"McGregor" wrote in message ink.net... Uh... What the hell is an SDF? I don't think I have one in my plane. If you did, you'd probably be overgross. I hope you don't have a VOR either, that giant bowling pin takes up a lot of space in the baggage compartment. |

nk.net... Uh... What the hell is an SDF? I don't think I have one in my plane. I'll bet you don't have a localizer in your plane either, or an NDB or a VOR. An SDF is a Simplified Directional Facility, it's similar to a localizer. You'll find a description in the AIM. Well, you're right. I've got a KX155, a KNS80 and an M3 GPS. Are SDFs more prevelant out East? I've flown an LDA, but never an SDF. |

Although controllers will often grant requests from pilots to shortcut SIAP's, that does not necessarily make the granted shortcut legal. yeah, but since we're both in on it, who's going to tell? |

The NTSB, when it turns out that the unsurveyed shortcut result in a CFIT accident. Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) |

"McGregor" wrote in message ink.net... Are SDFs more prevelant out East? Don't know. What do you consider "out East"? I'm in Green Bay, and just off the top of my head I'm aware of SDF approaches in Sturgeon Bay, Fond du Lac, and Wisconsin Rapids. |
