Landing on Freeway

At night I'd land on I-80 or I-380 (our two "local" interstate highways) without a second thought. During the day, I'd aim for a field, presuming there was one nearby. As an FYI, I did a quick search on interstate width requirements and found the following document... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interst...hway_standards So a two-lane interstate like I-80 in rural areas would be: 12 ft (lane #1) 12 ft (lane #2) 10 ft (shoulder #1) 4 ft (shoulder #2) -------------------------------- 38ft So it would be possible to put a light single down on in the center and not even hit a mile marker or reflector post on the sides... -Nathan Except what the standard said was "At least two Lanes in each direction" to be a interstate. So the median where the drainage ditch runs would be to the left of Shoulder # 1 or Right of Shoulder #2 depending on your orientation. I would guess when Nathan said landing on the center he meant between the 2 lanes not in the median. John |

One more abuse of Federal funding by General Aviation! OK, let's say you use auto gas in your plane and your state allows you to get a rebate of the highway tax for the gas you put in your plane. If you land your plane on the highway, do you have to return the rebate? Wouldn't that be rebate the rebate. :-) -m -- ## Mark T. Dame ## VP, Product Development ## MFM Software, Inc.

It would be possible, but the wind kicked up by even an SUV would make things very difficult. "Cessna 60288, you're cleared to land. Beware wake turbulence departing semi."
