I'd think they'd have more trouble with Kelly Tower and Kelly Farm. :buck:

Maybe they should have used "Red Lobster." Have fun with that one!

Too bad no more Wauzaaaaaaaah... Why the change in the SE points? Truckstop and Carpet were they easiest to find out of the whole lot of reporting points IMO.

The reason for the new points was due to the new runway. Carpet would basically be right on base/final for 27L so they needed something further south. Goes the same with the SW entry points for 9R.

The problem lies if we are on 35's and you start your base from 'Powerplant' you will be in direct confict with any VOR approaches for 35L. So we are going to have to 'work' that one out with UND. Something like report 'Powerplant' but still enter base from Carpet. We'll see.....

your clearly an unsafe pilot. (I wanted to type it in all caps but it doesn't let me.)

i don't understand why puddle is so hard to find for some people. maybe it is because when i was a student i always went to the west, but even in the dead of winter during the night i can find puddle. moot point now as it is a conflict for the new runway.

Yea I never had trouble myself either. The way I taught my students how to find it if they had trouble was radial and distance. Now I tried to find puddle by car once...much much harder.

I think that's the active runway after sitting at the airport bar for a bit.
