Anyone arguing Sky's points about traffic patterns better take a look at 91.126 (b) and 91.127 (b). Those are FARs and are madatory.
Sky, that University has a furloughed 121 pilot, an Alaska bush pilot, an Idaho bush pilot and a retired 121 pilot. Three of which are part of that EAA chapter. I think there is some good experience there.
Right on,
Entering a pattern is regulated.
What university are we talking about?
PS
SkyHigh,
It's ERAU not ERU.. My god get it right or you could cause thousands of dollars in leather jacket damage. All of those poor little ERAU students crying, think of the water damage those kids could do to their "Top Gun" jackets.
I have a non flying degree from ERAU I got my degree there after I had all my ratings a bit later in life than most kids after I'd flown professionally for some years.
I went to Prescott 1989/90. Top gun style jackets and crotch rockets were all the rage at that time. Hilarious seeing a kid who hasn't even soloed yet wearing a leather campaign jacket with Tomcat patches and all!!
(Anytime baby!!) YGTBFSM!!
