    Heard Somthing Different When Flying Today

    I wouldn't have thought to describe it as an information frequency, but it I do hear it used frequently enough by aircraft who can't make contact on an assigned frequency to get pointed the right direction. Say you get a handoff to 1xx.xx and can't raise them, maybe try the last frequency back...

    (Contact) Approach from the wrong direction?

    If the storms are south of the field and look like you'll get vectored into them, divert to KLOU - Bowman. 5 miles difference and avoids the longer vector south.

    Straight in landing non towered airport

    Maybe it's because he knows he's about to be entertained by the responses to this 13, 293rd version of this thread and that 82% of the responses will be that it's OK if it doesn't cause a problem with other traffic and 18% will declare the insane irresponsibility of doing it. ;)

    St. Maartin, Whose been?

    We did the Airport Excursion SXM which takes you from the cruise ship harbor to just off Maho Beach on a decent sized boat and stayed there for several hours. You can snorkel, play in the water, or simply sit on the boat and watch planes. They had the tower frequency over their speakers when...

    Which Tower Frequency on Initial Contact?

    At KDWH, it would be for workload. The smaller parallel is used for T&G's and the larger is for most full stop arrivals and anything larger than the standard 2/4 seat trainer. Was a time it wasn't uncommon for the training pattern to be full working a pattern east of the airport and for all...

    Which Tower Frequency on Initial Contact?

    KDWH is a Delta with parallel runways under the Houston Bravo and has two tower frequencies listed with West and East designations. In 20 years around it, I can only recall a handful of extremely busy Saturdays that the second frequency was used and it was noted on ATIS. In practice, anyone...

    For sure. I've had multiple closing agents call as they're finalizing the paperwork and say "we don't have your mortgagee's name", I say "there isn't one", they say "no no no, it's the company you're getting a loan from", I say "you're getting a wire from me the day before closing, it's a cash...

    Prebuy Question

    If you don't want it flown after the pre-buy, you need to have money in hand (or escrow) and close the deal immediately after you're happy with the results of the pre-buy. Or have alternate language specifically spelled out in the purchase agreement (though I don't know why he'd agree to it if...

    Life Insurance invasive questions

    The only real consequence is they don't issue you a policy. They can choose to not do business with you for any reason they want and you are free to try to do business with another company.

    Texas

    There are plenty of very vibrant and comfortable areas that you can live in “inside the loop” that are easy commutes with plenty of walkable eating, drinking, and recreation opportunities. Some of those connected by the light rail. I have many folks work for me that only drive their cars to go...
