That's a slippery slope.

In the winter I always carry a Zippo and often my old
Marbles brass match case. I also always fly with several
knives and usually a gun or two, never know when you may
have to survive in a cold place and find something to eat.
Years ago I flew some Red Chinese around the Wichita area,
made it a point to fly them over the Titan missile silos and
McConnell AFB. Never a bad idea to brag a little about our
freedom and the power to defend it.

If I was flying good looking young women, maybe I'd require
a strip search [just kidding].

Perhaps just to see if they have bad foot odor that might stink up your
plane g

With the new leather interior in the Super Lancair ES, we take our shoes
off before getting in... Did the same thing with a super detailed Yankee
one time, forgot I'd powdered mine that day...

Some. There are no rules for scanning people loading and departing from
private strips, and few (if any) rules at what we call uncontrolled
airports. But you can't land a light plane at a commercial airport and
just taxi up where the commercial planes are.

I have. A few years ago I pulled up beside a 767 and picked up one of the
crew. I did get permission from the operator though.

hi!

Thanks for all replies.

Just a follow up to the reply below.

How about the runways at these airports?
Or are there seperate GA runways at the majors?

I just want to find out how these things are working other parts of the
world, because there are some new legislations about to be imposed, and it
would be good to try to influence them somewhat...

Again, thanks,

Frode Berg

He could be carrying a s***load of explosives on board and tax over to
the commercial planes, right?
Doeas he have to stop at the taxiway and be "checked" out by security
before taxiing to the hangar?

Do you have any rules for these sort of things in the US or other parts?

Some. There are no rules for scanning people loading and departing from
private strips, and few (if any) rules at what we call uncontrolled
airports. But you can't land a light plane at a commercial airport and
just taxi up where the commercial planes are. At some airports (like
Shenandoah Valley Regional in Virginia), there's a line on the pavement.
You stay on one side and the commercial guys are on the other. You could
get as close as perhaps 30 meters before someone yells at you. On one
hand, a suicide pilot could cross that line and travel that 30 meters
before anyone could stop him. On the other hand, the commercial flights
out of SHD carry only perhaps 15 passengers.

At a larger airport (such as Knoxville, Tennessee), the closest you could
get without the controller complaining would be more like 200 meters. It's
much more likely that someone on the ground could do something to stop you
if you tried to taxi into an airliner there.

At a major airport (such as Atlanta or Newark), there's no way you'd be
able to get anywhere near the commercial planes.

If a tank is out of ammunition, what you have is a sixty ton portable
radio.

That varies. Some major airports (Raleigh, for example) have one runway which is
usually assigned to light aircraft landing there. Even in those cases, all
aircraft taking off, regardless of size, are usually assigned the same runway.
IIRC, I've always landed on runway 32 and always taken off on either 23L or 5R
when I've gone to RDU.

Both, but GA can also use the "airline" runways, but not vice-versa.

It sounds as if the Greens are romping and stomping again!
