What are the winds? I’ll plan on the coupled GPS approach just in case the ceiling and visibility drop. Can I shut down on the helipad or are you expecting other guests to be landing there? Hopefully you don’t have the bright lights on to bloom out the night vision goggles.
You can shutdown on the pad...other guests are coming by limo,weather looks good,I will blink the flood lights twice for clearance to land.
Forecast had “FU” in the remarks with reduced visibility. Figured if you had a big crowd coming , the smoke from the appliances could be as thick as a false flag wild fire. Better to be on an instrument approach so as to not end up like Kobe…. Both the steaks and the basketball player. https://www.weather.gov/media/wrh/mesowest/metar_decode_key.pdf
Sanded down and painted...I got some tiger stripes in it but after a few rain storms and wipe downs it should smooth out
I was gonna do a hot dog experiment next but I ran outta time,maybe tomorrow...all in the name of research
I’ll reach out to the FAA and submit for the change. That’s definitely one that would turn me into a seagull. In other words, you’d have to throw a rock at me to get me to go flying.
