Question about a drone at Taft-Kern L17

Post by jbijlsma »

Hey guys, let me first thank all of you people who make PE possible. I just started flying a few days ago and I'm really enjoying the addition to my flightsim experience.

So while I was doing a few traffic patterns at Taft-Kern L17 I encountered a drone that landed there. I was doing the pattern on runway 25, as 07 is closed for landing at Taft. The drone however landed at 07. I was wondering why it did and it actually confused me quite a bit. My guess it's to simulate real life pilots doing unexpected things, but I'd love to know the reason.

The drones on the network are pre-recorded and NORDO so you sort of have to work around them.

You can see them all here:
