    missed approach without holding pattern?

    Oh, and of course if the front range is down, it's usually good to the west and GJT is usually a good alternate. But, I wasn't looking for the local Wx knowledge now, was I?? I knew it was coming and I tried everything to isolate the decision process about lost comm on a miss. That...

    missed approach without holding pattern?

    Obviously, you people don't spend much time in sims. If you do, do you argue every hypothetical scenario with the instructor? Geez Most of you never bothered to look back through the thread. I merely passed along what I do and then, I was jumped on. Take everything you read on these...

    ILS intercept preferences

    Ron, I'm surprised you didn't say that the reason for the 10 mile GS limit is because the FAA thinks all pilots are idiots and they're too stupid to intercept beyond that. You know, like with your fuel analogy. :wink2:

    ILS intercept preferences

    Keep in mind the glide slope has a 10 mile usable distance limitation from the transmitter unless there's a lower flight check limitation.

    missed approach without holding pattern?

    I never once said you had to land at your alternate. Many times I said land as soon as possible and cancel. I guess a lot of the problem is actually read the posts, eh? Yes, there are weekend warriors here pretending to be pros. You can just tell...

    And, I didn't call everyone here a weekend warrior trying to act like a pro. Just a couple of them. You were not one of them.

    Operation Butt Freeze

    Yes, two more now. Three total. Easy to get to from APA. The one that you went to is #2 and it's still there south of downtown. My wife and I go once a week to get a fix. Dang, I'm drooling now..

    missed approach without holding pattern?

    Ooops one more thing.. First, you said you would go "really high" Then, you said you wouldn't waste time down low looking for airports. Now, you're saying you could fly at 16,000 and not hit anything.. Hmmm sounds like flying at near the MEA to me.. :mad2:

    missed approach without holding pattern?

    There's a whole big mountain range between EGE and Gunny. And, of course, the mountains play a HUGE part in, well, um, mountain weather. EGE could be down and on the other side of the range, clear. Ever hear of upslope?? It doesn't just happen on the front range, ya know... I know you are...

    missed approach without holding pattern?

    I said better Wx to the south. ASE and GUC are to the south. My point is, if you're up in the flight levels you're shutting down airspace for hundreds of miles when maybe you'll to find something suitable lower and closer. Protected on an airway with VOR's for approaches, etc. According to the...

    missed approach without holding pattern?

    Also, you fly over ASE and GUC on the way to DRO. It would be a shame if one of those was open and you didn't go for it. You're required to land ASAP when safe and suitable and cancel. But hey, that's just ME...

    missed approach without holding pattern?

    Get where faster?? To the closest suitable airport?? Not from FL380.:yikes: Another advantage of being on the airway is you can descend as you move away from higher terrain. You can drop down to the MEA's or MOCA's and know you're not going to hit anything. Plus, you increase your chances of...

    Scratch the VFR part. It doesn't have to be VFR. I started another sentence with the in and forgot to delete it.

    missed approach without holding pattern?

    You're lost comm and you're supposed to land ASAP. Going "real high" doesn't allow you to get to the closest, suitable VFR airport. I would fly the airways toward my alternate and stay at the MEA's, if possible (depends on ice, etc) Lots of airports under or near airways. I have a better a...

    If you don't know what to do, that's an acceptable answer.
