If the media doesn't report the accident, does the accident still happen? Maybe we could work that angle.

I do it every cycle. Sometimes I'm a few days into it. I fly IFR around the Atlanta area. (Un)fortunately, I only have a 430W, so it's not like I have a ton of stuff to keep current.

I've said it twice now. :rolleyes: My math skills are rusty.:D

I landed on 36 and I started my backtaxi between A and B (closer to B, but I didn't realize traffic was right on my tail or I would have headed on up to A). I need to get to C to work my way to the hangars. He called me before I got to B. You can go in it, but it's blocked beween B and C.

The new FBO is being built in the empty spot between Bravo and Charlie, so the taxiway between them is blocked. I landed a little long and was coming up on Bravo heading south when the oncoming traffic called me. It was no big deal to tuck into B and do a 360 and get back on the runway. I'm...

You're right, but for me, it's a learning question. You can't always ask the local CFI who may or may not think he's the gospel at the airport. Judging by the responses, I see I'm not the only one who wasn't 100% sure. The POA brain trust is a great resource. lol.

there was a taxiway nearby, but it's next to the construction and basically a dead end with enough room to do a 360 and reenter the runway. I was fine doing it, and I would do it for anyone who was coming in a little early. Like I said, I was just wondering who actually had the right of way...

I always end with full stop on my position broadcasts. It's a local flight school and they know hangars are at south end along with current fbo. No way to get there without staying on the runway. I guess I could have been more specific, but it's been this way for weeks.

Completely agree about turning around on runway, but we've been doing it for several weeks,and the flight schools is aware of it. I guess I'm just wanting to know for myself what the rule is.

It's a pain, especially when your landing north. Hangars are to the south. There is a section of taxiway that is closed,so you must enter the runway at some point. To answer your question I never left runway, just turned around on it. The next taxiway exit was pretty far away still.

I've done it before for others and I've extended downwind to give landing traffic time to backtaxi. It wasn't so much doing it, it was his tone that struck me later.

I saw that, too. At uncontrolled airports, I think you have to use courtesy and common sense. If several airplanes were landing, we could all theoretically be stuffed at the far taxiway and cutoff from the hangars since landing aircraft has right of way.

That's my thinking. Just seemed rude. Didn't know if there was a specific. Rule for situations like this.

There's a section that's closed. I can leave but had to reenter to get tot he taxiway for the hangars.

Got into a little debate. A CFI with a student flew in behind me after I landed. The taxiiway is closed due to FBO construction, so you have to backtaxi on the runway. Anyway, I turned around and announced I was starting my backtaxi to the hangars, but he got on the radio and told me I had to...

I think that's Garmin's motto. :D

wow. I thought my profession was hung up on semantics.

glad I'm not paying for that. Oh wait a sec, I kinda am.

I'm not too familiar with it, but it gets criticized on mooneyspace for its limited useful load.

They better not be using your avatar. :D
