Where is MEPTE
How can I find out where the FAA thinks MEPTE is? On the NOS IFR charts
it's charted as in the water (or over it), but when I fly it, it's over land. I know the NOS charts are not all that accurate (for topography) but I'd like to know where it is, for a certification flight for our GPS. Any ideas?

I know it is not official, but Airnav's airspace/fix tab, which supposedly pulls right from a current FAA nav database, shows MEPTE as 41-20-09.900N 073-57-50.100W. http://www.airnav.com/airspace/fix/MEPTE Again, not official but perhaps a starting point. -- Peter |

According to FAA Order 7350.7 the FAA thinks MEPTE is found at 41-20-09.9000N 073-57-50.1000W. Looks like land to me. http://mapper.acme.com/?lat=44.44416...ht=2&dot =Yes |

Unfortunately I couldn't use it, because the West Point restricted area was hot. We just got a new 430W upgrade I was checking out, and a few days ago when flying the GPS34 into SWF, I lost complete GPS coverage on both attempts. Both times while over the (not hot) restricted area. I wanted to try it again today, but no dice. I did some other approaches and they worked out fine though. Any idea what might cause such a LOS?

Apparantly, like a few other google maps apps, the URL defaults, no matter what, to some predetermined point. Jose -- There are two kinds of people in the world.
