If you are coming into land and it’s snowing and you turn off the runway before tower gives you instructions and you turn off into a closed taxiway (just because a taxiway is closed doesn’t mean it will barricaded) you just made a violation. I have heard of people being violated for this. Just one example.
Your probably the kinda of person I hear on the radio ask for the ILS to a runway at the last minute and the control says “it’s NOTAMED out of service” then there’s an awkward silence.
Ah we’d get along great! But you’re right guys. Always room for self improvement especially for safety. Thanks for the insight. I’ll take a closer look at the FOM.
