Also huge thanks to Keith for the awesome ATC! Sounded like you got a workout tonight. hehe
Totally agree.
I hope to keep this thread alive after I listen to the recordings again from last night, make some more notes, and will happily post them here.
Also, see

Finally, if multiple pilots start assembling at the destination airport, may I suggest a protocol that, once we're on the ground and parked, we switch our primary radio to to 123.45 for an informal debrief / champagne celebration ? To do this, I believe that we would move the the CTAF to COM2, put 123.45 on COM1, and set monitor to BOTH. Especially in the light of
this. I think doing it that way, we can still hear pilots who are hovering around, but we'd be talking informally on the pilot-to-pilot freq (technical corrections to this approach welcomed). Or, if we end up at a towered airport, we can monitor Ground/Tower on COM2, while still listening/talking to our fly in chums on COM1.
Brett, you mentioned LAS. So how about KIPF up to Vegas for the next one for a little night out on the town?
IFR along V237, it's probably a 40/45 min flight in a single prop. So say an hour, with planning/prep, taxi, climb, etc. (and I'll come to the party in my single piston this time!). We should set some targets too, e.g. be online by 2000hrs PST, be filed by 2005hrs, request taxi by 2010hrs, be airborne by 2015, etc. (those times obviously mean considerable flight planning and research is done offline/prior). It's just an idea. To be honest, I'm up for anything.
