I'll probably just find a quiet/clean spot someplace in the "back" around area H and do my runup there (like hanging my tail off that easternmost taxilane, whatever that is called) when departing from 17 or 35. They have had us calling them "runup complete" for years but this goes against that. I often do my runup before I even call for my clearance.
Ever since the change to taxi to specific run up areas and the extra call to ground to leave them, I've been running up in the hangar row or over there to the east (since Hotel is all non-movement area it doesn't really matter how you get around down there and you don't have to call them) as long as it's safe with no airplanes or people or cars to sandblast and no hangar doors unlatched that would be tossed around. Our hangar row is pretty quiet except for weekend mornings. The most common doors to be up are ours, the Gobosh next to us, and the Cirrus across and a couple over. I hardly ever see any other doors open in our row. The Doc that's building an airplane is a couple up from us and I've known him for decades (used to fly his Mooney even) and he'll latch his people-door for us so we can run up in the row if he's there working on it.
It's so much easier to call run-up complete, especially if departing 10. They just clear you to taxi to the 10 hold short line and as soon as they can see you come out from behind the hangar row, it's "monitor tower" and usually an immediate takeoff clearance before you even hit the hold line.
Then on the way back in if winds are favorable or light I'll take 28 to arrive and turn off at the first exit and right into our row.
It's kinda like having your own runway over there and you avoid Mari and her friends playing tag with the F-18s and what not on the 17/35 complex. Heh.
I'm usually a little bummed when the wind makes me taxi all the way over there to depart 17 or 35.
Arrivals are a little better. If you let them know you're going to Hotel and ask to land long, you just aim to be down a little ways before A-8 going either direction (and beg for 17L and 35R instead of all the way over on the west runway) and it's an immediate "cross Alpha to the ramp, remain this frequency" about 99% of the time.
Even if you have to call ground, if you switch radios fast enough and there's no traffic, it's quick to get that crossing instruction and you're done since it's all non-movement from there.
The stupid coyotes like to play there at the A-8 intersection at night, too... By the way. Airport Ops will come chase them off if you see 'em. I used to tell the tower but anymore with Bluetooth on the Lightspeeds I just hit the speed dial for Ops and it's forwarded at night to the cell phone in the truck if they're out of the office. Usually they're over there hazing the coyotes before I'm shut down in Hotel if they're already in the truck doing something else. They like to go play with the sirens and lights anyway. Heh.
They have to ask Airport ops for a 10 landing, and make sure they don't have anyone with a tall tail taxiing on Alpha, but I've done that one a few times when the wind is easterly.
And at night when the place is empty they'll do a 28 departure also. That's kinda fun. Turn north at the tower and wave hello.
One of the 10 landings they misjudged how fast a jet was going to come out of X-Jet to take off southbound and it was night so he was working all positions on Tower freq and I hear this "ShineyJet 123 Stop, stop, stop. Hold short there on Alpha for traffic landing 10."
I kept an eye to see he was stopping and thanked them both for the accidental pause in his taxi to land.
Nice of them both to work that out. I could have gone around and made another lap to let him finish getting up to 17L and landed before he took off.
I could definitely see if you got low landing 10 how taxiway Alpha traffic is a collision hazard.
If anyone gets a chance to do this, remember that 10 is sloped downhill, get the power off and get down there or you'll be a loooong way down there before you get slowed up.
