225 – Obscure ATC Intersection Mystery Solved (It’s UDIYU!)

Airplane Owner Maintenance - By Dean Showalter

And the winner is… Ben Moroze!

Recently, in podcast episode #223, I asked for help in identifying an ATC intersection we flew over on our way into Dulles Airport, (KIAD) awhile back.

I remembered it sounded something like “you-dee-ah” or something similar. Maybe something like “UDIYA” except that’s not it.

Well, Ben emailed me after listening to episode 223, and he correctly identified the intersection as “UDIYU” and told me it’s on the DOCCS THREE arrival and also on the GIBBZ FOUR arrival.

Thank you Ben! You’re the first one to respond after listening to episode 223.

Then, I sent an email out yesterday morning and received a good handful more responses about the intersection, UDIYU.

A big thank you to all of you who responded to this email!

You can listen to the audio podcast for this episode to hear about all those responses.

I also received a couple photos from my good friend Clark, showing the position of the UDIYU intersection… here’s one of those:

Thanks Clark, for the photos!

And here are a couple of my screen shots to get more context for the arrivals with the UDIYU intersection:

And thank you to ALL OF YOU GUYS who responded to my question… it’s really fun to learn about these obscure situations with you.

Now… I’m off to the shop to work on a Bonanza… and be sure to tune in again in a future episode to hear what I found in this Bonanza’s landing light wiring circuit that was causing all kinds of strange and weird effects in other systems as well.

Have a fantastic weekend!
