How many people know it's not mandatory? Did you know it's not mandatory
before joining this thread? Does the airport manager know it's not
mandatory? Why was it written to appear as though it is mandatory?
Oh for Christ's sake, what the hell does it matter and who gives a
damn?
It matters to me. You can answer at least one of those questions, please
do.
Actually, if you are no-radio, they are the only ways you can get in and
out legally, but I digress.
I have no idea what percentage of all pilots know that local VFR procedures
are not mandatory nor what percentage of all pilots know that part 150
procedures are, and it makes no difference to the arguement of whether or
not following local VFR procedures are safe.
Yes.
Yes.
It is not.
FYI, the CCB procedure, both on the web site and on the printed copy
at the FBO say "suggested VFR" at the top.
The signs in the runup area say "Please".
I haven't been to the FBO or the runup area, but that's not what's on the
web site. The online procedures state at the top:
Cable Airport VFR Noise Abatement
Arrival and Departures
The runway 24 procedure has "suggested phraseology for flying in and out of
Cable Airport", and beneath a separator the runway 6 procedure has
"suggested VFR procedures for departures to the south or entries from the
south".
Oh, my God, you caught CCB managment in an oversight!!
Let's have them hung from the highest tree.
The 6 procedure has "SUGGESTED VFR PROCEDURES...", but they left it off
on the 24 procedure.
Call the FAA immediately!
The world is coming to an end!
Chaos reigns!
Oh, the humanity!
