We are doing it now. It took a few vector sessions to get used to the new spacing requirements, but it can save a lot of miles on final during our heavy push.

Wake RECAT rules changed the categories from five (small, large, 757, heavy, super) to six (category A to F). It has not been implemented in all facilities yet, but many of the major ones (C90, A80, N90) and the big cargo facilities like SDF and MEM use wake RECAT.

The minimums (for a lot of aircraft) are a lot less now. I used to get an operational error if I allowed an SR22 less than 4 miles behind a CRJ. Now it's considered "too much room." But an SR22 is now 7 miles behind a B747, rather than the old 6. Yes. One mile means a lot.

We now use RECAT here, but I think it was 8-10 miles behind the Supers... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

DPA and ARR have FBO's that rent 172's. You might want to check out open airplane.

Controllers will still vector. They won't get paid until the shutdown ends. Anyone deemed "non-essential" will be indefinitely furloughed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sorry, I wrote my response before I saw this. To your credit, I had a good idea what you meant by "controller" as well. To PeeGee's credit, I can see 100% where he is coming from. We don't do the paperwork, at least not unless instructed to do so. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The only time a controller will fill out such a form is as a Controller In Charge in lieu of management present in the operation. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Make sure you check out transaction fees when you pick your provider. Some providers charge more than 3% for all transactions. Those fees add up quickly and will lower the bottom line of what you donate to your charity.

13 years in this job, and I had more IFR aircraft say unable to vectors than VFR aircraft. Every instance has to do with weather. No big deal, I have a lead aircraft act as a "pathfinder," and vector following aircraft through the hole the pilot found. I've had my handful of "cowboy" pilots...

We used creditcardprocessing.com to conduct transactions for our fundraiser. No contract, low rates. More secure than square readers and a fraction of the transaction cost. PM me for more info. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If it were malicious, maybe. Read the details how it happened, and you will see why that doesn't hold water. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That's brave! I walked into a bar in Hartfield one night (very inebriated), and yelled "where's the Bears fans at?!" You could hear a pin drop. Our tenure at that bar could be measured in nanoseconds. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
