message ... "Andrew Gideon" wrote in message online.com... Isn't there some password requirement for one of the DC airports? I recall reading here (which naturally means that it must be true {8^) that some pilots have been diverted after getting the password wrong; there's no second try permitted. Something that's read out over the radio? Paul I'd be very suprised if this were the case. I was just at DCA not too long ago. I sat at my gate for an hour with a scanner and I didn't hear anything out of the ordinary being said verbally. The only unusual thing I "heard" was a stuck mic on ground, meaning the tower had to handle most of the ground movements for about 20 minutes or so. Maybe they expect to see a specific XPndr squawk tied to a specific flight number and if "Cactus" 1234 isn't squawking 5678 (or whatever...) it "fails" the test? Jay Beckman Student Pilot - KCHD |
