If any of you guys were inbound/outbound to KATL last night around 10-11......
That was me on the visual for 26Right in my speedy 172 chicken-hawk:D
Call sign was: Niner-Alpha-Fox |
LoL Tryin' to play w/the Big Boys, eh?! :-P

Just keep the speed up and you will fit right in! What kind of reaction did you get from ATC? They are usually pretty accomodating at that time of the night. Next time you land there on 26R, request a taxi on "Dixie" for a departure to the south on 27R. It may take an hour or more, but you will get to taxi with the big guys! or maybe they will tell you "unable" (code word for 'get the $#@% out of here.......and do it fast!'). Have fun!

I was 117 knots on short final, no flaps of course:D..........talk about a float in ground effect....probably used as much runway as a CRJ, probably was the same speed on short final as Acey's ATR's:D |
117!? Rookies
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 |
