Phase focus
Fly directly over the railroad tracks heading NE. Hold 90 kt / 1,800 MSL (or 135 / 2,300 when needed for safety). Remain at least ½ NM in trail. If possible, lower retractable gear before Fisk. Listen continuously to Fisk Approach 120.7 - silent unless ATC speaks to you.
Why it is split into its own page and app phase
Searchers often ask about Ripon and Fisk directly. The companion treats the segment as a distinct phase so a pilot can brief it without mixing it with parking, departure, or alternate-airport detail.
