Cleared for Takeoff
Is there a generally accepted process for recommending a runway change at a busy uncontrolled field?
The other day I was getting ready to fly and I noticed people were using the runway that was contrary to the winds. There were a couple of planes in the pattern and a couple getting ready to fly.
Since I was flying a LSA, and therefore very sensitive to the winds, I wanted to use the runway that favored the winds.
How should I suggest the runway change without making enemies? Get the Unicom operator to make an announcement?
