Controllers aren't mind readers. They don't know if you prefer the RNAV over the ILS or LOC. Many times they don't even know if you want to land upwind or not. My airport had LPVs to both ends of the runway, but the controllers always gave me the approach that would have been straight in...

Because that's what ATC is used to giving out most likely, nearly everybody can fly that. If you wanted the RNAV, you could have asked for it and most likely gotten it.

As does the Cessna Mixmaster I believe.

As I said, one of many clues. Hopefully one or more of those mentioned would be present, but I can find you examples where the box on the airport isn't there for a Part 93 airport (look at everything in the DC SFRA).

I agree. Certainly not an issue in my plane nor in any other that I've flown. As stated the nose gear decouples from the steering when the strut extends. It would be a stupid design otherwise. You're going to fly uncoordinated at a time where you need maximum performance in order to get...

I was joking somewhat, but they are listed explicitly in Part 93. They must be created by rulemaking. Of course, the chart usually explicitly says them with a NOTICE box (and a blue hashed outline). A box around the airport name also indicates generic special flight rules, but not all Part 93...

Another fuel flow story. Coming out of restoration where I had replaced the mechanical fuel gauges with an MVP50. I had started to calibrate them sitting at the self-serve pump at the Nebraska airport when the mechanic came out and yanked off a shunt I had put on to fix a problem with the...

One year our plane came out of annual the day before we were to leave for Oshkosh. I tanked it up and did a quick test flight. We opened up the cowling after the flight and looked for various leaks. Nothing visible. The next day we load up the plane and Margy is flying and I'm on the...

Cessna 310. The tips are the mains. The wing tanks are the auxiliary tanks. There's actually good reason for this. If your plane is set up properly for it, having that weight at the other end of the wing to counter the weight of the central fuselage load works out. In my plane you get a...

You betcha. I had a line guy at GYY offer to put JET A in the Navion once.

Hartzells. The prop TBO is obligatory unlike the engine times.

There's a difference between putting people in an instructional situation than playing trivia quiz (or stump the chump) with them. A better strawman than he one in the original post would be, you're approaching RWI (airport near here with a class E surface area, no tower) and the AWOS is...

By reading part 93?

Gonna need two props and probably an engine overhaul next May.

I think something was very (stressfully) wrong from the time the airplane got off the ground (maybe before). Frankly, give me a turn direct to the runway and let me get this thing on the ground.

"The ATC facility having control over the airspace." Practically, it's the same guy who you'd be talking to for an IFR clearance in the same airspace. Get out your approach plate or chart supplement or punch up the frequency list in your GPS. AFKA Control Zones shouldn't exist without an...
