Next question:
Where?

Good one Pyro! Lots of clues for the punters there.

A piece of sky somewhere?

Doc,

How about my answer in post #4118 above?

Quote:
Where?
Enroute to or from YCAB, WRT the PBY Catalina.

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Enroute to or from YCAB, WRT the PBY Catalina

ABX, yes you are correct - enroute from YCAB to somewhere! Pretty amazing how you figured that out from Pyro's post !!

Sorry - don't understand the "WRT" bit!

Dr

[ABX]

WRT = With Regard To.

I knew Chuck, Jaba and yourself had been to see the Catalina. Even saw the footage Jaba shot on YouTube.

Just put 2 and 2 together and made... 3.5?

Cheers.

Its like one of those extended problems, there are plenty of clues on the net to know where we were at the time... Just gotta look!

Clue: Youtube!

Some more for the homesick Kiwi's... Unfortunately, I am unable to claim them as mine... they were taking by a clubmember flying to Napier via Taupo and National Park...

The near-perfect cone of Ngauruhoe


9500' (or 9420' to be precise)... not too bad for a PA28


Ruapehu


Crater Lake... Anyone for a swim?

Compass?

What does that GPS do to the compass?

[Stormynights]

got a GPS dont need a compass ...lol
if certified wont affect it

[compressor stall]

What, where, and what two things are unusual....?

(My Facebook friends are excluded from answering ) )

[Lasiorhinus]

Your compass is in degrees true.

You have a slight nose-high attitude and a slight rate of descent.

[compressor stall]

Yes, degrees true is one answer.... so it should help you answer where ... ?

The nose high and slight descent is probably very light chop causing that instantaneous reading - not what I was after.

And what else is odd....?

[Lasiorhinus]

On second thoughts, because you fly in Penguinistan, its actually not unusual at all for you to be reading degrees true.

The other odd thing is you appear to be in range of a VOR over there...

[compressor stall]

Very good Lasiorhinus, top of the class, but before you walk up the aisle there, what is ZPG...?

[kingRB]

hmmm, LAVIS = S 76 11 01.8, E 165 51 24.3





Any fotos outside the flight deck windows while you down that neck of the woods?

[Lasiorhinus]

Lemme guess...

Its a TACAN.

[compressor stall]

All too easy . I might have to make it harder next time.

While I think of something, here's something for your enjoyment.

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Stallie, do you have VASI, PAPI or the like onto that runway?

[Peter Fanelli]

Looks a bit like landing at Alton Downs

[VH-XXX]

"What does that GPS do to the compass?"

Easy! It supersedes it...
