The only answer for the runway problem is more concrete. Lots more. Wouldn't it be great to taxi AROUND a runway?
BTW, Lrjtcapt, did you see a copy of the FAA letter to the guy in N90? Not good.
Most controllers are very cool about this sort of thing. They would give you the name of the city, but most of them don't even know how plates are organized.
I have even 'verified' the localizer freq for people. I know what was going on, so do most of you, but what am I gonna do? Drive out...
Let's say KNEW only has non precision approaches due to equipment problems. You go missed, wouldn't it be nice to stay within a few pages and find the approaches for Moissant? or Louis Armstrong, whatever we call it now.
Now, worst case scenario, someone fairly inexperienced goes missed of...
Yeah, we have intrail reaching way the hell out there, but it only takes one emergency to shut down a runway or worse have someone whisper the dread windshear word.
As far as URET, we don't have it yet, so I have no comment. Should get here in the next few months.
I guess it depends on the arrival your inbound on. We hold on the sinca every day seems like. Macey rarely holds. Of course they have 3 times the volume on that arrival too.
We were talking at work today about the amount of hold we do in Atlanta. Someone said we are the last of the busy facilities that goes to holding several times every day. That Houston, Chicago and all the northeast airports don't hold at all, unless the airport get shut down for some reason or...
Also try to explain how an airplane moves around its axis. From the cabin, being on the inside of a turn tends to feel like being dropped to somepeople. At high pitch angles, low to the ground and all that engines noise, its makes people very nervous.
Yes, I must be clueless. I am, of course, not referring to 121 or 135 ops. We are talking singles here. Gramps flying around without a clue.
From now on I will full dissolve and dilute my posts as to eliminate any confussion.
Its not just VFR PPs though. I can't tell you how often I clear people for a visual approach after they call the field in sight and they won't cancel. I work several uncontrolled fields where my frequencies won't work on the ground, so after they read back the 'cleared visual approach' part; I...
I think it sounds like that due to the counter rotating props. Would be hard to imagine an a/c with performace numbers like that turning a prop 1000 rpm.
