All,

Airport: KFZY

Date: Saturday 28 July @ 11:00

Glenn (sierra0th) recommended a Fly-In to the Central NY region - and - Oswego Co near Fulton NY seems like an excellent candidate... It's located right on the shores of Lake Ontario - just north of Syracuse...

It has an on field restaurant named "Puddle Jumpers" to meet our needs...

OBTW; How do I remove that "THUMBS DOWN" symbol from my title ???

Regards,
Scott

Scott, do you know the reason for the displacement on 33? Can see alot of green back behind it, doesn't seem to be any obsructions.

Hi JB - I was only there once - a while ago - and - I was riding the back seat of a Commander 114... I didn't notice... I'll let you know when I find out though...

I believe the 33 threshold was displaced to allow category B, C, and D approach speeds for the ILS 33 approach. The GP angle is greater than 3 deg and the TCH on the original threshold was too high to allow anything faster than a category A approach speed ( less than 91 kts, as I recall). Categories B, C, and D were all labeled N/ A on previous approach plates. With the now displaced threshold, the TCH is lower for the same GP angle and the runway is still long enough to allow the higher approach categories.

I plan to be there, weather permitting.

Hi Ken,

Awesome... Weather forecast looks less than promising but hopefully we'll be able to make it... As always - I'll update this thread with go/no go status...

Regards,
Scott
 
The weather forecast looks good for Sunday. If it looks marginal on Saturday morning, I'm OK with a last minute re-schedule for Sunday AM. With the limited interest expressed so far, we could probably shift the date at the last minute and not really lose any attendees. Either way, I'm good. I only need about a 30 minute window to make it there. You guys coming from farther away will want to make the call. It will, of course, depend on your availability/interest for doing it on Sunday.

All,

Oswego's TAF's out for tomorrow at 11:00... Thunderstorms in the forecast - I'll post here if I'm going in the morning... I'm not 100% sure on Sunday yet... Ken - would you be able to make it if we tried Sunday for better weather ?

Regards,
Scott
 
Morn'n Folks,

Looks like I am going to pass on the trip today... Too much convective activity in the forecast... I'll keep an eye on the weather for tomorrow if anyone is interested...

Regards,
Scott
 
Got to fly for 1.6 in the aera. Tomorrow I have to work arond the house (it never ends) so tomorrow is out for me. hoping next weekend somewhere???ken
 
Hi Ken,

Glad you got up...

Hi Glenn,

It's' raining with some really low ceilings... While Oswego looks fine - my TAF has me in and out of marginal VFR and thunderstorms most of the day... If I do get to the airport and a window opens up - I probably won't go far...

We'll have to try again - sorry...
:(
