intercept.
Outside of a training environment, whilst
you should always monitor the radio facility
a hold is predicated on, you can put a direct
to the holding fix in the Garmin GPS and
OBS the inbound. This eliminates dip. It is
quite interesting to do this on a two needle
RMI and see the differences in real time.

journey home including some 2380 turbine oil, which is not easy to
come by in remote areas of the North Atlantic. We depart for Linden
Price airport, and start to load up.
The time had finally come to depart. The first leg is a relatively
short hop from Linden Price, just west of Detroit, to Burlington in
Vermont with a great circle distance of 460nm. Phil is going to fly
this leg with Travis P2. We say our goodbyes to our host, the crew
settle themselves down up front, and I make myself comfortable
in the back; it is very comfortable. We taxi out and then depart,
leaving Linden Price behind us for the last time. Despite being
substantially overweight, the Jetprop climbs steadily to our requested
cruise of FL270. Initially we talk to Detroit and then Toronto,
with me getting a great view of Lake Ontario and Niagara Falls as
we fly eastward just south of the St Lawrence Seaway. About two
hours later we start our descent toward Burlington (KBTV), and it
has been a comfortable and uneventful flight. We taxi in to one of
the most impressive FBOs that I have ever seen. It is almost brand
new, all glass and stainless steel, and the staff are very helpful. We
also pay a visit to US Customs and Immigration as this will be our
departure point from the USA. It is all very friendly and relaxed, but
everything is checked and the customs officer walks out to inspect
the aircraft and to check that the data plate is consistent with the
