Re: Cessna 172 cuts off Lear 60 at YQA Muskoka . . on purpose .

YQA is a strange place for us ATC because of freq coverage. IFR a/c in decent will be lost on atc freq because it is based in YYZ. Traffic or weather depending, the a/c cannot necessarily request or get the visual from us. I would say the split is 60/40 whether the a/c goes over to the MF with the ...

Re: Cleared the Approach?

The approach name has to be issued as published, whether it's in the CAP or company approach plates. If the glidepath is down, the aircraft is still "cleared ILS RWY 29 Approach, glidepath unserviceable".

My vote is Wolf Blass Yellow Label's Cab. Sav (South Austrailia) or Lindemans Bin 40 Merlot (from S.A. as well I think) both are great bottles that will run you around $15. Also an Ernest and Julio Gallo Zinfandel is always a good inexpensive choice. Cheers If you like the Yellow Label, try McWilli...
