Hey Mike, thanks for trying to keep the signal to noise ratio on the signal side. (I know it is hard because I got sucked into a side comment earlier in this very thread.) The clearance, as I remember it is as in the thread title, direct GORDE then cleared for the ILS 13, Greg County (GGG)...

Nice setup, beats my little Rebel Ti hands down. Unfortunately for me, the Ti in auto mode still takes better pictures than I do. :) Carl

I think you nailed it. First actual instrument in quite a while without an instructor or safety aboard and not getting the call I expected. Reading all the answers has helped me get a handle on this particular scenario.

Considering I was paying $149 for Geo-referenced ForeFlight (50 states) last year I guess reasonable is relative.

Ach! I see it now, thanks. GORDE is an (IF) not an (IAF) and that explains why It did not show up when trying to load the ILS procedure. I did use D>, GORDE, Enter, Enter. Where I failed was then trying to reload the approach. I think I should have used FPL and entered it before the ILS...

When/if you start taking names again, please consider putting mine down. I base out of KGKY north of you and can make overnight plans so either evening or morning sorties would work. What type of kit are you using? Carl
