Went into MDW at about 800pm on a Thursday night in a 172. That was fun. They weren;t thrilled with the request for a Touch and go.
|
I used to go into PIT all the time in a cessna it was the most fun ever coming in at 140 then doing a low approach at 120 eating up all 8000+ feet of runway. One night i was up there for an hour doing touch and goes in the duchess on 28L what a great expierence.

step 1: fly down the pipe at the yellow arc (higher if the air is smooth) all the way down to the approach lights. step 2: put the plane into a full slip but hold glide path so you are using the drag to reduce speed and not lose altitude. step 3: once the airspeed is around 110 put in full flaps and roll out of the slip as the flaps are extending making sure to abide by "slips with flaps are not reccomended" step 4: land the airplane somewhere around 80 which should give you just enough float to not land that sweet short field landing on the numbers of your favorite class B and then taxi 4000' to the first exit at 5 knots giving thumbsup to all of the jets holding short for your "sweet" perfect short field landing right on the numbers It makes controllers happy when you say you can give them 140 on an approach in a skychicken disclaimer: please do not attempt this if it is beyond your ability, and not reccomended in actual unless you have more ifr experience than the 3 hours in the hood you got for your private .... just like the old days! God, I miss doing stuff like that!! :D |

Did you come down from KPRC? God I miss that place! |
I shot ILS 25L in PHX at 1 am at 200 kts (Vne 202) in a Piper Seminole, leveled off at 25' screaming down the runway at full throttle, pulled up into a high speed climb (around 20-25 degrees of pitch) while rolling the plane into a 30 degree right hand turn in the direction of Squaw Peak back towards Deer Valley Airport. The controller wanted Max forward speed so I gave it to him. That was definitely one of the most memorable approached I’ve ever shot. The trick is to keep a little nose up trim when you level off so that the airplane wants to climb, just incase something happens.
PS. Don't try this unless you’re a highly skilled pilot and even then think it through. |
Flew the pattern on 22R in DTW in a 150 at around 10pm... it was awesome!

A tower controller from DTW used to hang out at our FBO occasionally and BS. He told me that they have huge pushes and then they usually twiddle their thumbs for a couple hours until the next push. He told me anytime I wanted to come down and do touch and gos in my 150 just give him a call and he could give me the right time to do it. He said they regulary had guys do patterns in the middle of the day as long as they weren't busy. Never actually did it, but it would have been fun.

Nothing like an actual demonstration of Class Bravo airspace operations to a student.:D
