I used to do a lot of flying over the Plaza during Christmas.
Is that still allowed?


The plaza "tour" is still allowed, although I would contact approach on
118.9 and let them know your intentions, and don't get below 1000 feet agl..
The only real "gotcha" in the KC class B is the sports stadium TFR. Flight
Service nor the local controllers seem to know when the Royals (or soon the
Chiefs) are in town or the times of the games.... During my recent
instrument work I used the ILS's into the downtown airport quite often. The
controllers normal missed instructions were to " turn right/left heading
090, climb and maintain 3000". Those instructions meant a heading towards
the stadiums at 2000' agl............

Welcome back to KC. We have only been here 4 years, and are still learning
about all of the wonderful places to visit/eat/tour/enjoy. If time permits,
make sure our tour the Boulevard Beer plant, and the refurbished Union
Station. Oh...and you cannot leave town without several samples of KC's
famous steaks, and barbeque. A baseball game may be in order. The Royals
being in first place has the city very excited.... Our new minor league
team the "T-Bones" are also a hoot to watch.

Back to the FBO...I would just give KCAC a call (800-720-5222) the day
before your expected arrival, and they will gladly handle any and all
arrangements (rental car, hotel, etc) you might want.

Welcome Back!
