I've flown into PDX in a Cessna 152, the hot-pants wearing, "I can't
believe it's not an ultralight" red headed stepchild of the general aviation family and they treated me excellently. I contacted Portland Approach from the south who vectored me directly over downtown and had be call Tower. Tower had me cross midfield and then circle to land, and this is all VFR. Tower and approach were excellent, ground was super about getting me to the FBO, and clearance delivery was basically "dial and go" with no delays when I launched again. Something to consider, PDX is in class charlie, not bravo, and while it's busy, it looks like it has a lot of capacity. I don't know how much it costs to park there, but flying into PDX is a breeze, and I'll do it again next time I'm up there. Ben Hallert PP-ASEL |
