KCMA has 365 flight ops per day which is on the higher side of an average G.A. field. KILG shows this field as having 184 flight ops per day making it below average traffic. Your busy G.A. airports typically have in excess of 400 ops per day. Your average airport has around 300 ops per day...

I once encountered a New Yorker that told me Floridians are rude, I quickly reminded him that most Floridians are ex-New Yorkers and that he probably had just been running into some of his own peeps.:rofl:

Many towered airports that have scheduled carrier service close after 11pm and any carriers that have late arrivals land using the CTAF. So I would venture to say that it depends more on traffic load versus type of aircraft.

Ya didn't give me time to edit my original post to reflect on your opinion that I found to make more sense than mine. :rolleyes:

Absolutely correct! If you're coming up with contaminated fuel you're not going to fly with that tank of fuel until the problem is corrected so you might as well dump it into a proper disposal tank. For those that may not be familiar with the term NIMBY, it means Not In My Back Yard. It is the...

I've have moved more times in my life than I care to remember, the only thing I've taken with me from the old place is memories. With that said, I will always remember which place had the best of what and that way I'll have a reason to return. California: In-N-Out Burger and real Mexican food...

Etiquette, protocol, common decency towards your fellow pilots, safety and the list goes on and on and on. There shouldn't be a single pilot on this board that was taught to approach an uncontrolled field by making a single call out that your on a straight in final to runway XX. Or as...

You'd be surprised at how many airports can actually operate without a tower as long as the pilots follow the rules of flying into an uncontrolled field. As long as your airport doesn't have too many jet-jockeys the flow of piston powered planes can run smoothly upwards of 400 operations per...

+2 And I also have Foreflight...:yesnod:

I would love to attend more of the seminars but they're never close to home. I've done the online courses but have never had the opportunity to follow through with a complete course from beginning to end.

I don't own her but I rent this baby as much as I can.. N440FA. But this is the beauty that I'm saving my pennies up for...

Are you referring to the actual tower at KJAX or ARTCC ZJX? I work out of the Jacksonville airport and even at the busiest time of day there isn't more than a couple of planes landing/taking off from there per hour. Jacksonville Center ZJX on the other hand is extremely busy because they...

Is it FAA vs Contracted towers? Because the list of airport tower closures doesn't make sense for the ones they have listed for Florida. KCRG - Lots of training flights and at least ten times busier than KJAX. KHWO - Another very busy training field. KISM - Very busy airport just outside of...

Interesting DIY catmandu... Any pictures of finished product?

Yes, that's the one. It might be the semi-porous aluminum surface that I've been trying to mount it to.:dunno: I will try it in the car tomorrow and see if it holds on the windshield to and from work and sitting in the hot Florida sun throughout the day.

It sure is, I just received mine via FedEx this morning.:) After a quick check out I have found a few issues that I would like to pass along to anyone considering the RAM mount. First and foremost this mount is par for the course from RAM if you are familiar with their products. I purchased the...

I feel your pain Brian, my disposable income has all but been disposed of. My prediction is that the rich will continue to get richer and their employees will get paid less and less. Eventually it won't matter how much money the rich have hoarded to themselves because the US dollar will be a...

Yes it is much easier to understand without the sound of the engines running. Maybe it's time to invest in a pair of ANR headsets..:lol:

I have to agree that the celebration flight may be a little too soon, but then I'm thinking of my limitations and yours may be different. My first passengers came a few days after my checkride and it was a late afternoon flight that brought us back at night. Keep in mind the following factors...

Does this count for ATC as well? Without mentioning a specific tower, I've had great difficulty in understanding the instructions disseminated by the tower controller because of his strong accent. :dunno: Audio recording attached.
