Good point. I just meant that it was not a BWI or a tower controller
airport, for example. I should have beem more specific.

Tipton (FME) is small? That's a pretty big field. Suburban (W18) which is
about 3 miles away is a small airport (2300'x25' with trees at both ends
and a significant slope to the runway). Tipton, also has more of a big
airport feel with the staff, not nearly as friendly.

Glad to hear you made it safely. You are based in Wisconsin, right?

Right. Central Wisconsin.


Where was the failure? Northern Wisconsin can be an unforgiving area
for an off-airport landing (miles and miles of dense forests).


I was on a business trip in Washington D.C., so I was out of a small
airport called Tipton Field (FME). I ended up landing at Gaithersburg.
