Sitting at Santa Monica Municipal for a quick sightseeing flight


Rotate!


Flying over the Beaches to the east of KLAX


Lined up on runway 15 to land. Had to go around after a wind shift as I came in on final Runway 8.


And touchdown at KBUR! Little bumpy but landed

Love me a good 15 Landing!

You got yourself pretty close to getting a violation while doing that flight as you were about to fly right along the departure path of outbound flights from LAX

Yeah I saw how close and noped out, were you on ATC? I’m sorry abt that, I set heading the wrong way

For future reference on takeoff from runway 21 out of KSMO you make a right turn 270

Sounds good

I was controlling a frequency at LAX during that time. For future reference, if you want to fly over the airport, it would be best to tune into Tower and ask for a transition

This was a harrowing flight. While turning base to short final, I look up and a 738 is right behind me. And I got a traffic alert, and had to go around, even though the southwest wasn’t even on tower Frequency. He came on Frequency as he almost had a repeat of a tragedy

Was that at KBUR? Cause in your photo when you were on final for 15, it looked like an aircraft was lined up for takeoff.

This was before I took the pic, I’ll show ya the other ine

This was before I had to change from Runway 8 to 15. I also included a photo with locations and ATC log


As you see here, wasn’t on Frequency and just cut me off. Any feedback would be nice

Ahh I see, since tower was online I don’t know why they didn’t sequence you behind the SWA, since your Final approach speed is about 60 KIAS and a -700 is about 125 KIAS.

Also the southwest was Not tuned into KBUR Tower

This is exactly what’s wrong with the expert server.
