The moment I started my missed approach, I head somebody announcing they were departing 27. All's fair in love, war, and uncontrolled fields. Would you have preferred that he depart 27 *before* you started your missed approach? No, of course not. I'm not saying he did anything wrong. I was just using this as a real-life example of why "the active" is a meaningless term at an uncontrolled airport.

Awh, I'm just razzing ya' a bit... grin I've had people announce that they were departing 27 when I was on final to 09 even though I'm coming in behind someone else who just landed on 09... When you have a crosswind runway, either one is probably about the same given that the winds around here are usually either directly out of the south or *sometimes* directly out of the north... Hell, I flunked by first checkride for my PPL because I crabbed into a nonexistant crosswind and landed with my nosewheel 3 ft off the centerline (of the 100 ft wide runway)... In all my flying at that airport, I had *never* encountered wind directly straight down the runway and it just so happened that it was that way on my checkride...

Where is it in the Private PTS that the nose wheel has to be on or within x feet of centerline? BT

Well, if it was three feet off the centerline while the mains were equidistant from it because he was crabbed into a nonexistent crosswind...

k.net... Well, if it was three feet off the centerline while the mains were equidistant from it because he was crabbed into a nonexistent crosswind... Not quite... The aircraft was straightened out before touchdown... I was just 3 ft off the side of it... At least according to him... An argument could e made that each of our angles of view were offset from the actual centerline of the aircraft, so perhaps it only looked like I was 3 ft off...
