Line Up and Wait
I might try to avoid some MN winter cold this year, and spend a week in Daytona Beach.
While I'm there, I thought I might try renting and going up with an instructor just to do a little sightseeing. I mean very little... I really just want to get up, fly along the ocean, see some things, call it a day. Then I can cross Florida off my "states I've flown in" map.
How is it flying in and out of KDAB?
Does Cape Canaveral just let you circle around their "island"? It looks like they're just a private class D...? How does that work any differently than a "regular" class D? Of course I'm checking TFRs, getting a briefing, and working with approach, since this is Restricted airspace.
I was thinking something like this:
https://skyvector.com/?ll=28.868328...chart=301&zoom=4&fpl= KDAB TTS KXMR KTIX KDAB
There are three class Ds really close to each other at Cape Canaveral.
Am I better off filing IFR with a practice approach into KTIX, requesting a missed to the east and vectored back to KDAB over Canaveral?
How is the flying out there near/over the ocean?
Since I'll be flying with a local instructor, they should have the answers to all of this too. Just thought I'd ask for some local opinions.
thanks
