The Treki's Have Arrived

Featured Replies

Next cycle we will have an RNAV overlay on the JVL arrival which will be named BULLZ1. On the inbound after COGSS the new waypoints are TREKI SOOLU KURKK and VULCN.Someone at the FAA has a sense of humor. Thank goodness.

FAA does this all the time, it's pretty funny - there's a lot of fixes in the Phoenix area named after the city's sports teams, famous players on the teams etc.

There's a intersection over Charles Schultz's house called "SNUPY", near KSTS.

I'm sure you have seen this one - It's the GPS (RNAV) 16 into Portsmouth, NH (KPSM). The approach goes ITAWT-> ITAWA-> PUDYE-> TTAAT->IDIID I used to love those Tweety and Sylvester cartoons :).

I believe it's since been changed but KATL used to have YABBA DABBA DOOOH on approach to 27L (I think it was 27L). I was a huge Scooby Doo fan growing up so I've always loved that one.

DOH! :( I meant to say Flintstones. I think "DOOOH" got into my head and made me think of Scooby. :(

My first post yay!I've seen the same type of silliness here in Palm Beach, FL at KPBI. Two of the new Standard Departures are related to Florida and Palm Beach themes.BUFIT 1 Departure Mainly the RNAV waypoints "JIMMI" and "BUFIT" (I'm sure there are more references but I can't figure them out) andIVNKA 1 Departure with "UFIRD" "DONLD" "TRMMP" "IVNKA" and "AMNDA" and I think "CRYER" (not sure).When I first saw the new Cycle info for KPBI I giggled madly for a while after seeing that. I'm sure there are others in the "LMORE1" "MIXAE1" and "TBIRD1" departures but I can't find 'em.The others that have been mentioned are priceless, I haven't laughed that loud reading fix names in a long time. :(

A while back I worked with a retired senior controller from NY TRACON. He in fact named many of the intersections in and around NYC. They were named for members of his and other controllers families and things like APPLE, GRITY, EMPYR, etc.
