Hard to see in a jet (at an unfamiliar airport) at 600' 2 miles from the airport. Some aircraft like the C750 are very restricted in crosswinds (less than 4 degrees bank at times), that's why we ask on short final. Some airports don't locate windsocks anywhere near the landing threshold.Vector4fun said:"Wind Check"...It's the old fashioned wind sock. There's usually one near each end of the runway. If you want a "real-time" wind check most appropriate to your runway, this is what you should use.
Instructors, it's not really cool for your X-Country students to be doing this either, but they do. Pseudo formations a half mile apart, following a leader from airport to airport.
TCAS.
The fact that you see a target on TCAS is of no benefit to the controller what-so-ever. I also assure you, the target you see is sometimes not the same target I see.
...when we say "Maintain visual separation", we really also mean maintain TCAS separation too.
I'm glad somebody said that. I'm trying to break some F/O's of the habit.Vector4fun said:"I got 'em on TCAS" means nothing to me operationally.
