That was a great video. I’m sure I would learn a lot if I were to watch more of these.

Hi there

 

1. & 2. No reservations, first come first served. There is NEVER a problem with space though you might not be near a fire pit.

3.  If it is hot in the Valley we typically have a marine layer.  Make sure to use the webcams: oceanoairport.com/webcams.html  Our AWOS is being installed which will be a big help.

4.  There is the Rock n Roll Diner, a Mexican Restaurant and Beach Burger all within walking distance, but why not borrow one of our bikes?  The unicom unlocks the lock. There are three bikes in the storage shed.  If you can donate a few bucks in the bucket that is great.

Pointers....  2325 on the runway length.  Fly your numbers.  There is an RV storage lot at the end of 29.  This means you are all set up like a rockstar thinking "This is gonna be SO sweet" then you get the heat off the roofs and it burbles you around. 

 

Call me if you need anything else. Though I will be in OSH...

 

The answers to the questions were precise and straight to the point. Thanks for sharing, mooneygirl!

Being an airline pilot, I fly these descend via stars all the time. In regards to your second question, crossing SSOLO at 17 is perfectly fine since you are cleared to descend to the lowest altitude, at your discretion, of the waypoint you're cleared to or of the first waypoint with an altitude restriction when given the descend via clearance. The speeds on that arrival are mandatory unless given a different speed from ATC when they give you the descend via clearance. In regards to the note about it being only for turbojet or turboprop aircraft, ATC should NOT have assigned this arrival to you. Since you were flying and obviously not expecting to receive this, I would honestly file a NASA ASRS report to cover yourself incase the FAA reviews the ATCs actions since we know he shouldn't have assigned this to you. Hope this helps out and makes sense.

Hmm, I didn't know that the speeds on the arrival are mandatory. I'm really learning a lot from this thread.

Wow! Those custom chocks absolutely look great.

Welcome back, paulie! It's great to have you with us again.

I think once you get accustomed to Florida you're used to the fact that you can have clear sky's ahead and look behind you and there are massive cells forming behind you.

I guess this is one statement I can very much agree with.

Watching this made me feel nervous, but I guess Kristoffer is an expert flier, so there would be nothing to worry about. 

Man, watching those videos really made me feel as if I'm part of the flight. Thanks for sharing, jackn! 

Those are great videos, Yetti! Thanks for sharing them with us.

Don't know where bad is, but my wife said I'm the ugly.  

Hahaha! This cracked me up. But seriously, it isn't really as bad as it looks.

Welcome aboard, FB.

Best regards,

Thank you very much, carusoam! 

Hello, everyone! Newbie here. I'm glad to have found this great community of fliers. Being in the air has always amazed me ever since I was a kid. My uncle would take me and my brother for a ride in his Mooney. Being in this community reminds me a lot of our adventures, bless his soul. I'm hoping to own one someday, but for now, it's all about the learning curve. Cheers, everyone!
