Steven,

Which FAR are you referring to?


91.126

91.126

You are absolutely right...There's no wiggle room in that one...although,
there have been times when I've heard of practice instrument approaches in
VMC that result in a non-standard approach to a non-towered field....does
that violate 91.126?

Wait, wait...don't tell me.....I'm sure that an AC covers those situations
when advice is needed in a non-cookie-cutter world.....I'll look there.

Note that FAR 91.126 begins with "Unless otherwise authorized or required".

That is splashing all around what I was talking about when Mike mentioned
the field in the boonies....Blueskies also asked the question about going
there to practice. There may have been a place where full-stop, back-taxi,
ground-looping (: , what-ever may have been authorized and could be done
safely in a training environment.

I really enjoy this forum as it has a relaxed and cordial atmosphere and I
had no intention of writing a brief on the legal requirements of practicing
right-hand traffic that Mike W likes to do. I've been flying disaster
relief into Mississippi and Louisiana over the past several weeks and
although there are control towers, it goes something like this, "xxxx,
advise what you'd like to do." There is right-hand traffic landing short as
intersection take-offs roll out and helicopters land on the parallel
taxiway, all at the same time.

If you can find a place to safely practice non-standard stuff, then good for
you. It is a skill that may come in very handy.

I have no idea what that means.

You can practice right-traffic at controlled fields and at uncontrolled
fields that have right-traffic. You can't practice right-traffic at
uncontrolled fields that have left traffic.

IIRC the tower operators at OSU are non-Federal. They're definitely
less cooperative than any other facility in the area.

Services provided by Midwest.
The office of one flying club based on the field has the address for
filing complaints about the services received, provided by the FAA.

I don't know if there is an AC for this situation or not, but you
definitely don't need an AC to explain this.

A straight-in instrument is not a violation of 91.126. Flying a traffic
pattern is not a requirement, but if you choose to fly a traffic
pattern, then flying it in the correct direction is a requirement.
