" Many airports in the US have hours in which they are controlled, reverting to uncontrolled status, when the tower is closed. during periods when the tower is closed, uncontrolled, does not mean that the airport is closed to traffic, it is in uncontrolled status. "
OK...first and LAST post on this thread.....and the above quote is EXACTLY the type of airport that I trained and worked out of....
First..since WHEN do pilots need to have a LAW degree??
If I can't contact the tower, but have an approach clearance...then I continue on, presuming a comms failure on someones part...will I be a tad more vigilant? YES....and ready to do a go around if needed - YES. Can we simply agree that things are different in the United States compared to England and Europe??? Thanks!
