Switching from ground to tower?

[midlifeflyer]

oh ok. Been to both places many times, never heard that.

I can't give you the number for ORL (AFAIK there isn't one), but listen to the ATIS at Centennial.

303-799-6722

The testier the "special procedures in effect" language sounds, the more people missed or didn't listen to that part of the standard APA broadcast that day.

I fly into & out of Orlando Exec regularly. For at least the last year (when I started flying into the place) the ATIS has specified to report ready to Ground. Ground then instructs you to monitor Tower. Tower will call you when they're ready to give you further instructions.

KPDK as well

PDK has had the 'contact ground when run-up complete' for the past two years. Then when you do contact ground they'll say to monitor (not contact) tower on 120.9. It basically reduces the congestion on the tower frequency.
