Anyone hear about Obama missing KPSP and going to KRIV

I was at the Airport and the weather was as bad as I had ever seen it in KPSP. A lot of roads in the Coachella Valley are still closed due to flooding and my pool is about to overflow. Alaska Airlines landed shortly after SAM29000 flew the missed, but it seems Alaska pioneered RNP approaches.   http://www.boeing.com/commercial/aeromagazine/aero_12/navigation_alaska.html

I get all that stuff about circling and special procedures, higher minimums for higher category aircraft. Been into KPSP many times. But ... who is this Obama guy? Never heard of him?

 

 

If you need to ask...Apparently he went to Law School and he has two autobiographies.

But yeah, that terrain will ruin your day if you lack competence.

The weather aside- he's hitch hiking home after the storm  :-) Is there a big TFR around there?

Looks like the big stuff gets 3 miles vis for the circle.

Most of the airlines I worked for had VFR mins for circle to land   1000/3
