Default Travel to Hyannis

I take it, then, that you recommend Griffin as an FBO of choice on the

Absolutely. Nice guys, and they're at the quiet end of the field.


The weather is in fact why I'm planning on Hyannis rather than Chatham
(with which I'm already comfortable). I'm picking up some friends for a
little event here, and then bringing them back.


I've used Hyannis as an alternate for Chatham as well. Chatham's NDB
minimums don't leave many options when the yuck comes in. At least HYA
has an ILS which has saved me on one memorable occasion.

But I do have some slight experience with weather in the neighborhood.
Once, pre-IR, I was trapped at Chatham by this silly little layer of cloud
that was nowhere but there. I also remember a t/o from ACK where fog
was hanging on the departure end of the runway while all else was
completely clear.


Ya gotta love Cape Cod g
