Xray tango
I doubt it.
YCEM has been an all weather strip for quite a few years now, and he's never asked to use it before...but then that may have been lease holder related.
The other thing that may have kept him away is that it was a gravel strip. Convincing pilots that 1000 rpm and feet off the brakes is MORE than enough to taxy with is a lot more difficult that one would assume.
With the change in lease holder YLIL might be more inclined to ask. The new lease holder is maintaining and building a good working relationship with the YLIL operators.
And not all YCEM boys were refused usage of YLIL for that seminar. I believe it was based on night recency into the strip on a case by case basis....I wasn't refused. (did a night renewal about a month beforehand)
