However I figure I should ask for a sanity-check on whether
what's SOP at home is regarded as inappropriate or rude elsewhere. With three (well, okay, six) runways to choose from here at IOW, I always try to follow the "when in Rome, do as the Romans do" rule of runway selection, and I appreciate it when everyone else does, too. This isn't a perfect strategy either, of course. For example, the wind can change, and suddenly everyone is stuck using the "wrong" runway, simply due to inertia. (This can make for some interesting plane watching -- not everyone's cross-wind technique is as sharp as it could be! :-) But having everyone on the same runway makes the pattern work the smoothest -- which, ultimately, helps keep us all safe. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
