Ryan, you didn't seem to read the previous entries very well. PPR does NOT necessarily have to do with "normal" conditions at the field, but "special" conditions, from events that may be happening (field closed for non-participants), lack of proper parking (powered gliders often need PPR because of their wingspan), conditions of the field (it's often sogged in and thus closed). Or they have no "officail" opening hours when there is guaranteed someone there to help with the fuel pumps or other service. Call in advance... what's so difficult about that?

Of course, many fields are PPR since long before the advance of internet, etc. and there are MANY fields that don't have homepages still! Maybe some of those fields should at least have an answering maschine running on the PPR phone number.......

It is the owners priority to use PPR if he wants... it's HIS property after all. You wouldn't want someone landing on your property without your knowledge, would you?
