When you fly into an airport you are unfamiliar with, how do you know where to park? I know where to park at my home airport, because I rent an airplane, and I just put the airplane back where I picked it up from. The only airports I have actually landed at, and then got out of the airplane and walked around were small sleepy non-towered airports.
So, if you come into a busy(ish) airport, and ground clears you to the ramp, how do you know where to go to park? I am sure there are designated temporary places to park an airplane, but how do you know where they are? Do I need to call up the FBO?
It's funny that you spend all this time learning how to fly an airplane, and learning about airport operations, but then it will be the simplest thing that you don't know how to do. Where do I park?
