Bit of 'luck of the draw' with these. If its busy and they're already tied up with others when you arrive, then all good
. They tend to pick on the commercial guys 1st. If possible, when you arrive, secure the aircraft and hurry your passengers along over to the gate asap! Avoid eye contact with the guys in the flouro vests at all times!
If you're unlucky enough to get 'selected', then be polite but keep conversation to a minimum. What they (normally) want to see is the usual documents like MR, AFM, license & medical, W&B done, and maybe that your EFB is up to date (or paper map if you have one). Luck of the draw again as to the person you get, but if they're half reasonable and everything's in order, then that should be it. If they're an a*hole, well, good luck.
NB:- Someone mentioned on the Avalon 2017 thread that they may be targeting iPad & Gopro mounts this time..(?)
That episode described by Old Akro with the photography sounds highly irregular. Not the 1st time I've heard of someone having an unpleasant experience like that. Copped a real
pr*ck by the sounds of it.
Best of luck to all flying in. Has anyone flown in on the trade days and been ramp checked..?
