How Do Ya Spell That?

In Elaine Kauh’s article, “Plans Change,” in the January issue of IFR Magazine, there is an error in the route that Elaine lists for the flight: “You play defensive and file to go around all of that while including outbound, enroute and inbound checkpoints: RANDO DLL HERMNN WEASL.”

The waypoint listed as “HERMNN” is problematic on two points. First, it is a six (not five) letter name, and the HERMN waypoint is actually in Berkeley County, SC. What she meant was the HRMNN waypoint that is along T354 near Lacrosse, WI.
