It's 2022. No one should be flying IFR in a metro area, especially the DC area, unless they have IFR database RNAV. With database RNAV this SID is a no-brainer.

Of course.

Agree. Do it VFR for practice.

Here is a good one: VFR at 6,500. After GVO do the full approach VOR Rwy 8 at KIZA. You never have to talk to ATC. One VOR receiver, no DME. Ony comm: CTAF at departure and arrival: KOKB..OCN.V23.DANAH.V363.BAYJY.V186.RZS.V12.GVO..KIZA

I did it with one Mark II Omnigator. 27 transmitting crystals, whistle-stop comm receiver. VOR and LOC, no GS. No DME, no transponder. Hard IFR.

Tower enroute canned routes in Southern California are predicated solely on VOR. Great practice in flying with only one VOR receiver.

All the old CDIs (circa 1960) were pendulum. BTW, thanks for the way to express them.

When they started adding RVR at the major airports, I didn't have to miss so many nice layover bars. It's nice to stay routine.

Why? RVR requires HIRLs.

Aren't HIRLs along the runway?

RVR is not visibility. It is seeing conditions: How many HIRLs you will see as you touchdown.

Check the FAA approach charts. On an RVR runway the RVR controls. It's only when the RVR is inoperative that you use the RVR-to-feet table.

Get them from me. Or, make a FOIA and you might get them in 18 months. I have them back to 2007.

Also, no Jeppesen 10-9 page or any other Jeppesen pages for a VFR airport.

I recall Fallbrook (L18). I doubt there are any remaining. Fallbrook and Ramona both got IAPs.

There was a time, perhaps 15 or so, years ago that policy permitted an ODP (nee IFR departure procedure) at an airport without any IAPs.

This is really a mouthful: ALL USERS: Airports that have Departure Procedures (DPs) designed specifically to assist pilots in avoiding obstacles during the climb to the minimum enroute altitude, and/or airports that have civil IFR takeoff minimums other than standard, are listed below. Takeoff...

It gives me a headache. :eek:

"takeoff minimums other than standard."

I don't pretend to understand FAA charting. If I bring up F70, for example, it doesn't have that language.
