First PE Flight - Runway "Conflict" at L52
Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2018 10:54 am
On my very first flight last Saturday afternoon, while taxiing along the parallel for RWY 29 at L52, a "172" announced on CTAF that he was taking off on 29. As he pulled onto the runway, I looked out and saw an aircraft on short final! "Aircraft departing Oceano, you have an aircraft on final RIGHT behind you!". The other aircraft landed right on top of the departing aircraft. If he had slammed on the brakes he would have been OK. Oops. Crazy way to start out on PE.
