We have an acro box and a sky diving box south of the field ... the only restriction is not to try and fly THROUGH it ... as ED said, his CFI should have gone over these types of situations ...

Not a physician, but in the medical field ... jokes that I've heard kicked around in the pre-op lounge: 1. "I don't do physicals because they require a rectal exam, and there are a LOT of big ****oles out there!" 2. "How am I expected to perform a rectal if half the population has their head...

Years ago was going to a hockey game in Glendale AZ from Texas (Pre-Foreflight). Airport closed by Notam AFTER I was airborne. Was on flight following and the awesome ATC guy told me as much LONG before I got near the Arizona line basically stating," your destination just closed, possible...

He was telling the truth Nathan ... he also has an uncle in Africa that is about to be arrested and they want to transmit funds to a USA account and they need YOUR help ... sounds pretty legit;):p

I watch landing aircraft at my field on occasion from the hangar area ... ALL of the traffic states "Right base runway 28" after they are WELL on the base. The remark that the 152 turned after hearing the call is probably wrong. He probably was already on base, then announced the base, like I...

We have right traffic to RWY 28 at our field with sky divers south (straight ahead not an option). Initially option 4 sounds bad, but if you side step large to the right in right traffic and the goof on the straight in doesn't abort with you, things should work out ... he'd have to aim at you...

I made the call extending ... more accurate I guess to state they probably turned a little earlier than abeam the straight in ... Clusters up students ... am pretty sure 2 of the 4 students were first time solo (which I think were the early base turn pilots). Years ago, with jump planes and...

Our field has had serious runway work twice .... both times taxi way Alpha became the main runway for months (Notamed as such also with a weight limit like 15000 or some such) ... here's what it looked like ....

And just like THAT: This weekend I had to shoe horn into the pattern with 4 students doing TnGs ... and on CUE, someone calls a straight in final at 5 out. The student in front of me turns base anyway. I extend downwind, but #'s 2 and 3 don't see me and cut in front as soon as they are abeam...

From Geezer Geek Pilot right here (Youtube explanation available "Foreflight Quick Tip: Where's the Airport?): After you graduate and are taking long XC trips: FPL - Procedures - Traffic Pattern Tip is for hard to see runways, that usually lack paint ... DON'T use in a high traffic environment!

Bruce is correct Francisco ... during my training I was in the Class C with my CFI and another student was as well (belonged to a different CFI). Tower gave him a "position and hold" which is "line up and wait" now ... they forgot about him and cleared commercial traffic to land the same...

It's major breaking cases such as these that justify your property taxes :confused::eek::p

Probably more than one pass ... When I purchased my Tiger we called to check on fuel at one of the FBOs along the way and they stated they're off-site and locked the pump but to make a low pass over a specific farm prior to reaching the field and they would meet us there to unlock the pump...

We get transient Cirrus aircraft doing this on a weekly basis at my field. We generally have 1-5 students in the pattern, and sky diving south of the field. We've talked to them on the ground after landing as they a cause complete cluster fudge, especially if the CFIs are not on board (am...

Years ago during training with my CFI, as we were taxiing into the very busy FBO ramp to park, someone's kids came running straight at us. Seemed like slow motion, I did everything at one time mixture- ignition and it still seemed to take forever to get the prop stopped ...

Everything in that photo passes gas ... that'll destroy the climate:eek::eek::eek::eek::confused::confused::confused::confused:

I haven't finished yet, but requesting delay vectors or a hold might stop the log jam ...

Makes people feel better I guess, as in, "well THAT won't happen to me!".

facebook: Mostly fact check TRUE Twitter: Fact check TRUE MSM: In unison "fact check TRUE" :confused:;);):p:p:p:p

If you're GA and flying with a concealed weapon I HIGHLY recommend not accepting the Juarez Mexico over-flight in case of an engine or emergency issue. East-West traffic can transition downtown or via Anthony Gap ... the non-locals never take Anthony Gap (between Las Cruces and El Paso) ...
