Never looked at a flag on the way in? Which way are the trees blowing?
Who needs a wind sock?






If we took your
suggestions, and did not announce clear of active at small fields, than you
would get a bunch of pilots trained on small fields not announcing clear of
active when they flew into large controlled fields when it is necessary.

Do not ever report clear of the active at a controlled field unless
requested by the tower.



This logic is the same reason I do my GUMPS check even when flying fixed
gear aircraft.

That's not logic at all.
