Final Approach
A uhhhum good friend was flying his Baron into Rockford (RFD) recently on the ILS07 approach. Broke out about 900 feet high, checked in with tower and asked to land long for North American (FBO).
The runway is 10,000 feet long. Pilot intended to land at taxiway M about 3,000 feet down and turn right on angled taxiway G about another 3,000 feet down the runway (like a high speed taxiway in that its a 45 degree right). No other traffic on that runway.
Tower replies, No! Don't land long!
Pilot says, I would like to land near taxiway Mike and right on Gulf for North American.
Tower say: No! Don't land long.
So, what would you do in that situation?
Best,
Dave
