Statue of liberty fms fix
Does anyone know if there is a FMS fix for the Statue of Liberty? I have been told many times to fly to her & life would be easier if I have a 5 letter identity for it. I heard LADY but that's not enough letters. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Get a New York Helicopter Route Chart either go buy one or get download a copy here:

Pull the Lat/Long off the Statue of Liberty Waypoint from the tabular text/legends section.
Create a pilot defined waypoint in your FMS box, call it whatever you want LADY, whatever floats your boat. Some pilots like to name the pilot created waypoints after female anatomy parts or their ex or some similar theme, prompting management to send emails about Rule 32 violations in the FMS database.
Or just look out the window, point nose of airplane at the statue and fly up the Hudson, buzz Yankee Stadium.

Thanks for the info, I am asking for the fix just for SA or when ATC asks you to fly to the lady 30mi out with haze. I know all the old timer super pilots did it before with 0/0 vis smoking a cigar with a glass of scotch in the other hand. But me I like to have everything I can at my disposal.
