Dan shares a startling story from his early days as a CFII flying in actual Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). While shooting the RNAV approach into Maryland’s challenging Freeway Airport (W00) with a student, a perfect storm of factors—an offset approach course, older GPS equipment, patchy rain, and a short runway—led to a terrifying visual illusion right at the Minimum Descent Altitude. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/i-learned-about-flying-from-that-1370892/episodes/124-is-this-a-parking-lot-or-a-runway/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/i-learned-about-flying-from-that-1370892/124-is-this-a-parking-lot-or-a-runway.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
