Land at Culpeper VA (CRJ) to call the DC ADIZ and figure out which "gate" to
enter.
Not as bad as it sounds. I took my Pietenpol Air Camper in there a couple
of years ago, and landed at Dulles Int'l (IAD).

These are some great suggestions, thanks!
I am glad I didn't forget Kitty Hawk thanks to this thread.
Thanks to to the offline emails Carl and Mike. I'm in the
middle of throwing together some bags as we just made
our decision of East instead of West a few minutes
ago. We'll be leaving today and probably doing
the route in reverse to allow the weather to pass
through D.C. So for the next couple days I'll be
headed wherever things look good in SC and NC.
Then enroute I'll have to educate myself on the DC
SFRA and figure out which is the best place to come
in from the South.

Jack,
With the SFRA, I didn't know you could even fly VFR into Dulles? You just file
the SFRA flight plan and then talk to approach? I'll have to try it sometime.
You really flew your Air Camper in?

Yes, you've got to have a transponder and radio, and you have to get a
clearance just like going into Class B, but it can be done. If you're
instrument rated it is actually easier to go in on an instrument flight
plan. VFR is a bit of a pain.
Let me caution you that they haven't got a clue about little airplanes
there. I landed and got it stopped in about 400', but went just past the
first turnoff. The next taxiway was over a mile down the runway. I'm
probably the only pilot who ever asked Dulles tower for permission to turn
around and back-taxi to the turnoff, but they granted it.
We parked with several other planes for the night at Dulles Jet Service (we
had all been invited to bring our planes to the Udvar-Hazy Museum for their
Be a Pilot Family Day). Dulles Jet had acres of concrete, without a
tie-down in sight. My Pietenpol has 21" wheels (I'm flying it to Oshkosh if
you want to see it) and with thunderstorms forecast for that evening I was
not comfortable just leaving it chocked overnight. I inquired about putting
it in the hangar and was told "$198". I said I just needed it for a night -
not the whole month. That WAS the price for one night.
I remarked that with those big wheels my 700 lb airplane would hop a chock
in a heartbeat, but I guess it wouldn't blow into that Gulfstream over
there. When I got there the next morning, my plane was in a hangar - no
charge.

Also remember that you do have to go online and take a TEST in order to
fly within 60 n.m. of KDCA. And then of course either file a special
VFR flight plan or file IFR to go within the 30 n.m. radius of KDCA.
The Test is easy, and should only take 45 minutes or so. When I went
into Baybridge, East of KBWI, ATC was very helpfull. I came up from
the South and just skirted the 30 n.m. arc from KDCA.

An update for y'all...
The Charleston suggestion was great! We toured the Yorktown today among oth
er things, and tomorrow we're heading North through Kitty Hawk and up to the
DC area. We've got a lot of stops along the way. I have to take the SFRA c
ourse tonight.
Is it customary to get flight following up the coast at 1000agl past all the
restricted airspace in NC, or just do it alone not talking to anyone, stayi

I'm happy either way....but just want to know what's common.
Looking forward to the trip. Leaning towards Leesburg as the entry point.

Hey guys,
This will be the FOURTH (original and three replacements) nose wheel pants I've
made. Apparently on hard landings, low tire pressure, whatever, the tire grabs
the sides of the opening, curls them in and breaks off the tail of the pants.
I can see tire burn on the broken edges, so it must be that when the tire flattens,
then rotates before it can reshape, it grabs the fiberglass. Note that the
glass is not laid for structure (on a bias) and it's a clean break along the
weave.
I've opened the width much more than Van's calls for this last time in hopes to
eliminate the problem. I got tired of ordering a new blank, so this time I put
the damaged one back together. Three layers of cloth on a bias along the inner
seam, one on the outer, smoothed with resin/micro beads, primed and feathered
in. I won't redo the paint job until we find out if it's a fix.
Anyone else find this to be a problem? I don't recall anyone posting this before.
Let me know - Lew

Yep, I do intend to get online tonight and take the test, so I
should be ready to go.
If one of you more local guys wants to comment on my
potential route at the end, punch go to
http://runwayfinder.com/
and copy and paste this string into the line:
KWWD; VPAXI; VPACE; BRV; FLUKY; CSN; KLUA; W99; KJYO
Very roughly, this longer version is what I'm kind of thinking
for tomorrow:
KCHS; VPNPO; VPRRS; SUT; 01NC; PMZ; KFFA; KNTU; KMFV; KOXB; KGED; KWWD;
VPAXI; VPACE; BRV; FLUKY; CSN; KLUA; W99; KJYO
...of course, completely avoiding any restricted areas. I'd
rather just avoid them then deal with the constant radio work
to see if they're active or not. If I had flight following it
would be easier, but this routing kind of leaves me to be
fairly free other than when passing by some bigger airports
where I'd have to call approach and/or go out over the ocean
a couple miles.

I just repaired mine @ 130 hours. Only thing I found was a low tire
pressure- down to 20 lbs.I didn't think that was the cause(ie no hard
landings) I didn't see any rubber. I thought it was maybe due to FOD.

