Default Useless radio transmissions

This happens at an airport near me all the time (just happens to
be an ex-WW2 air base). When the wind is blowing out of the
NW, those who park their airplanes on the east side of the
airport typically use runway 34. Those who park on the SW
side of the airport use runway 29 (I've seen both runways being
used all day long).


Same with my home base.

9-27 is the long one, 18-36 is the other . 36 starts right next to the
gas pumps and 27 is at the other end of the parking area. Most folks
will use 9-27, even with a decent crosswind, for departure but not
landing, while others will land directly into the wind, or depart
directly from the FBO area. 18 requires back taxiing, so it's rarely
used for departure, except by green students. There's no instrument
approach or visual aids on 18-36, further adding to it's use with
crosswinds.

"Active" can narrow it down to 2 or 3 of the 4! G
