Pressure Alt Conversion
#11
No, I fly out of a couple of fields around ATL. I keep my Swift at a little strip on the NW side of town, (47A). I was just looking for a chart to illustrate the arc and DAB is one I found.
I used to fly in there occasionally when I was with the airlines and before that, I diverted in there one very late night or very early morning. We were doing night freight and the one time we didn't check the fuel caps after we had been refueled... we were climbing out of Orlando executive and noted a fuel imbalance with the right tank showing low. A quick check out the window showed we were venting. We dropped into Daytona, stopped, the copilot jumped out, locked the cap and we made it back home close to schedule. That was a long time ago so I can tell the story with some immunity.
You did ERAU outta DAB?
