midlifeflyer Posted March 6, 2017 Report Posted March 6, 2017 For anyone who thinks the FAA doesn't have a sense of humor, Comic-Con is being held in San Diego this year and... http://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/1703/00373comix.pdf#search=KSAN 2

1964-M20E Posted March 6, 2017 Report Posted March 6, 2017 For Orlando you have Minnie 5 and Goofy 6 arrivals.

201er Posted March 7, 2017 Report Posted March 7, 2017 I have a stupid question. I realize it's a joke, but is it a REAL procedure? Like is the joke that it's a fake procedure or is the joke that there's actually a real procedure with those fixes!?
gsengle Posted March 7, 2017 Report Posted March 7, 2017 Those are all real.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
aviatoreb Posted March 7, 2017 Report Posted March 7, 2017 Over kmal Malone, ny there is a waypoint bugsy in the approach.
EricJ Posted March 7, 2017 Report Posted March 7, 2017 A fave waypoint near here that I use a lot just because I love it so much is BANYO. My flying is typically VFR using the GPS, and there are so many happily-named waypoints around here that using the fun ones is a preference in route selection.

carqwik Posted March 7, 2017 Report Posted March 7, 2017 BANYO has been around for a long time....what is it's meaning? I never thought about it and "don't get it" if there is a meaning to it. I think Orlando has a good arrival name: GOOFY6 arrival. It used to have some waypoints named after Disney characters but I think the current version has deleted them.

cnoe Posted March 7, 2017 Report Posted March 7, 2017 Between Austin and Houston area our arrival fixes are named after highly-regarded "beers" such as SHYNR and BOKKE. Near Norman, OK they're named after past OU basket greats like TSDEL and WAYMN. FAA ain't ALL bad. 1

Just makes me chuckle when I see it. Going NW or W out of Scottsdale it's just a convenient point to navigate around Deer Valley's Class D space.

thinwing Posted March 7, 2017 Report Posted March 7, 2017 Isn't there a rock formation out there shaped like a toilet?

I've used GOOFY a number of times over the past 15 years or so and don't recall different waypoints than the present ones. OTOH, in addition to GOOFY, there are also MINEE and PIGLT STARs for Orlando
