Tim,
I haven't done much on the coast in little airplanes, but I've been watching them
for 25 years from up higher. It seems to me that there are VFR corridors through
most of it. At LAX, it is right off the end of the runways along the shoreline,
and we often get traffic along there pointed out. I did fly my Socata
into Hawthorne near LAX and it was actually quite easy in and out. There are
several smaller airports around San Diego, but even SAN itself seems GA friendly
as long as you don't hit them during a rush. I've been to Catalina and
it wan't bad at all.
I think the only real problem area on the coast is around Vandenberg AFB and Point
Magu. San Luis Obisbo, Santa Maria were nice stops in my Metro days as were
Santa Barbara and Monterrey. They are all GA friendly.
One caution for any California airport is that they do ramp inspections and note
N numbers and send out tax notices if you haven't paid them any tax. It happened
to me and is a pain to prove that you are just a visitor.
Sedona is very nice. Great restaurant and a decent hotel a short walk from the
ramp.
Plan it during Copperstate and stop by the RV10 nest.

I have flown the coast a couple of times and did not find anything special to worry
about. It has been a while but I remember that both San Francisco and LAX
controllers were very helpful.
Make sure you ask for the Golden Gate bridge tour when you talk to San Francisco.
They have a routine where they send you over the bridge at lower altitude
for sight seeing. On that day, half of the bridge was under fog and it was a
awesome sight. The sight seeing routine was offered to me by the controllers
and I did not know anything about it before I got there.
One thing I did not like; the coast has a rugged landscape and if I remember right,
most of the time you have no emergency lading spot other than ditching in
cold waters.

Unfortunately, the restaurant at Sedona is closed, pending replacement of
the old building with something in the terminal. Would be fantastic if you
can schedule to make Copperstate. Montgomery Field in San Diego is fine.
If you want to land below sea level, there is Imperial Valley on the way
from the Coast to Arizona.

I agree, thanks to all of the good replies, both on and off-list.
It sounds like it should be no problem at all. A few have mentioned
the off-airport landing possibilities (very few) along the coast,
and yeah, that does make a person nervous, but at the same time
it's done every day and a once-in-a-lifetime flight for me
probably, so we'll probably do it if we can. We'll have the
same life jackets used for the Bahamas trip. The kids will be
along, and they'll love the view. It's a vacation but we'll
be moving along at a good clip because we've got many thousands
of miles to cover in one week. We may have one or two planes
coming with us for portions of the time too.
I don't plan to do copperstate, as this one we'll be real
pressed for time to cover the miles and stops, and this one
is about family vacation less than pilot vacation. ;)
So far we have extreme interest from the kids in a whale
watching trip, so I have to figure out which area would
be best to do that, since we'll basically cover most
of the US West coast. I'd hope there was somewhere where
there would be *guaranteed* whale encounter trips.

Another thing to consider during this time of years is indeed the fog most
likely will be less=2C but there is also the chance for the Santa Ana wind
conditions which are present in the mid to southern portion of the state. T
he winds can be very strong and will not make for nice flying. These winds
become more likely late in September=2C and get more and more likely throu
gh January.
On another note=2C might I recommend Camarillo airport or Oxnard airport an
d a whale watching trip form Ventura harbor.. Those Channel Islands are nic
er than Catalina=2C but sounds like you would like to land at the famous Ca
talina airport=2C which has plenty of wrecked airplanes at the end of the f
ield. Catalina Island has more touristy stuff to do=2C the other islands ar
e remote and prettier because they are away from Los Angeles.
Just stuff to look at.

Since I am now using my RV-10 from time to time to do the 1750nm commute between
Nashville and the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, and flew the route between
San Diego and the Pacific Northwest many times, I would add the following to
the good information already posted.
1. In an RV-10 with you as a current instrument rated pilot, you're gonna have
big fun and tons of options. It is a glorious route in good weather, and even
with the coastal stratus, if temps are not conducive to icing, you generally
only have to hop over a few miles inland along the central coast to get to a clear
path. More coastal mountains north of San Francisco but still lots of options.
Just call for flight following wherever you are, and you'll generally have very
helpful controllers. If they are busy and it's getting a little scuzzy, just
land inland or air-file IFR and get in the system.
2. We flew the route from Oakland to Victoria BC along the coast in one day when
there was a big high pressure system over the region, doing just what you describe:
2500 feet following the coastline. Things not to miss, north to south:
a. Swing by Mount St. Helens. You will be shocked on the north side to see the
moonscape with trees flattened like toothpicks for miles, now 30 years after
the event. (Don't get spooked by the steam still rising from the crater!).
b. Take a jog inland to McMinnville OR to see the Evergreen Aviation Museum (home
of Spruce Goose)
c. There is a great string of picturesque lighthouses along the Oregon Coast, also
Crescent City and Point Reyes.
d. The Bay tour over the Golden Gate bridge, as others have mentioned
e. Fly by the San Simeon castle, just north of Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo.
f. After you make the carrier-style landing at Catalina Island, get a buffalo burger
at the restaurant on the airport. If more time available, take the shuttle
bus down to Avalon and walk around the town or get one of the little rental
surreys and do the whole tour of the town and the Wrigley botanical gardens.
g. Headed back over to the mainland, the most GA friendly airport in the San Diego
area is Gillespie (KSEE in El Cajon, about 20 miles inland with lots of experimentals
based there) but Montgomery Field (KMYF) is fine too, and much closer
to downtown attractions like the zoo, the Midway aircraft carrier museum
and harbor walk-around.
Enjoy!

