KEUG-KSBP Part 2 (Velocity XL)

Thought you might want to catch the approach and landing of the Velocity XL in San Luis Obispo, CA 

I'm somewhere in the middle of my voyage here still up at FL250 (likely in between Red Bluff and Sacramento)

GTN confirms we're just passing KSMF

We got our VNAV going (blue arc on the GTN - correlates with the selected altitude on the G3X)

Picking up the low alt rnav route T257 here which brings us slightly out over the Pacific Ocean just beyond MRY

Also picked up a tailwind on descent which I wasn't planning for... increased my ground speed to over 250 knots!  I've also loaded up the RNAV 11 (my idea is to circle to land)

There are no speed brakes or flaps - so I really had to work hard to slow down without shock cooling the turbochargers...  you can see the LPV glide path coming down (but we're going to circling mins)

Dropping gear which helps us slow a little...

Just beyond my left wheel is a fun airport, Oceano L52

A bit high but we have plenty of runway
