I agree! One day the airlines/FAA will wise up to synthetic vision and let them be put into airliners.

It's technically is only s situational tool and not supposed to be used for navigation, but it can definitely be used to get you out of a pinch in places that you're unfamiliar.

Some time ago during a recurrent in the sim after all of the "serious" portion of a particular finished, I played around with an approach into Aspen. Rather than fly the published missed. I flew up the valley and to far end of the runway. I did a slight right turn to get a bit if space and then a hard left turn all the way around all by reference to synthetic vision. It is a very good tool for situational awareness.

…yeah.
Mt Diablo is not SLC either guys…
Think this is quite the overreaction to a problem that never even came up…

I miss my synthetic vision. Other than a few months before we got it in the Lears, the 73 is the first thing I’ve flown in like 12 years that didn’t have it. Oh and BTW for @ppragman and @Capt. Chaos the Chelton is still the best for hand flying and avoiding terrain that I’ve used.
The degree of fidelity the current systems have, such as our G500H in our birds. In both terrain as well as obstructions, is very impressive. Am wondering if we will get to the point where a synthetic vision equipped aircraft will no longer have to fly a missed approach for visibility when the pilot has visual with the runway in the synthetic. Right now, can continue to 100 above the TDZE, but must fly natural vision from there. Be cool to be able to take it to the runway itself.
The point brought up was, “are you terrain aware when working an EP?” My answer was, you’d better be. Not by name necessarily, but by general geography. But it seems that was being taken into account. So, good. Either way, it’s all cleared up.
My knowledge of Mt. Diablo and SUNOL is because I used to instruct out there.
But someone has to recognize the need to have terrain up when drilling around at night working on a problem.
This could have easily been this generation’s “Eastern 401” where a very minor problem became a, well, appreciably bigger one.

I’ll be on a 24 hr IND layover tomorrow night, let’s make it a date

I enjoyed the IND overnights when we had them.

What’s to do? I didn’t see compelling options for museums, though I haven’t looked for disc golf yet

I found some good food. Still has the omelette I have ever had, and I enjoy walking around and looking at the buildings.

It does look like there is disc golf accessible via a bus. Might be worth it
Could go to the small town of Speedway, to the Indy 500 museum at the raceway. If Indy car is of any interest.

No. Just use common sense about the geographic area I’m in to request a safe altitude.
Didn’t ‘Arithmetic for Naval Aviators’ teach you Delta guys that?
