What is an ILS Y 19R approach?

[A Squared]

A Squared,

You're a smart guy, no need to bash UND over one mistake. There are quite a few guys out there that have no idea what the Y and Z lettering means. Don't be one of those guys that has to "rise" to the challenge just to prove how smart you are and leave the personnel attacks and ego at the login screen.

Your comments are noted, however, my remarks were not prompted by the mistake, we all make mistakes, myself included. Rather I was commenting on the tendency (all too common) to post erroneous information to a thread when the correct information has already been given. It happens quite often, and it detracts from the usefulness of a forun as a means of exchange of useful information. I dunno about you, but if there is a thread in which several posters have posted information which consistently conflicts with my understanding of something, little bells go off in my head and I say to myself ... "self, maybe there's something here that you don't understand completely", and I look into it before I start running my mouth. Obviously, Night_flight didn't go through this process. I would submit that there would be a lot less misinformations and minunderstandings in aviation if people would do a little research instead of talking out of thier a$$es.

Cool, cool. Is it me, or is really late....

They used to use ILS 2 31L rather than Y or Z, but there could be confusion on the radio with 'ILS to 31L' or was it 'ILS 2 31L'.

There is a usually a different initial approach portion that you might be expected to fly, for example one might be an NDB procedure turn and the other a VOR radial to the FAF. Depending on the equipment available in your aircraft, you might not be able to fly one of the approaches.

A squared...I hope you were never an instructor...if you were then you probably scared at least a few good sticks away from flying with that attitude. All this guy did was ask a question...and isn't a message board about opinions? If he ever needs a demeaning smart @ss answer I guess he knows who to call on now. This is supposed to be LIGHT conversation you @n@l retentive j@ck@ss. Why don't you go into the kitchen and get yourself a nice big steamy cup of shut the hell up.

Right....... you might go back and read the thread, for comprehension this time. He didn't ask a question, that was Stewie who asked the question, and I answered it, politely and correctly, as did several others. The poster in question was posting an incorrect answer to the question after it had been answered correctly (a pet peeve of mine) As for my attitude toward questions, you'll find many examples on this board of me posting fairly detailed answers and explanations to various questions, many of them of a very basic nature. I don't think you'll find many instances of me having been rude to someone for merely for asking a question. I will however admit to having a very low tolerance for someone contradicting others, when they don't know what they're talking about themselves. Night-flight's post is a case in point.
