As a followup to the demo that was done in Sep, we're doing a demo for the campus side of an aviation program this Wednesday.

The demo aircraft will be N1021M or N11FT.

Traffic is requested to either:
- fly in the pattern at SMO for the departing aircraft, and/or at LGB when the aircraft is arriving, or

- pick up an IFR departure out of SMO to any destination while the demo aircraft is on the ground frequency (so the demo aircraft can hear you)

- pick up IFR from SMO to LGB to create conflicting traffic for the demo aircraft. The TEC route is SMO SMO125R V64 SLI. Local IFR departure instructions out of SMO for pistons are: "fly runway heading until crossing the SMO 315 radial then turn right hdg 250 without delay, radar vectors SMO." Put the latter together with the former and you have the clearance to expect.

Thanks for any assistance!

Looking forward to it. Everyone is excited to see here at the campus. Just to clarify...the plane will be N1021M, a Baron 58. Hope to see a bunch of planes in the air!! Thanks!

I think it's time for me to download some KSMO scenery. That airport is just one giant runway for me and the turnoffs are confusing!

KSMO has hard, paved surface between the runway and the taxiways on both sides that runs almost the complete length of the runway. You can turn off anytime; no need to wait for a marked turn-off.

Colin,

Check out some satellite shots of the airport, it's bizarre.

That's pretty cool. What a great place to work on crosswind landings I'll have to make a trip up there this winter when work calms down.
