One day, I had finally had enough. As he lifted off from a touch-and-go, I shook the control stick and said, Ive got the jet. Add half the gust factor to final approach and touchdown speeds.

At this point, we reached the threshold of the runway. We lifted off with raindrops showering on our aircraft. We were on final approach into runway 06L. An Easyjet A321ceo aircraft was undergoing the deicing procedure. Making our turn into the active runway. Flying over some hilly areas. Touched down!

Since we lost our LPV approaches due to obstructions along the final approach course, the downgraded LNAV minimum descent altitude for the approach to runway 28 was 558 feet above the ground. This meant that there would be no getting into Sodus unless the ceiling lifted. Still IFR, but barely.

To get there, you need to follow the signboard leading you to a lift and from the lower level, you can walk through the underpass to get to the other building.