Keep in mind, there is a landing fee at Catalina, I think I heard it was
$15-20, the airport is not near Avalon (main town) so you need a taxi to
get there and I hear that is quite expensive as well.
Oh and expect the trip down and up the hill to/from town to the airport
to take a fair amount of time.. if you have 1/2 a day minimum this will
work for you.
This is the same experience as Sedona, now that I think about it.

<From Deems>
Rob, Thanks for the update, I've been following a thread on VAF that
is similar. I've flown about 40 hours with my Ipad, and have a pretty
good feel for how I use it (VFR). Today, I spent 30 + minutes in the
cockpit trying to identify the 'optimum' mounting location. The
Ram-Mount hardware is VERY impressive.
It was hard to find a location that both provides excellent access, AND
didn't interfere with another cockpit function. (I really like the way
my panel is laid out and don't want to compromise it) I came to the
conclusion that for me, a hard mount isn't the best bet. I've got moving
map gps/efis on the panel with approaches, etc. I'm only flying the
plane VFR now, so the main use for me is:
Pre-flight planning (means that it's got to be easily removable). I'm
not keen about having the 'empty mounting gear
Electronic POH _ I've got options on Primary and backup EFIS for
checklists, but I've converting my POH to a pdf, that I have on the IPAD
Sectional scanning - My EFIS only zooms out to 200 miles, and it doesn't
provide the ability to 'scroll' around and see what the surrounding
landscape holds
Flight Guide Replacement Airport info - With the changes to pricing for
the hard copy, it's really convenient to have it all in the IPAD.
So most of my usage is intermittent while in flight. I like being able
to grab the IPAD and do whatever I need to do, and then put it out ot
the way. When I need it it's really convenient to have visible with a
hands free view. (my wife is getting tired of 'here, hold this'). I
have a center console, that is now pretty empty , with all of the
charts, POH, and Flight Guide removed. So I think the solution for me,
is to fabricate a kneeboard-holder, that serves as a "platform" where I
can set/rest the Ipad when I need the information/function handy, (e.g.
airport/rwy data landing & TO) and my hands free. I'll make it with an
angle that allows for best viewing /access, but I'll probably put some
'non-skid' material on the back of it, and the knee-pad so that it can
be easily rotated and stored in the center console when its just in the way.

After reading Deems's email I have to say that I didn't
want to even reply before, because I don't want to knock
anyones install, but I personally feel that I love
my panel layout. I wouldn't WANT an ipad on the panel.
I think it would be a pain in the butt to use in flight
on the panel and I think even hard mounted it would be
a pain in the butt in turbulence when you need it.
I think a mount might be nice as a holder, but for in
flight USE I think just hand-holding is great. It's
just a reference device....the panel holds all the real
navigation gear.
I do like holding it, and like being able to hand it
to the wife or kids, and if I were going to mount it
anywhere, it would be as a kneeboard. Although as
a kneeboard it's a little large. But, personally I
feel it's far more important to have a good place to
handily STOW it than it would be to mount it.
Other than that, it's the ideal cockpit sized device.
On the panel though I think it would really suck
in bumps.....there are days I can't even push the
buttons on my radios or turn a knob without
my hand bouncing around hitting the wrong thing....a
touchscreen would be miserable.

:) In the scope of flying the approximately 5000 round trip
statute miles that the trip will be, I guess $20 is
swallowable. :)
I think for Catalina Island while I wouldn't mind touring
the island for a while, that I'll be happy to just land
and eat and turn around. To me, Catalina Island would
be about the view, the airport, and the flying experience.
Then I'll have to get back to things the kids would
prefer. ;)
You guys have been great at your tips. Thanks to Dan
Masys, as I hadn't even though about Mt. St. Helens,
and San Simeon Castle. Lots of near things to see.
Glad I did McMinnville already or I'd never have time
to see what I want on this trip!

