100523 GPS 8 KMRB

This is my approach in IMC to Martinsburg, WV (KMRB). Besides being the first approach in actual conditions I'd flown in a few months, this approach was also interesting in that it demonstrates the need for all parties to pay attention. The tower controller asked me to "report CEBER". I responded that I would although that waypoint didn't ring a bell. It didn't show on the Garmin 430's display of the approach nor did it show on my copy of the approach plate, so I called her back and asked for her to confirm which point she wanted me to report. "Final approach fix" was her response. Ah. That I could do. See, I was on the GPS 8 approach, but CEBER is the FAF for the GPS 26 approach. The point here is to make sure all parties understand intentions and expectations.

Weather for the approach: 01003KT 10SM FEW004 OVC014 18/18 A3016
