 300' above the runway for every mile back you are.Sulakohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531849526542668092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837202.post-47475877999228022922011-03-09T14:18:23.138-05:002011-03-09T14:18:23.138-05:00Good video.

I did not even see any lights on them.<br />3. On the VASI lights... isn't it "red-on-white" for the glideslope? They looked all red to me.<br /><br />Thanks!whywhyzedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00850028314566075942noreply@blogger.com
