KOSU to KLUK

22 March 2104 1900Z

Ground track of today’s flight from OSU to Cincinnati’s Lunken Field (KLUK). The circular track just west of OSU is my “hold”. Flight provide a nice mix of turbulence, IMC, trace of ice (requiring an immediate change of altitude), wind, and a hold. All in all, a good test of flying. ✈

Lesson learned though: After setting up the ILS 9R approach, and activating that approach (with the intent to circle to land on 27L), I received a clearance to “hold” at Fuler outer marker (as I had requested). Hold worked fine, except on inbound course once passed Fuler, the approach was “not activated.” Need to remember to “reactivate” the approach once it is changed from an earlier setting. Ended up flying the approach using “raw” data from the #2 navigation radio, with #1 in VLOC mode to supplement.
