Cincinnati Blueash Airport scenery uploaded

[Guest Bart]

Just sent this one off to the server. This is my home airport in Cincinnati, Ohio. With the other 4 airports I have uploaded you can plan a nice little airport hopping VFR trip. One that I like to fly sometimes is to take off from ISZ and head 270, in 18 miles you'll see Miami Whitewater lake under you, Cincinnati West (I67) is about 3 miles west of the lake. From there tune 260 on the ADF and head for the Hamilton NDB...once at the NDB turn 110 for an NBD approach into Hamilton-Fairfield (HAO). Do a bump and slam (not much to see at HAO) and tune 239 on the ADF, (HOOK NDB), when at the NDB turn 058 for an NBD approach into Middletown-Hook Field (working on this one now), you can also tune 111.10 for an ILS approach to runway 23, taxi all the way to the 23 end of the field and park by the old Aeronca factory and get a Hot Fudge cake at Frisch's!!. When you leave Hook field head out at about 062, Dayton-Wright Brothers (MGY) is only about a 10 minute flight from there. Tune your NAV1 to (DQN 114.50) and set the OBS to 157 FROM, that's the radial MGY lays on from Dayton VOR at 26 miles, if you don't have DME for a cross check you can tune to Wright Field (FFO 115.20) 214 degrees FROM. Tune 109.50 for the ILS approach into MGY, runway 20.Just remember, if you cross the 157 radial from DQN you went to far!!. If it's open at MGY stop in and see the Wright Flyer, they fly it at the Dayton Airshow every year and love to give visitors a tour of it in the hangar at MGY. Take off from MGY and tune the ADF to 388 (ISZ) and ride the wave down I-75 back to Blueash. After you take off from MGY keep looking to your left, Ceasar Creek Lake will be about 10 miles away.Here are the others I have uploaded, should have Hook and Lebanon Warren loaded up later today. I'll post an interesteng story when I upload Lebanon-Warren, about a 172 and a Buick!! I'll find the NTSB report for it :)Other Airports Uploaded:Dayton-Wright Brothers (MGY)Bolton Field (TZR)Cincinnati West (I67)Hamilton-Fairfield (HAO)c ya :-waveBart flyhelp@zoomtown.comhttp://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/pics/ryans...ight/flight.gif http://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/bart_logo3.jpg

