I think I found one. Gallup KGUP Loc Rwy 6 in the SW1 PTT. I don't think there are any others in SW1 (Colorado and NM) after a quick scan.

I am thinking these will not be on RNAV approaches, since those often have all sorts of curvy approaches to the FAF defined by waypoints.

I am looking for examples of instrument approaches in the mountain west which have a teardrop procedure turn. So no hold and no barb, instead the diagonal line and an arc. Anyone know of some?

I don't see any reason to believe that somehow government regulation is needed for an international market to expand. If there is an actual need, market forces will create a solution. In this case, for example, is it is likely that the possibility of being sued into oblivion would create private...

It is a very different perspective certainly. But a few things you raise I think are worth thinking more about. First is the idea that we can’t analyze this as a testing problem. Why? How could that possibly even be true? If the outcomes are defined, in this case, a bad part making it into an...

The 99% though raises I think the classic question regarding regulation. I don’t think I know how it plays out here but will raise the question anyway. Presumably the real objective with regulating this sort of thing is to improve the safety of flight and protect the flying public from a...

I wonder how serious or frequent an issue this. Scary as potentially catastrophic. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/06/counterfeit-chinese-titanium-discovered-some-boeing-jets-per/
