Seems like the result speaks for itself. No problems, right?
Sure, there were no problems but my question was not really about my
plan as much as it was about ATC procedure. Newps corrected my
understanding of ATC's wake turbulence procedures.
As I'm sure you know, and others will probably point out, It's your
show. If you don't like the instructions from the tower, don't do it.
I agree. I am fully aware of my PIC card and will play it if needed,
but I also know that orderly operations at larger airports require me to
think and fly a little differently. This is why, at least at this
level of my experience, I choose to fly into BOS with an instrument-
rated co-pilot.
I'm sure they'd rather have you tie up the runway for a couple of
minutes than have you close it down for a day to clean up the wreckage.
Rather than tie up the runway, ATC would most likely instruct me to pull
to the opposite taxiway and wait, then wait and wait some more. There
were several airliners behind me and had I asked for a wake turbulence
delay, they would have been happy to oblige... by sending me to the
corner of the airport until all traffic subsided sometime a few hours
later.
So you do Angel Flights? Maybe I need to re-evaluate my opinion of you.
Don't change your opinion on account of this. About 95% of my flying
these last several months has been for Angel Flight Northeast and Angel
Flight East. In my opinion, there is no better way to get mission-
oriented, cross country and busy airport experience, all while providing
a much-needed service to those who are less fortunate. Call me what
you will, but soon after receiving my PPL I got bored of the $100
hamburger flights.
Damn, are we both New Englanders, Too?
Based out of Syracuse, NY. Where are you?