Flying along the East Coast or Outer Banks I normally use flight following.
No need to stay low from Charleston to FFA. Stay east of the areas around
Cherry Point as those areas tend to be hot.
FFA to JYO - file for the SFRA before you leave FFA, giving them an
estimated arrival time at the JYO entry point. Stay south and west outside
the SFRA until you get to the JYO entry point. Reminder that you will need
to say under the Dulles (IAD) class B as your come up from the south. Here
is the link: http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_0_4965.html
An alternative is to stay out of the SFRA and land at Stafford Regional
(RMN). Various hotels and B&Bs available in Fredericksburg and you can ride
the VRE train downtown.
Currituck, NC (ONX) has the best fuel price around and is right on your
flight path. Top off there before you get hit in the wallet at JYO.

We parked with several other planes for the night at Dulles Jet Service (we
had all been invited to bring our planes to the Udvar-Hazy Museum for their
Be a Pilot Family Day). Dulles Jet had acres of concrete, without a
tie-down in sight. My Pietenpol has 21" wheels (I'm flying it to Oshkosh if
you want to see it) and with thunderstorms forecast for that evening I was
not comfortable just leaving it chocked overnight. I inquired about putting
it in the hangar and was told "$198". I said I just needed it for a night -
not the whole month. That WAS the price for one night.
I remarked that with those big wheels my 700 lb airplane would hop a chock
in a heartbeat, but I guess it wouldn't blow into that Gulfstream over
there. When I got there the next morning, my plane was in a hangar - no
charge.

Jack,
With the SFRA, I didn't know you could even fly VFR into Dulles? You just
file the SFRA flight plan and then talk to approach? I'll have to try it
sometime.
You really flew your Air Camper in?

Flying along the East Coast or Outer Banks I normally use flight following.
No need to stay low from Charleston to FFA. Stay east of the areas around
Cherry Point as those areas tend to be hot.
FFA to JYO - file for the SFRA before you leave FFA, giving them an
estimated arrival time at the JYO entry point. Stay south and west outside
the SFRA until you get to the JYO entry point. Reminder that you will need
to say under the Dulles (IAD) class B as your come up from the south. Here
is the link: http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_0_4965.html
An alternative is to stay out of the SFRA and land at Stafford Regional
(RMN). Various hotels and B&Bs available in Fredericksburg and you can ride
the VRE train downtown.
Currituck, NC (ONX) has the best fuel price around and is right on your
flight path. Top off there before you get hit in the wallet at JYO.

An update for y'all...
The Charleston suggestion was great! We toured the Yorktown today among
other things, and tomorrow we're heading North through Kitty Hawk and up to
the DC area. We've got a lot of stops along the way. I have to take the
SFRA course tonight.
Is it customary to get flight following up the coast at 1000agl past all the
restricted airspace in NC, or just do it alone not talking to anyone,
staying out of the airspaces?
I'm happy either way....but just want to know what's common.
Looking forward to the trip. Leaning towards Leesburg as the entry point.

Let me caution you that they haven't got a clue about little airplanes

How much clearance between stationary tire and pant? Should be at least 1"

Great tips again!
I probably won't be going into JYO tomorrow unless I get
ahead of schedule. We don't generally make reservations
anywhere because we don't know when we'll get in. That's
just the point we'll try to use to get into DC.
Regarding the outer banks, and the staying low...part of
the staying low is just for sightseeing. It passes the time
quick when you see all the stuff up close. Regarding the
outer banks though, I see these VFR waypoints:
VPATO
VPOKY
VPGHI
VPUMO
VPWZO
It looks like these are actually specifically designed to
give you waypoints to use to route around the restricted
areas, over the outer banks, so that you stay out of their
hair. Doesn't that seem to be the case? So if I did that,
I could get a great coastal tour and end up at KFFA.
The only thing I see as a difference is that it looks like
a lot of marine conservation area, so I'd have to be at
2000' not 1000'
This was my original route:
KCHS; VPNPO; VPRRS; SUT; 01NC; PMZ; KFFA; KNTU; KMFV; KOXB; KGED; KWWD;
VPAXI; VPACE; BRV; FLUKY; CSN; KLUA; W99; KJYO
This is the coastal route:
KCHS; VPNPO; VPRRS; SUT; 01NC; EWN; VPATO; VPOKY; VPGHI; VPUMO; VPWZO;
KFFA; KONX; KNTU; KMFV; KOXB; KGED; KWWD; VPAXI; VPACE; BRV; FLUKY; CSN;
KLUA; W99; KJYO
Thanks for the tip on KRMN. I might keep that in my back
pocket because if we get pressed for time, that would
be a good stopping place along our route.
As you can see by the routing, we're going to try to have
landed in SC, NC, VA, DE, MD, NJ, and WV on this trip...and
by tomorrow if I'm lucky I'll have been on the ground in
all of them.

| Subject: | Wheel Fairing/ Plane Leveling Question |
I'm getting ready to install the wheel pants. The directions say to raise the
plane do the wheels are 1/16" off the ground and level longitudinally and laterally.
To get it level longitudinally, the nose wheel is 1/16", but the mains
are about 2" off the ground. I am leveling to the F-1015C mid cabin deck.
Is this what others have seen?
Just wanna make sure I'm not missing something... Don't want to be misaligned
and slow my bird down!!
