Re: Markham Airport . . . Buttonvilles replacement???

Looks like you could squeeze in a 6,000' east-west strip if the green field on the east side is part of the property.

That was always part of my engine failure flow in the Cherokees, along with simply looking at the fuel gauges. It had to have been something more than that.

Re: Mountain city aviation

I'm sure he appreciates what you're implying in your post. Have you flown with him or taken lessons from him? I'm guessing, no.

Keep in mind some guys are better pilots and teachers at 900 hours than some guys with three times that amount of time.

Engaged with a 'normal' job, got tossed by her a year into working as an instructor. Been 10 years and 4 serious girlfriends later, all of them thinking I'm nuts. Doubt I'll ever get married while working as a pilot and I'm cool with that.

I always thought it was funny to see YYZ in a clearance.

Re: How would you route IFR from CYKZ to CYHM? No pref. rout

If there's a decent chance you won't get in at CYHM, use CYYZ as the alternate, simply because there's an ILS to every runway unlike CYKF.

I was trying to stay away from pure GPS routing, just in case of a failure, but of course around here there is always vectoring anyways. I always thought it was funny to see YYZ in a clearance.
