Pattern Altitude
From the airport where you train?
~10 miles... Just NW of Krum, TX.
Whatcha trying to find out?
20 miles north or south, but the south has higher terrain, hundreds of very large wind turbines and a bunch of 1000' radio towers so we usually go north.
GKY? There is a pilot here that got his multi there. He joked that it was so busy/crazy there that some of the students said that stood for "go kill yourself". I've only flown into Meacham and Addison so I'm not real familiar with the other airports in DFW.
Yep, that's pretty much what Cade said. Scary.
But he went to ATP. Got finished in something like 5.6 hrs. Doesn't seem enough to really get it but I don't nuthin about multi engine training except that at this DA here no one would want to do the engine out exercises.
~~~~~~. Well, the area that we've been using here at alpine is about 13-15 miles and I was wondering if that seemed too far. There is another area that's closer but much more constrained by ridges/mountains.
Kimberly - were you out yesterday about noon in the 152?
I think we were coming down the taxiway when you were heading out.

No matter the distance, don't ever think you're somehow "protected" in "what everybody knows is the practice area!"
