This KWAY GPS 090 is a private helicopter-only approach designed for use by emergency medical services helicopters serving KWAY.  The approach must be in a GPS database in order for the owners of the approach to legally fly it; however, the approach plate is not published for public use.     ____________________ Richard Kaplan, CFII rkaplan@flyimc.com http://www.flyimc.com  Current time is 07:45 pm
