I live right next to the PDX base and was wondering if it would be a good idea to try and go in for a visit, tell them I'm a local low time pilot just interested in checking out their base and maybe talking to a few pilots. What kind of response do you think I'll get? I am planning on calling the base but I wanted to try and get some opinions on here before I do.
Also, does anyone have any info on AMF and hazardous cargo? One of their B1900 guys I met told me that certain runs haul some items that could be potentially bad for your health. Anyone else heard or know anything about this?
Thanks!
Go ahead and give them a call. Ask for the ACP.
As for hazmat, yes, we haul hazmat cargo. As for "bad for your health", a lot of it, if it were to spill or something, would fall into this category. But if you follow proper procedures, there is no problem.
