Nice Landing

[LaZyLuKe25]

i know how they work at towers....but were you ever cleared to land? i didn't hear it?

[rdfelty]

Yes, listen starting at about 3:12. I get told that I'm number 2 following Bonanza traffic on a 1 mile final. I tell him that I have the traffic in sight and he then clears me for the option in position 2 following that traffic. This was the second or third time around for me, so we were using a little short-hand between us since he knew I was working on pattern. So for example, he called me before I called him this time at mid-field. Listen again for "cleared for the option" at about 3:18.

Yes, but it was pretty much right down the runway. I was using 35 and the ATIS was 320 at 14.

oh i see, cool.

Great vid! the winds looked kinda strong?

[cr8nkaos]

Very nice!

[rdfelty]

Thanks for the comments. Yes, that hold short line at 35 is very conservative. Compared with 28 where it's right at the runway edge.

Nice landing! I always find it interesting when I'm holding short of 35 and the hold short line is so far down on alpha.
