Unique Waypoint Names

[AK737pilot]

The guys who put the RNAV M 26 into Kodiak had a good time with naming the fixes on the missed approach...

Not in my Jepps for Alaska.

I thought the missed waypoints there were NEVAH, GONNA and GVUUP

Just recently ran across DONGS while searching for something else. My inner 12 year old giggled (and shared on chat).

"Approach, Cessna 420MJ holding DONGS."

Wow, that’s some kind of terrain, on the missed approach. I’m surprised that got into an approach.

Where do you find that approach? I don’t see it in the government plates on Foreflight orAirnav.

 

[AK737pilot]

It’s a special Alaska Airlines RNAV RNP approach.

They exist: http://www.airnav.com/airspace/fix/PUUKE "Special IAP"??? The AirNav entry for Kodiak shows the procedure has changed, so maybe this is the old?

(Too slow - thanks AK737pilot )

It’s a special Alaska Airlines RNAV RNO approach.

Proprietary approach so, yes, I can see them having fun with the waypoints.

Standard or nonstandard turns

Years ago up around JFK there were three right near each other...PORKK, FLIED, RICED. They took them down because they became non-PC. One of the pilots I werked with in the 90's pointed out that ATC was assigning a fix off LGA and TEB? that was not easily referenced. As a cure the FAA named it HINES after him. There was and a lot of fixes with funny names. There are a bunch of old funny named fixes that aren't around anymore.

The "SATAN" IAF fits the theme as well. "Satan's Waitin'" (1954) was one of the most popular of the Tweety & Sylvester cartoons.

Nice catch.

Flew outa Orlando for a couple months years ago and I definetly remember the Pig arrival, as well as the others you mentioned.

I like the WLEEE arrival into Austin, specifically the WEEED fix.

A bunch of good ones in there. I like MNURE.

I bet all of them have some significance even though I can't figure them all out.

WAILN as in wailing music or Waylon Jennings. Of course MUSEK. DBOYS.

I’m pretty sure @SixPapaCharlie named the next two waypoints:

 

[bflynn]

Nice thing about the piglet arrivals that almost everyone knows how to pronounce the waypoint names.

No waypoints labelled "GLOOM" "DESPR" and "AGONY"? Sigh.

 

[Pilawt]

No waypoints labelled "GLOOM" "DESPR" and "AGONY"? Sigh.

No waypoints named 'CRASH', but there is a J-route intersection in Wisconsin named 'AUGER'.

You forgot “ DVORE”.

 

[EppyGA]

Lots of good names around Atlanta and Charlotte

 

[azure]

Around Detroit and Cleveland too... lots of astronomy-themed names like SSUNN, MOONN, MAARS, GEMNI, LLEEO, even AZTRO... and for hockey fans, there's one named HHOWE.

There used to be some football-themed ones around there, geared toward U of M I think... but I don't see them there any more.

A couple more from my last trip...

I crossed UNBLE as a FAF the other day.

 

[Zeldman]

Cessna 8675 report passing the initial approach fix.

Approach, Cessna 8675 is passing GGASS...

 

[iamtheari]

I crossed UNBLE as a FAF the other day.

"Cleared direct UNBLE when able."
"Unable direct UNBLE. What's the vector, victor?"

 

[aterpster]

"Cleared direct UNBLE when able."
"Unable direct UNBLE. What's the vector, victor?"

"Standby for a vector to Hector."

 

[davidgfern]

I think at Caldwell, NJ there are two waypoints, BADDA, BING.
