In the "Ask me your hardest checkride question thread"
I asked about the *L in the airport data block.
it was answered correctly "Lighting Limitations exist"
The often correct but wrong answer is it has Pilot Controlled Lighting. the *L does not mean that even though that is often the limitation it refers to.
The examiner I often use tells the story of checking the chart supplement and it said " call xxx-xxx-xxxx for information" So he called and they asked when are you arriving he said 11pm. the responded with, we will set the timer to turn the lights on at 10:30 and turn them off at 11:30. Make sure you arrive during that time frame.
I suspect some limitations might be we turn the lights off from 11pm to 5am or something like that but don't know of any specific examples.
What examples can you provide, of airports with unusual lighting limitations?
