| Climbing SW Over KPDX |
A few club members had never landed at a major airport, so we put together a club fly out to
KPDX which is a fairly busy class C airport. After a briefing on the VFR arrival and departure procedures, we departed for KPDX. The weather was MVFR so we flew northbound at 2500'. We picked up flight following early from Seattle Center and after getting handed off to Portland Approach they negotiated a class D crossing for us though KUAO's airspace prior to our arrival into the Portland terminal area. Shortly after that we were handed off to Portland Tower and they requested that we make a short approach to runway 10L. After taxiing to
Atlantic Aviation, we grabbed a couple of crew cars to head to
Famous Daves for bbq.
