available on flight service frequency advise on initial contact you have Charlie okay so let's put the flight plan in I have filed from KCI to [Music] KSTP via the t-wolf for arrival and it doesn't give me the t-wolf transition so I'm going to load it with AOG and then go direct t-wolf make sure this matches here yeah we saw Cedar Rapids direct t-wolf and then the uh way points 2K STP so that all looks good all right time for the clearance see was clearance good morning answer 7 Z tangle Bravo IFR to S Paul downtown ra to copy men 70 Tango Bravo City Rapid clearance delivery Clear to St

normal takeoff Runway 27 here at Cedar Rapids um the wind is light your ceilings about 800 broken, 1500 overcast and it could be as low as 500 from uh what the Aus said uh so be ready for transitioning to instruments follow the flight director here to climb away from uh Earth um after that's my local ATC Jason hi Jason thank you you after the airports uh behind us if there's an engine failure the wind is very light so really any suitable surface in front of the airplane is uh workable only if I can turn it into the wind going to the Northwest would be good and uh we'll play The Rest by is na setup I'm direct t-wolf t-wolf here for the arrival I'm now going to to my map page and as we can see here the precept is all south of us so that should not be a problem icing shouldn't be a problem it's comfortably above freezing all right and with that ready for departure switching to Tower got Tower here departure there go around go around n z Tango Bravo if you would monitor the

t-wolf 4 uh laterally speaking we're on the way to t-wolf here and then it'll be kg links cuy kg links oh Target in between cuy and then destination so that all looks good uh we have the adus here transition level doesn't apply to me DM required I mean that through uh GPS and it also serves some of airports from t-wolf coming in I can see here some altitude constraints at Target and cue uh so if and only if I'm asked to descend via the arrival that means I have to honor those uh those vertical constraints at Target and cue we'll see if we get that on off um I have not flown a Minneapolis recently uh and and not a whole lot to be honest so I don't know if on on this particular arrival they actually keep me on the arrival or vector me off of it uh from from far out we we'll see current weather wind light wind from the north ceiling 700t overcast nice IFR practice weather uh 10 m visibility so good visibility under the low overcast and uh ultimately not much change from here so that might mean a Runway 32 see we get a little closer I know from uh memory the next frequency is 27.3 that's going to be miniapolis Center we're going to fly pretty much over Mason City home of the famous third Thursday barbecue every third Thursday of the month year round Rainer shine Mason City iio is the place to be uh Grill start at 6 bring something for the grill for yourself and maybe a side dish to share if you can uh dog rosenal is hosting that at his hanger and it's always fun carer 722 43 change Vis your frequency approved you can contact me on this frequency after completion of the approach and I'm setting up my number two Comm here for the guard frequency 1215 monitoring that now I did see and the nms that uh Runway 1432 is closed however that is effective uh later tonight not not yet might be a problem tomorrow same with the ILS for 14 and 32 that's not yet effective see some changes in the clouds coming up here in a few miles uh or leaving leav pretty much a uh a solid Stratus deck behind us and then more low cumulus uh deck going forward and if I look at the XM here there's a stationary front that we're crossing in in just a few miles it's not always completely predictable what's going to happen at these fronts right but being able to uh correlate the change and and the the weather and cloud formations with the depicted fronts here in the surface analysis chart is is nice not familiar with the St Paul Airport last time I was there was 20 years or so ago uh fbos are signature PA flight centerity St Paul flight center is closer to an onfield restaurant proceed direct that F and are you looking to be at 4 or 6,000 for your cruise now pick St Paul flight center sdfb today and that's the one here in the Northwest the the restaurant is here where it says G transient ramp but I I will need fuel as well so plan is to park at the FBO and then walk over to the restaurant all right want to do what I want to do next is look at the available approaches for Runway 32 32 [Music] for that approach 307 AG service and 32 me let's look at the RF 32 sometimes you have different visibilities slightly higher slightly higher minimums any one mile visibility as opposed to oh no that's the same so uh with the weather today either one should work uh and maybe I'll pick the ILS today so I don't get too rusty on Switching na sources okay right now we're talking to 27.3 that's the Mason City sector going further north it might be the Rochester sector 13 2.35 uh but it might also be Rochester [Music] approach but 70 T Bravo any chance for direct Kg on the arrival 70 tle Bravo [Music] standby 70 Tango Bravo would you like to ex PA Airport is a 7 Z Tango Bravo yeah if that works I'll take that 7 Z Tango Bravo clear direct direct thank you okay estimate destination [Music] 4526 almost 5 minutes lighing this the Mason City Airport this will be a good time to uh switch [Music] tanks uh it is low IFR but it's an airport familiar with I'm pretty much on Final Runway 3 at city and I'll switch to the right tank fuel pressure stable 70 Tango contact Rochester approach 11 Niner point8 Rochester 1 Niner point8 Bravo thanks for the help today have

man 183 thanks [Music] 6 90 mil hour we can try to get the [Music] adus yeah very hard to understand yet but uh I heard Runway 32 in there well let me review this chart here it's s Paul Minnesota ILS Runway 3 to the Adis uh I have tuned approach I'm a little too far out at 121.2 that'll be the Final Approach control to 191 and ground 2167 uh localizer India Bravo Alpha Oscar the M 10 1.5 with the Final Approach course of 326 flight slope intercept at raldi at 2500 and the decision altitude is 101 set the minimum here to [Music] and 20 round it up to the nearest T and that's about 3 uh 10 ft above ground the M approach uh publish Miss approach climb to, 1300 then the climbing right turn to 4,000 heading 010 uh on some radio of the V to whisk intersection so the GPS will guide me there uh laterally it's very easy it's going to be a vectus to final I'm coming from the south so I'll get radar vectus to intercept the localizer uh 2500 to intercept and then uh down to minimums 101 uh that's 1020 here should the Glide slope fail then I can run this as localizer but my minimum goes up by 200 ft to 1220 oh we saw earlier 10 miles visibility under the clouds so meeting the one mile visibility here or the rvr is not going to be a problem today and we have just crossed the Iowa Minnesota whiske 3.3 climb on Runway heading to 4,000 we the Miss 3 26 Echo whiskey Rochester departure
