Meadows Field in Bakersfield, California (KBFL) lies at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley. For purposes of instrument flight, we call this area a huge temperature inversion waiting to happen. And when it does, the minimal visibility means we’ll want to know exactly where we should squeak the tires at the landing end of a precision approach. At KBFL, it’s not where you’d expect at first glance.
