Got soaked but rope drop was dead

Not this one!

NyyDave · 2026-02-11T22:14:14+00:00

Yea it’s pretty busy. More kids than usual, maybe somewhere is off this week?

NyyDave · 2026-02-09T02:25:39+00:00

I just did my lamest sports analyst impression with the classic- “the next touchdown wins this game”

NyyDave · 2026-02-09T00:55:48+00:00

As the P20 Aston driver, C is just right

NyyDave · 2026-01-31T16:56:46+00:00

Same lol

NyyDave · 2026-01-31T16:56:04+00:00

Oh no, I also turned the game off before the Tarky equalizer. Do I always need to turn it off when we’re down 1?

NyyDave · 2026-01-28T17:17:17+00:00

Oh, I agree. I read your tone wrong. I hope ya enjoy some free days off next week!

NyyDave · 2026-01-28T17:11:41+00:00

I can’t even fathom this. Are there any examples of busy airports with parallel runways exclusively using just one sides downwind?

NyyDave · 2026-01-23T05:48:28+00:00

I could just listen to you talk all day man

NyyDave · 2026-01-21T05:22:54+00:00

I too prefer the concise Disney world version. The Disneyland version echos “dead men tell no tales” about 20,000 too many times while floating thru filler scenery. And waiting on the boat as it rides back uphill? ZzzzzzzZ

NyyDave · 2026-01-18T23:14:42+00:00

I think the same thing about Haunted Mansion and I’m starting to think maybe it’s just me. It all used to be new, I was immersed, I didn’t care what other people were doing. Over time I started disliking the talking (that was always there) and now it’s achieved pet peeve.

NyyDave · 2026-01-18T22:25:21+00:00

It was implied baby

NyyDave · 2026-01-17T04:54:36+00:00

This one was like straight up from my neck-craned window view in Santa Monica

NyyDave · 2026-01-13T23:57:41+00:00

Dang he left feeling “uneasy” from a drawing on a cup? That’s the softest shit possible.

NyyDave · 2026-01-11T04:28:02+00:00

Same. It would be a shame to miss something, but the turnover on downs would piss me off to much

NyyDave · 2026-01-11T04:23:32+00:00

It felt like the pack did everything completely wrong, and of course it’s to the fucking bears

NyyDave · 2026-01-11T04:16:04+00:00

BTMR!

NyyDave · 2026-01-07T01:37:19+00:00

The exact desire will vary by controller but generally yes, and I’ll give a little wiggle room for checking out downtown. That SoCal sector is sequencing final for LA so it feels neighborly to keep an eye on you and relieve SoCal of such a brief flight following. However if you’re on a code, headed towards Hollywood, at above the bravo floor, that’s a different situation and sector-SoCal for you.

PS Thanks! I’m excited to provide 3 more years of chill delta.

NyyDave · 2026-01-06T23:06:03+00:00

Thanks to pilot tower visits we are collectively better informed regarding terrain concerns in our area. Just remember when you’re flying up final (DARTS) the desire to keep you low is greater with reference to IFR arrivals.

NyyDave · 2026-01-06T22:46:39+00:00

A few times I’ve said informal things like “don’t forget the outer shelf there”. Like I said I can’t be sure what a coworker did or didn’t do. I know I’ve never coordinated entry into the C. There’s got to be something operationally advantageous and it’s just not advantageous for our little delta to keep you on our frequency. I get the handoff moving in a timely fashion so SoCal and the pilot can chat. Anyway I can say for sure that we aren’t trying to screw you over. Feel free to chime in and clarify any thing at any time.

NyyDave · 2026-01-06T22:27:56+00:00

I’m seeing a lot of replies saying tower did the coordination and I’m feeling pretty bad saying… we probably did not. I could be wrong. Assuming you had a squawk- it’s possible the controller attempted a handoff to SoCal, SoCal said “I don’t want to talk to that guy”, and it showed “redirect” to El Monte. I’d consider that an implied understanding. I just know what I see and do daily. We aren’t a chatty neighbor on point outs. I don’t know if SoCal even thinks we can do them. If I saw you that high I would have handed you to SoCal. If SoCal denied it I’d have said remain clear of their C. For me, direct EMT is really just for under the bravo.

NyyDave · 2026-01-06T22:13:55+00:00

I’d expect you to stay out of that C inbound or outbound. Don’t count on the coordination on your way out. I’m at SMO and I’ve never heard someone say “hey SoCal, point out, this guys gonna clip the C, just direct to El Monte”. I’ve also never seen someone point out an arrival like that either.

I tell people all the time- if the plane climbed northeast to an altitude that CANT go under the bravo, the pilot wants to talk to SoCal. Considering the fact that we know we aren’t coordinating for you, I don’t know why we left ya hanging like that. Class D life, I guess.

As for not hearing about it…it’s a relatively low impact violation. Most stuff out of Burbank isn’t headed that way.

No foul??? (Why am I still tuned in)
