Pre-Flight
Friend and I are looking to fly into SAN on Friday late afternoon/early evening for the experience. Neither of us have instrument ratings or have been into a class B airport so we're somewhat apprehensive but we've heard/been told that SAN is one of the easier class B airports to get into. Both of us did our training in Los Angeles so we're familiar in congested airspace and we'll be coming in from the north.
My friend is doing the flying portion and I'll be handling the radios. What can we expect in terms of getting in and out? Is it similar to a class C airport, minus needing the 'cleared into the class bravo'?
There's only one FBO there, Landmark, so we'll end up parking there for the day and then departing later into the night, weather permitting. What sort of fees are we looking at? Any must-visit places for our short stay in San Diego?
Any tips, comments, advice, etc. is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
