B350 FIY Mildura

[seeyounexttime]

Howdy, does anyone know why B350 VH-FIY has been flying perfect circles around 10 nm around MIA 3,000' g/s 150kts all day??

Very unusual.....

Cheers

VH-FIY = Beech 300 King Air, Pearl Aviation

IATA Code MIA = Miami International Airport

Navaid calibration and/or approach obstacle clearances

Very normal...

IATA?!? Try ICAO and ERSA dear boy! How's your Morse?

MIA - Probably means Murray Irrigation Area

I thought MIA was Missing In Action......

He was in a holding pattern awaiting QF & V to land due fog

Will we be able to receive ATIS on this one - before getting into the CTR?

Seagull V,

I think that "MIA" is actually the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area centred upon Griffith.

The navaids that have been selected to remain as part of the backup navaid network are being upgraded if it is required. Mildura is on the list to be retained....hence it has been upgraded, and moved a little bit.
