Where it actually is

North up. The sponsor names these landmarks and publishes no coordinate for any of them — everything positioned here is derived, and each coordinate's provenance is listed with its point below. Dashed markers are depicted: this site's reading of the written route, not published fixes.

1. 1 Inbound from the east over Coyote Hills Coyote Hills The isolated group of grassy hills on the far, east side of the Bay at Fremont, rising straight out of flat marsh and salt ponds. Visible from most of the Peninsula and unmistakable — nothing else on that shoreline has relief. N37°33.89' W122°04.23' 37.56482, -122.07053 11 ft COYOTE satellite Apple Maps street view coordinate: OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL)
2. 2 Arrive via the Cement Plant (VPWFR) Cement Plant (VPWFR) A charted FAA VFR waypoint over the cement works on the Redwood City port channel, 2.2 NM east of the field: silos, conveyors and aggregate piles on the water. Being a published VFR waypoint, this one is already in your GPS database. A charted FAA VFR waypoint, so it is already in the GPS database. N37°30.88' W122°12.26' 37.51466, -122.20441 232° mag · 7.0 NM 6 ft VPWFR satellite Apple Maps street view coordinate: FAA NASR 28-day subscription, FIX_BASE (cycle 01_Oct_2026) — a charted FAA VFR waypoint
3. 3 Pattern entry as advised San Carlos ATC tower The control tower on the field, which the Overhead Arrival crosses at or above 1,200 ft MSL. The whole airport sits between US-101 and the Bay marsh, two miles of flat ground with nothing else like it. N37°30.63' W122°15.00' 37.51056, -122.25005 251° mag · 2.2 NM 6 ft SQLTWR satellite Apple Maps street view coordinate: OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL)
