Is there any good place to look for how to find a bathroom at an airport you're not familiar with?
I imagine if there are people around, you could ask on unicom, but what if you're the only one around?
 
If it is not posted high and clear and visible from either the transient line, or self serve fuel, then your entire airport is fair game for micturition and it is your own fault. :D

You figured out the winds when you were on final, so go in the other direction.

I don’t think he did figure out the winds....someone was there to tell him what they were.
 
The winter is particularly fun with all snow just at the end of the ramp.
 
It looks like every possible question has now been asked; and now POA will have to shut down.
Or maybe even the whole internet.

j/k, Ryan. It’s a decent question.
 
What I was mildly hoping for was some online resource where you have some equivalent of the A/FD diagrams where things like transient parking and bathrooms labeled. I'm all for peeing downwind (as a male), but when you have to poop in a hurry, it'd be nice to know where you're going without spending your precious 178 seconds taxiing aimlessly.
 
Maybe look for this?

Depends how bad do you gotta go? #1 or #2?
 
To the OP, I get it. We finally had our nine year old drop a load right by an FBO. I can promise their landscaping team wished they had better signage...
 
This seems like a feature ForeFlight needs to add to their airport charts.

I guess I should note the FBO was closed and no code for the door! Not just teaching our son Boy Scout techniques.
 
Wasn’t there a forum thread a few years back about using your flight bag? They should create a special pouch in the bag for that.

micturition:
noun
The act of passing urine; Urination

@schmookeeg wtf, where did you ever learn or use that word, lol
 
I just start peeing out in the open and pretty soon comes over, points, and says "WTF are you doing, there's a bathroom right over there!"

Voilà. I just found out where the bathroom is.

Yeah, but they will release it for the Performance Plus subscription level.

The cheap plebes get to rough it in the bushes while I get a personal escort direct to enter enter. :p
 
I believe the state of MN requires public airports to have a restroom accessible 24/7 even if the FBO is closed. When I asked my previous GM about that (he was also technically doing a lot of the airport manager job description) he pointed out that there was a restroom at the other end of the airport on the end of one of the T-hangar rows. Apparently he also thought the only people who might fly in were locals who would know that.o_O

Did I mention that I got in trouble one time for calling him a ****ing idiot in front of a lobby full of customers?:rolleyes:

Just run into the FBO with a panicked look on your face and locals will point the way....

~1000nm direct flight in a PA24. They were watching me on FA. I walked to the FBO, the counter girl didn't even say hi, she just had her arm extended, pointing down the hallway as soon as I walked in the door.

(This was at a Class C so, the non-existent bushes weren't an option.)
