The Naughty Words the FAA Removed from the Sky
- sokoloff 2y agoThere are some amusing fix sequences on approaches. The RNAV-16 to KPSM: https://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/2405/00678R16.PDF https://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/2405/00678R16.PDF "ITAWT ITAWA PUDYE TTATT" and then (ironically) the missed approach hold is "IDEED" Kansas City (KMCI) 1R has SLOWE COOKD BARBQ RIBBS and TURKY Morristown (KMMU) ILS-23 has BADDA BINGG

- thecosmicfrog 2y agoSFO has some appropriately Silicon Valley-themed waypoints: the SSTIK5 departure procedure has "CISKO", "EBAYE" and "UTOOB". SFO also has the SNTNA2 departure which has "KYNNG", "KRLOS and "SNTNA" (in that order). LAS has the GAMES2 arrival which has "FUULL", "HOUZZ" and "BYNGO". My personal favourites, however, are at Philadelphia (PHL), where there are there two arrivals named after cheesesteak restaurants: JIIMS4 and PAATS4.
