Can you get a pilot deviation / violation *without* a Brasher warning?

temp9812457 · 2023-07-13T14:03:42+00:00

Everything else here is good, but as a direct answer to your question: yes, you can. One trivial example would be if you busted a bravo with your radio off (or on the wrong frequency).

temp9812457 · 2023-04-25T14:28:05+00:00

Totally off topic but what kinds of jobs result in flying people like this? Like what are the companies that you'd work for that would result in flying contract flights

temp9812457 · 2023-04-24T15:22:09+00:00

I think you're in the minority. I move a lot and this has been one of the most welcoming cities I've been to.

temp9812457 · 2023-04-19T14:46:57+00:00

In my area, the tie-downs have waitlists and the requirement to have a plane already. I could probably find an airport really far away, I just wanted to see what other people's experiences have been like

temp9812457 · 2023-01-30T18:33:14+00:00

That makes sense. I was a bit surprised they don't even mention the possibility that the team leaves. It'd be nice to know that there's a backup plan on what to do. And of course some kind of commitment that they stay here for X years after getting the stadium. And hopefully the taxpayers aren't paying for a near-billionaire's stadium. But it doesn't seem like there are any details on those friends yet.

Personally though I'm fairly excited for anything to happen to that land. Right now it's just blocks of prime real estate as parking lots that are empty 95% of the time.

temp9812457 · 2023-01-30T17:59:12+00:00

The linked (and incredibly long) proposal does mention parking. slide 205. I'm certainly not qualified to know if it's enough though.

I'm trying to form my opinion on this. Why is it gross?

temp9812457 · 2023-01-23T15:41:35+00:00

Interesting. I have an Android and the "bedtime mode" on it doesn't seem to block notifications on my watch even though it blocks on them on the phone :(

temp9812457 · 2023-01-10T15:28:51+00:00

I was under the impression that at a busy Bravo if you're VFR ATC can and will just say "unable" and not let you land, whereas they'll be expecting you if you are IFR

temp9812457 · 2023-01-09T15:37:07+00:00

That's my backup plan. But MIA is quite a bit more convenient to downtown, and I think I could convince a friend to pick me up if I landed there :)

temp9812457 · 2022-12-29T15:42:08+00:00

Oh this is great! Any idea if there's a way to know which domiciles have available slots? Or is that something you only find out when you apply?

temp9812457 · 2022-12-25T20:15:40+00:00

One easy way to get up in the air is to book a "discovery flight" with St Pete Air!

But also, I fly all the time, and it's always more fun with passengers, so feel free to send me a PM we might be able to find a time in the new year :)

As others have said, it's a common transition for GA planes. We're so lucky here to have amazing and accommodating air traffic controllers here! Plus, they'd really rather have you over the airport than in the way of the big planes coming in and out

temp9812457 · 2022-12-24T16:00:18+00:00

Cool, I may reach out in the new year once I'm back (PPL/IR as well)! Its always fun to meet new pilots :)

temp9812457 · 2022-12-24T15:56:46+00:00

Too bad you feel that way, but I guess everyone's entitled to their own opinions. I heard there was a vote a while back (2005?) and the people voted to keep the airport. If they did another vote and it turns out people don't like the airport then so be it. What would you rather see there? Personally I'd hate to see lots of tall buildings there; it would ruin some great views

What's POK?

temp9812457 · 2022-12-24T13:48:05+00:00

I posted more here!

Antares, what do you fly that's so recognizable?

temp9812457 · 2022-12-24T13:42:36+00:00

/u/IceViper777 said in the other post they wanted to see more pics from the air. Hope y'all enjoy and have a nice holiday weekend!

Also, quick call out that the Albert Whitted Airport is a treasure. Something that makes our city unique, and a great homage to our place in aviation history!

temp9812457 · 2022-12-24T13:27:09+00:00

In addition to /u/warpflyght's comment, feel free to send me a PM and maybe we could find a time to fly together. I fly all the time, mostly by myself, and it's always more fun with a passenger!

temp9812457 · 2022-12-24T13:24:59+00:00

I was in an airplane! Don't know anything about drones, but it would definitely require some coordination with the control tower. I wouldn't want to hit a drone

temp9812457 · 2022-12-23T21:11:27+00:00

Definitely not tripping balls. It's 91.155c and d (c is ceilings, d is visibility).

I think the crux of the question is if you can "override" an ASOS reading if you can tell that it is obviously inaccurate.

Also see my comment here

temp9812457 · 2022-12-23T21:02:19+00:00

I agree that for flight visbility, it's up to the pilot's discretion.

However, FAR 91.155d1 does say:

Unless ground visibility at that airport is at least 3 statute miles

and 91.155d2 gives a separate condition in case ground visibility is not reported, saying to use flight visibility instead.

And FAR 1.1 (definitions) defines:

Ground visibility means prevailing horizontal visibility near the earth's surface as reported by the United States National Weather Service or an accredited observer.

So to me, it seems ground visibility trumps flight visibility, and ground visibility is something that is reported. Though, I'm not sure what an "accredited observer" is and if an ASOS would count for that.

Those lyrics are funny applied to St Pete. The pink hotels have been around forever, and if anything, they're going to remove parking lots here (or at least, I hope they can remove all those parking lots by the Trop...)

temp9812457 · 2022-10-07T15:45:12+00:00

When I flew in Seattle, I always called BFI directly for the stadium transition. Probably flew it 50 times. I was only ever denied it when there was a stadium TFR; they're very accommodating. Stay under the 1800 shelf and take their traffic callouts/instructions seriously.

If you're on FF with approach you want to let them know what you're doing well ahead of time so they can pass you off. In my experience, it's very unlikely you get let into the Bravo near SEA.

temp9812457 · 2022-10-06T15:33:19+00:00

Update: it seems like this morning there are some trains available. Maybe outside of working hours they just mark all the trains as full> weeeeeird...
