Palm Springs International VFR

[Lucky dog]

Flying VFR next weekend to PSP from Kansas. Any advice on the approach and landing appreciated. I’ve only been there once several years ago.

Probably will get a right downwind to the left runway, traffic permitting. When SoCal hands you off to the tower, tell tower your FBO choice on initial call, or they'll have to ask you...

Stay away from the rocks. Check density altitude.

Thanks for the advice. Looks like great weather so should be able to stay away from Terra firma!

Easy peasy and pretty sleepy airport...noting to worry about other than the rather substantial walls of hard things surrounding but a non issue in daytime VMC.

Check the winds...it can get ripping through there.

High winds will ring unsavory turbulence too

If the wind is >30 kts, watch out for “eddies”….
