You don't have to enter class B airspace to get to Boeing field (where I'm based).
You can stay under class B the entire way...true, on pattern on the west side of the field is 800 feet so that you stay clear of class B at 1100, but it's pretty natural to stay low when the 747's are flying right over you! <grin> The phone number for Seattle Approach is 206-768-2840. Call them and explain when you will be coming in, and they will fill out a form and give you a exemption. When you call up Boeing Tower, just let them know you have no mode C and an exemption. The Museum of Flight is on the west side of the field, and well worth visiting. I had to go through all of this the other day as my mode C was inop, but I wanted to go to a flyin. Hope this helps. Out of curiosity, do you know why they want Ercoupes to flyin? Are they doing an exhibit or something? -Tom > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Charles McKinnie > Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 1998 7:08 AM > To: Percy Pwood Georgia Wood; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Seattle Fly-in > > > Percy: > > A waiver for entry to Class B airspace should be available through the > Seattle Tracon.
