FWIW I do not mean for this to be a “must do” procedure. More like looking out the window at the wing procedure (if that were possible then no need for a camera…the camera fills that role). If you can then great but not a checklist item.
In other news …
Today FAA has announced that as part of their traffic thinning actions in response to the government shutdown, all general aviation (read “bizjets”) are prohibited immediately from operating at this list of major airline airports:
- Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, Denver International Airport, General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport, George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, New York John F. Kennedy International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Reagan Washington National Airport and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
AKA ORD, DFW, DEN, BOS, IAH, ATL, JFK, LAX, EWR, PHX, DCA, and SEA.
So pretty much a who’s who of passenger airline hubs. Of top of my head, SLC, LAS, SFO, DTW, and CLT are the prominent missing entries. So far.
Don’t most biz jets in that area go to Teterboro, which is itself on the 10% slowdown list; especially for EWR which is right down the road from TEB