Matronics lists. Not sure if Matt changed anything recently, but...
I use Thunderbird (on a Mac) and had to set my account to always use
plain text when sending emails to the matronics.com domain or they would
just show up as blank. I never had to do this until about a month ago.
Maybe Matt could chime in with any suggestions.

Cool, I've seen one other ipad kneeboard I think but this one
looks really nice.
Rob, if you're gonna mount your iPad as a hard mount,
I think that location you have now, on the tunnel
right by your side, is about as ideal of a place
as you'll find. At least in that location you can
rest your hand on it while you tap and move things,
and it's in good view.

Actually, to be a friendly email person, it's a good idea
to use only text email anyway, when possible. In thunderbird
you can still compose an HTML email if you hold SHIFT
while you click "write" for a new email.
The reason is, if you send HTML email, in most people's cases,
the HTML email takes up more space than a text email does, but
it gets worse, it also sends a text version of it and the
recipient's viewer chooses which one to display. So
now you're increasing each message size by 2X just because
you are sending HTML emails.
Things like background images to emails, and stuff like
that, are just a waste of space.
Also, it's a little harder to embed malicious scripts into
text-only emails. So I set that as my default for all
emails, and only send HTML when there is good reason.

I agree. It is located where we traditionally have our knee boards.
I have found one thing that I do not like; if I leave the iPad in the cockpit turned
on, it will shut down due to high temps in Florida and it takes about 10
min. or so to power back up.
I will see you at Copper State Tim.

I was at the Apple store yesterday and saw a cool iPad accessory that
converts the iPad to a back of the head rest mounted display (straps
around the headrest). An obvious choice for car rides or rear pax video
entertainment in a -10. Plus a good place to store it. Out of the way but
handy.

After reading Deems's email I have to say that I didn't
want to even reply before, because I don't want to knock
anyones install, but I personally feel that I love
my panel layout. I wouldn't WANT an ipad on the panel.
I think it would be a pain in the butt to use in flight
on the panel and I think even hard mounted it would be
a pain in the butt in turbulence when you need it.
I think a mount might be nice as a holder, but for in
flight USE I think just hand-holding is great. It's
just a reference device....the panel holds all the real
navigation gear.
I do like holding it, and like being able to hand it
to the wife or kids, and if I were going to mount it
anywhere, it would be as a kneeboard. Although as
a kneeboard it's a little large. But, personally I
feel it's far more important to have a good place to
handily STOW it than it would be to mount it.
Other than that, it's the ideal cockpit sized device.
On the panel though I think it would really suck
in bumps.....there are days I can't even push the
buttons on my radios or turn a knob without
my hand bouncing around hitting the wrong thing....a
touchscreen would be miserable.

| Subject: | Re: California coast via RV10? |
Hi Tim,
I'm not a high time pilot, and with all the time I spend building
these days I'm not getting much time in at all of late, but the time I
do have is in Southern California, up the coast and out East to
Arizona. Considering that, I can offer the following bits of info:
The Catalina runway is tricky, at best. FBO's around here insist on a
check ride with an instructor before they'll let you take their planes
there on your own. I have not made the trip, but my understanding is
that the runway is shaped like an inverted "V". Visually, it seems to
end well before it actually does end. But, when it does end, it ends
abruptly on the edge of a cliff. The preponderance of accidents there
are the result of the unnecessarily aborted landings that that site
picture creates. Catalina is a great spot for SCUBA diving... though
the water is cold.
Fog can roll in quickly off the ocean at the end of the day... and I
mean quickly. If you're cruising down the coast in the late
afternoon, have inland alternates planned because the airports beneath
you can go 0/0 before you know it.
There is a VFR corridor over LAX that's easy to pass through and
intended for the coastal cruise you're planning.
Pay attention to the jump zones around San Diego and glider areas in
the high desert above LA (in case the fog bumps you inland). They are
active.
All that having been said, I've driven the entire West Coast from San
Diego to Alaska and you are in for a treat. It is unbelievably
beautiful and you will want to come back for more.
If you need hangar space, I've got an empty one at Chino that you are
welcome to use.

I haven't changed anything on the input message processing in quite a while.
As has been pointed out, make sure to configure the email client to send "plain-text"
only. If the messages are showing up blank, the lack of a legitimate plain-text
MIME section is almost always the cause.

I have seen the Zoogue. It is a bit bulkier than I like but it does much
more than the one I saw because it's a "convertible" much like the official
apple case but I was not a fan of the Velcro portion. The one I saw is from
Griffin and it is a dedicated headrest unit with a place to store headsets
etc.. $40.00 (I have posted one of these on eBay for $175 if interested J)

Subject: RV10-List: Aviation Resources On The Web
I'm doing a presentation to our EAA Chapter on Aviation Resources on the
Internet and could use a little help. Is anyone willing to share what their
3 or 4 favorite sites are? Probably should do this off list.
Thanks,
