Every year, we have to do a hand flown single engine ILS to minimums so I’m not sure if they’re joking or if they just bust their PC/MV every year.
Depends on the obstacle environment, and the availability of places to land if conditions deteriorate.So what's your point. As a VFR pilot you'd have to be nuts to fly in 1000/3'. Just cuz its legal doesn't mean it's sane.
Missed my airline flight to work, so had to 172 myself from Lincoln to NYC.
Yeah I was kinda thinking the same. According to what I read later, it had the standard six pack. When I was speaking to the reporter, he was asking me about the cockpit instrumentation and whether the plane had GPS, etc.I’m sure it’s mildly a joke. Never flown an airline obviously but there could also be a learning curve going from a nice GPS glass panel to a six pack and king KLN gps. Not sure what the 172 had.
LOL.Maybe he realized what the landing fees would be for making JFK and figured the insurance deductible would be cheaper
I assume you mean landing and fbo fees as the landing fee for a light ga ac is about $28LOL.
Several years ago, I wanted to visit TEB from FRG just for the heck of it, and pickup my daughter and her husband (newlyweds) for a scenic flight over NYC.
Thought it would be nice to land and visit the airport that I learn to fly at, back in 1998 (there were about three flight schools on the field at the time...none now).
Found out that the landing fee would be around 90 bucks!!!
Contacted the airport manager via email and asked about an employee discount (same agency). She said "unable", so I said... ok, thanks for replying to my email. Told my daughter and son-in-law to meet me at Essex Co. (Caldwell Airport). I think the landing fee was about $10, which was waived since I got a fuel top-off.
Thanks but No-Thanks Teterboro. We had a great flight from Caldwell.
No way I want to be under that kind a pressure on TV talking about what how a Commercial 737 pilot screwed up so bad![]()
Yes, I forgot the FBO that I called at the time, but I told them my intentions of landing and picking up family. If I recall correctly, I was told it would be $90 (or maybe they said $60). Whichever, I'm not paying that for a ten to fifteen minute stop, just to pickup two people and depart. I like TEB, but not that much!I assume you mean landing and fbo fees as the landing fee for a light ga ac is about $28
Yeah I guess I could have told them to blank/conceal my face during the interview. That way if I made an ass out of myself, like we do here sometimes, no one would be able to identify me and I'd spare my family the embarrassment.We do it all the time here on POA!![]()
Is this actually possible to do with a 150 under VFR? I mean, is it sane to plan a flight to JFK at midnight and expect to get clearance to land in a plane doing sub 100kts. Is there anywhere to stop and get out (even just to take a leak (tarmac or John) or stretch your legs) without paying an FBO fee? It sounds like a fun one time experience for sure and it is only 40 minutes from me.After 10PM JFK landing fee is quite reasonable. And it's possible to land and get out there without paying an FBO gouge if you don't need services.
Hmm. Wonder if they'd allow a XXX-JFK-LGA-EWR-XXX flightIs this actually possible to do with a 150 under VFR?

Dream on. IMO, if you don't have real business there, take a simulator. In my days in and out of JFK there wasn't even an FBO, just the port authority's office, a noisy, windy ramp and a ton of jumbo jets circling around like elephants in a circus. You don't really want to go there.Hmm. Wonder if they'd allow a XXX-JFK-LGA-EWR-XXX flightJust to say you've done it
And how bad it would hurt the wallet
Absolutely. As long as you have decent radio skills they generally allow you to land and taxi back around for take off. Lga the same. As long as it's late, like after midnight.Is this actually possible to do with a 150 under VFR?

I've done it. No big deal. JFK I actually flew in several times. Once in an Aztec VFR at 430 pm on a Sunday. At first they didn't wanna let me in but after some arm twisting they obliged.Hmm. Wonder if they'd allow a XXX-JFK-LGA-EWR-XXX flightJust to say you've done it

This one was an Airbus and it didn't crash. Being new, you may have made a wrong turn. Welcome just the same!New member here,
Signed up just to put an end to the B737 rated pilot false information. The accident pilot's name on record with the FAA is Dong il, with a space between the two words. Look it up, you guys will find someone with a CURRENT medical with very RECENT certifications.
You're ok. I made a wrong turn. Or else, I made a wrong turn TOO!. No Airbus or B737 here.I don't get it... lol
I'm not sure that you followed the entire thread but it was reported that the accident pilot had a b737 type rating. Boom took the time to sign up and let us know that the name was misspelled and he actually was a recently certificated commercial pilot.This one was an Airbus and it didn't crash.

Yeah, I welcomed him here. Just thought I did it in the wrong thread. Thought he was referring to the Ethiopian pilot in the 737. Too many threads for me to keep straight. Sorry.I'm not sure that you followed the entire thread but it was reported that the accident pilot had a b737 type rating.

Yes I flew my Mooney into Boston (KBOS) for an Angel Flight. About 5 mi out the controller told me to keep up 180 knots... Heavy aircraft behind me...My first trip to a busy Charlie, as both a new pilot and a new Mooney owner, I didn't drop the gear until short final (gear up to keep my speed up, with a wide-body breathing down my neck), then had to add power on the ground to expedite myself to the first exit 3000' away . . . .
