Controllers love pilots like you; no delay on the calls, crisp and clean read-backs, and able to hustle across an active runway without hesitation - the controller knew he could count on you to do that, that’s why he asked - if it was someone else, maybe not. Great video Owen! New subscriber.

I worked near LAX in the 1980s and watched planes from my office window. Smaller planes usually came in high but I never knew why. You explained at 16:40 that you were coming in high and landing long to stay above the previous plane's wake, which makes perfect sense and explains what I saw 40 years ago and didn't know the reason for. Thanks very much for a fine video.

ATCo from Europe here. You asked yourself, if ATC would prefere you flying IFR or VFR. When you have a slow aircraft between all the airliner jets, you want the slow aircraft as close as possible to the runway threshold, so when you turn the slow guy in, you block the final for the shortest time possible. The easiest way to do that, would be VFR. So yes: From my perspective as an approach controller, I would prefere VFR. Makes things much easier :-)

either way you have to sequence them unless you are relying upon visual separation. wake turbulence still exists.

I have found flying into KATL, that as a GA aircraft (I fly a Piper Dakota) that we just keep best forward speed and are able to slot us in pretty easy. I normally will file IFR and from the direction I typically arrive, I know I am probably getting 26R or 08L depending on winds (closest runway to Signature FBO to get me off the runway and out of the way of the big boys) and I will file to set me up for vectors to final pretty easy. The biggest thing is keeping track of all the frequencies (LOL).

Flew my C182 into LAX several years ago to haul some other pilots from Chino to recover some war birds that were on display at the old West Imperial Terminal. Also did a photo flight using a B-25 as a camera plane back when I was flying second in command in it. I know that class B like the back of my hand. Used to work at LAX back in the 70s and early 80s. Lots has changed since then. I’m surprised they landed you in the north complex since you most likely were going to the FBO on the south side.

@gendaminoru3195 Жыл бұрын

I worked at LAX and flew my Cherokee into there just for yuks one time. Too much taxi abuse to do it again though. But it was fun aiming for touchdown 1/3 way down 25L and getting the first high speed. ATC was great. Remember the old commuter terminal / pad where the Bradley building is now. Goldenwest Otters and Shorts skyboxes, and Skywest Metros, and even Cochise Navajos going to the desert. You know back when MD-80s were "quiet." You could get off 25L and climb over the fog bank coming in over the shoreline and go back to TOR VFR. Those were the days.

@harsep Жыл бұрын

Was there any cost to land and drop off passenger pilots at the W imperial Terminal since you didn't have to tie down there for any length of time?
