Oh yeah and that place runs great!!!Indypilot said:...it will be more of a continous flow like at ORD.
We do it every day at CVG and nobody says a word about it. Any ATC folks have the reference that says we need a special clearance to exit at a reverse high speed taxi way??rubberducky said:Once you pass a taxiway, you need an ATC clearance to execute a reverse or 180 on the runway. If she just said "Cleared to land 1L" then you are not authorized to use the reverse. She doesn't have to specify "don't use the reverse high speed..." But I know who you mean she is a bitch!!!
Just cause you do it every day doesn't mean that its correct. See above for reference or AIM 4-3-20.j41driver said:We do it every day at CVG and nobody says a word about it. Any ATC folks have the reference that says we need a special clearance to exit at a reverse high speed taxi way??
Poppycock. Another case of IAD controllers being completely out of touch with reality. I can prove geometrically that an aircraft did not "reverse course on the runway" by exiting on a high-speed. The AIM is not regulatory anyway, so it's not like they can violate you by using this paragraph. Unless you purposefully disregard an instructon from them NOT to use the reverse, they can cry to you about it but the argument has no teeth.rubberducky said:
You make my point for me. Anyway I asked IAD Tower this exact question about the reverse issue. They told me that "if you turn past 90 degrees on the runway to clear that is considered reversing course and therefore you need permission". I KNOW IAD Tower can't be wrong....riiigghtt
First off, I agree that IAD sucks. And I also agree that the AIM is not regulatory. But let’s look at this realistically. Lets say you make the reverse without IAD specifically saying you can (whether it’s required or not), and something happens to your aircraft. Any number of things in this scenario could cause an accident or incident (i.e., another plane on the parallel runs into you for example). Do you really think that the FAA wouldn't violate you for failure to comply with an ATC clearance? It’s happened before. They would simply find a part that this could fall under. Reckless operation comes to mindrptrain said:Poppycock. Another case of IAD controllers being completely out of touch with reality.

link to a discussion about this issue (note: conclusion is that unless SPECIFICALLY prohibited, via published or verbal instructions, it's not an unauthorized maneuver)

sorry to obsess so much, but IAD pisses me off.
You're really grasping at straws now. "Any number of things" could go wrong if you take the reverse highspeed??? YGTBSM. Dude, if you can't make a 135 degree turn without breaking something or hurting someone, you have no business piloting any airplane whatsoever. Don't expand the scope of the discussion just to rationalize it. I didn't say "blindly come whipping around the reverse highspeed without any regard for what might be in your way." That's quite obviously reckless, just as ignoring an ATC instruction would be. Yet there's no reasonable way to argue that the basic maneuver of exiting on a reverse highspeed, in and of itself, in the absence of a specific prohibition, is unauthorized.rubberducky said:First off, I agree that IAD sucks.