Lebanon-warren County (I68) is off to the server. Here is a little story of N733LK, I flew this plane when I was in training for my PPL, ONLY because I had to to get the hours in. The pilots door stays a little ajar, it flies sideways and if it didn't have a GPS you'd HAVE to rely on pilotage alone, the nav electronics are the kind you have to be directly over the VOR for the needle to move!! Here's the NTSB report about a lil C172 and a Buick, it's a long read but worth it:On August 1, 1998, at 1040 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 172N, N733LK, was substantially damaged when it collided with an automobile during an aborted landing at the Brownies Lebanon Airport (19I), Lebanon, Ohio. The certificated flight instructor, student pilot, and the driver of the automobile were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the instructional flight that originated at Blue Ash (ISZ), Ohio, at 1000. No flight plan was filed for the flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91.In two written statements, the flight instructor stated the purpose of the flight was to provide dual instruction to one of his students. After several practice maneuvers and a recovery from a simulated engine failure, the student pilot asked the instructor to demonstrate a sod field landing. The instructor set up for an approach and landing to the west at 19I. The sod runway was approximately parallel to runway 27. Both the sod and paved runways joined at the western ends. The flight instructor stated:"Since we were only a few miles from Brownies (19I), I told him I would show him on the grass field over there. I started a short, soft field approach with full flaps at 60 kts. I would estimate my point of touchdown at 50 ft from the start of the runway. As we attempted to slow down for a full stop the plane started to slide. At that point (about 120 ft from touchdown) I decided to do a go around and try again. I applied full power, took off the carb heat and attempted to raise the flaps. As I glanced in at the Airspeed I noticed it was not climbing like it should, only to realize the flaps did not retract. I tapped the brakes to see if stopping would be possible. We again just slid, but at this point the flaps began to retract, causing a sudden loss of lift. I now was at the tall grass at the end, and it further impeded my attempts to gain airspeed. I approached the end of the runway and was still [too] slow to sustain flight. As the ditch, fence, and road approached I attempted to "pop" the plane up to avoid hitting the ditch and cartwheeling into the fence or road. I cleared the ditch and fence, but was forced to lower the pitch to avoid losing directional control of the aircraft from a full stall. As the plane settled downward, it struck the roof of a passing car...Due to the extra drag from the grass and hesitation in the flaps, I was unable to gain enough airspeed for flight". The student pilot said:"I requested that the instructor land on the grass runway so that I would know what grass field landings would be like in an emergency. The instructor was in full control of the aircraft. Descent was with full flaps, idle power requiring little rudder adjustment. Landing was soft on the grass at approximately the normal point for runway numbering (Say it would be about 30 feet from the runway edge). Upon braking, the aircraft seemed to slide, as if it were on ice. The instructor determined to take off. He proceeded to place carburetor heat off, full throttle, and flaps up. The aircraft seemed sluggish, possibly even slowed or dragging. The aircraft once airborne, passed over a barbed wire fence at the end of the runway. At that point I heard the stall warning. The instructor pitched the nose down. The aircraft descended slightly and hit the roof of a Buick, gained some altitude, passing beyond the second lane of traffic and another barbed wire fence, landing in a field avoiding several trees".In a written statement, a pilot who had flown N733LK approximately one month prior to the accident stated that the flaps failed to retract from the 40 degree position while he performed a touch-and-go. He said, "The flaps on N733LK on touch and go stuck down...at 40 degrees around the dates of June 1-June 30 [1998]."In a telephone interview, a Federal Aviation Administration Aviation (FAA) Safety Inspector stated the mechanic who recovered N733LK cycled the flaps through the full range several times. The mechanic stated the flaps deployed and retracted with no malfunctions noted.In a telephone interview, the flight instructor stated the flaps on another Cessna 172 in the operator's fleet failed to retract on a recent flight. He said, "The same thing happened on July 2, 1998." The flight instructor stated he remembered the airplane's registration number and verified the date with the maintenance records.On August 6, 1998, an FAA Inspector examined the flap operation of two Cessna 172's in the operator's fleet. According to a written statement:"Aircraft were checked by [inspector]...both were good. One aircraft was in for maintenance while he was there and they checked the flaps with a protractor, and the cable tensions, all to [specification]. The switches were all clean and no problems found there. The maintenance for these aircraft are on the Cessna Maintenance Program."In a telephone interview, the owner/operator said repairs were completed and N733LK was placed back in service on October 22, 1998, at 4,609 aircraft hours. Maintenance entries reflected repairs to aircraft structure and skin. No repairs were made to the flaps or the flap actuating system. An annual inspection was completed on the airplane at 4,621 aircraft hours and an engine change was performed at 4,684 aircraft hours. The owner/operator said that from the time of the repairs to the time of the interview, no problems had been noted in the performance or handling of N733LK. At the time of the accident, weather reported at the Cincinnati Municipal Airport (Lunken Field) was: clear skies with winds from 080 degrees at 7 knots. The temperature was 74 degrees and the dewpoint was 54 degrees.The flight instructor reported 390 hours of total flight experience of which 194 were in make and model. He also reported 98 hours of experience as a flight instructor of which 84 hours were in make and model.c ya :-waveBart flyhelp@zoomtown.comhttp://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/pics/ryans...ight/flight.gif http://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/bart_logo3.jpg

Thanks for loading these up Bart, and thanks for the flight info and the great Buick story - interesting that the student would remember, in the midst of what was happening, exactly what the make of the car was?!Don't forget folks - if you want to follow all of those landmarks Bart was talking about, you'll need to download the Dayton and Cinicinnati global tile TS projects of the Ohio Project package and render the tiles!

is hearing the student pulling the rip cord and yelling GERONIMO during the bail out!!"The instructor was in full control of the aircraft"c ya :-waveBart flyhelp@zoomtown.comhttp://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/pics/ryans...ight/flight.gif http://bartsflyplace.tripod.com/bart_logo3.jpg
