Ok... from what I can tell and per suggestions from some very
accomplished and helpful individuals that have been kind enough to
allow me to be a bother... my apologies, Next step is as follows:

A brief letter to the tower, FAA and airport manager stating my
intentions, concern for safety, aircraft limitations (if any), and my
expectations I will ask them to inform me in writing of any
Federal regulations I may be violating by flying there in a polite,
but firm letter. CC my State aviation department, SSA, FAA Washington
(AFS 800) as well as Senators and representatives.

I have not been able in all of my research to find a single comment
that would indicate that this aircraft is in violation of any FAR

or any airport that allows light aircraft to fly that will not allow
this aircraft type to fly.

As well as any Safety or Efficiency issue regarding this aircraft that
would impede or delay operations at a single runway airport as well.
(assuming reasonablness)

So anyway that is plan A.


Now in the for what it's worth category...

One of the airports that I will be flying out of is Upolu on the
northern tip of the Big Island. Just out of curiosity I checked the
utilization...

27 operations per month! man... when I start flying there, they may
actually reach a level of a (natural positive integer)

Scottsdale: 506 operations/day

McClellan-Palomar: 761 operations/day

and Palomar is about half as long, so simultaneous
landings with 3000 ft separation isn't as easy.

P.S. And I used to crawl both ways through sleet for 50 miles to
get to kindergarten... :P Yeah, I know...I should stop whining...
