Airienteering with 13MIKE

by Fred J. Calfior and Douglas W. Miller

AirLeg 93

1) Turn to a heading of “010”

“If you look at Oakland's VORTAC box, and compare it to San Francisco's VOR DME box or Sausalito 's VORTAC box, you'll notice that it is much more heavily lined than the other two. Dost thou knoweth what it meaneth noweth, or notteth? The heavily lined box means that at that airport, there is a Flight Service Station on board. So you can walk in and get a face to face weather brief, which is incredible fun! Fm serious, it is!!”

2) On the “VASI” landing system, red over red means:

If your answer is “you are too low”, go to AirLeg 45

If your answer is “you are too high”, go to AirLeg 80
