Driving All Night

About the only thing I personally know about Lincoln, Nebraska is a Dennys off Interstate 80. In my moderately delinquent youth, I helped a friend who couldnt afford a move from Connecticut to Colorado by renting a truck for local use one Thursday afternoon, disconnecting the odometer, round tripping across two time zones, and reconnecting it in time to log 30 miles before returning the truck Monday morning.

Key Takeaways:

The Lincoln, NE ILS/LOC Rwy 18 approach features a rare, unusually extensive, and uniquely charted teardrop course reversal that can be simplified by ATC clearance for an early turn.
The approach's complexity, including Category E minimums and the long teardrop, is likely due to Lincoln being a joint-use airfield accommodating high-speed military aircraft.
The procedure includes a lengthy notes section detailing conditions such as the requirement for dual NAV/GPS for certain stepdowns and allowing reduced visibility (RVR 1800) with the use of a flight director, autopilot, or HUD to decision altitude.

This also meant we had no idea how fast we were going, but I get a kick out of flying partial panel. I didn’t share either of those facts with the Pennsylvania State Trooper.
