Default One Six Right

it's the history of Van Nuys Airport. Thus, unless
you're familiar with the airport--I'm not--it can be a little boring.


Interesting. When I visited California about 10 years ago, I wanted to
rent a plane and fly so I went to Van Nuys to be checked out. The
check-pilot made me do so many landings in every configuration, plus
local airspace familiarization, that the checkride was just under 3
hours. I definitely felt he was bleeding me. When I (finally) got
signed off, I was too damn tired to rent and go flying, and I left LA 2
days later.

We used runway one six LEFT the whole time.
