Since the sign is maybe 300 yards from the numbers on Rwy 25, the vanes
graphically illustrate why learning the art of landing takes so long...


On a return from a recent flight, I was instructed to enter the pattern
for runway 22 right.. Before I entered the pattern, I was instructed
to enter the pattern for 4 right, since the directions were changing.
As I entered final, I was instructed to switch to 4 left.

Sometimes landing isn't so hard as just getting to the correct piece of
real estate....


CHD did similar to me today...

1st T/G on 4L .. Make left traffic on the go (after I asked which way they
wanted me to go .. on the go...)
2nd T/G sidestep to 4R and contact tower on 133.1 when able...
3rd+ T/Gs on 4R

Yer not kidding about hitting the right piece of real estate.

I swear they do it on purpose sometimes just to see who's paying attention.

:O)
