During flight planning, I determined that 8,000 feet would provide the best wind advantage of the available preferred westbound IFR cruise altitudes. Closer to South Bass Island, the Put-In-Bay Airport (runways 3-21) appeared along the southeastern shore. Moments before turning final for runway 21 at Put-In-Bay.

My instructor for the day walked me through the preflight checklist and discussed the plan for our flight while encouraging me to ask any and all questions I had. Once we were ready, we started up, and the instructor radioed the tower before taxiing to the runway. Dont worry if it feels overwhelming.

He noted that most airports income has held pretty steady over the years, with income from streams such as hangars and fuel flowage having stayed relatively flat. A photo snapped of your airplane turning off the runway would have you caught red-handed. First of all, Coleton said, Vector is there to support airports.

Kentland has a 4,000-foot runway, east/west, with a crosswind straight out of the north. Nobody answered on unicom, and the facilities were at the west end of the airport, so I decided on left traffic for Runway 27. I turned base early, slipped the RV-9A as hard as it would go, landed halfway down the runway, and stood on the brakes.

New Adventures in Flight Planning and Filing I decided to test-drive my PIN and the whole FRZ process for the first time as my annual fall solo flight in October of 2023. Any flight into the FRZ requires a FRZ flight plan. For the most part, the process was quick and easy. No problem, I had that covered.
