EODDave said:I dont think that the question is the number of flights per day. The two locations have roughly the same amount. All the corpus guys are saying is that due to the lack of outlying fields, crp is a little more hecktic. Due to the high volume and lack of any place to go, all crp flights are controlled. CRP guys have 8, if I recall, working areas and only one outlying field with which to do bounces. Whiting has a large number of flights per day as well. However, Whiting unlike Corpus has numerous outlying fields and working areas for those flight to go to.
EODDave said:Punk,
The other thing with Corpus is that since there is only 1 outlying field there were a ton of guys bouncing in the pattern at CRP including the custom's P-3's. Throw the C-12 and T-44's in there with different approach speeds on all of the different a/c is what made corpus a little challenging. I actually had a single pass last almost 15min between touchdowns.
Oh yeah, The C model will kick the lil' ol A models butt. :icon_tong Meridian RULES!!
Fly Navy said:Actually, they were talking about Corpus International vs Pensacola Regional, just recently. When it comes to those two, operations/day is what counts.
bch said:You need to re-read the posts. and no, ops per day is not what counts, whats makes airspace more hectic is Density not volume.
You can put a 100 aircraft in CA and then put the same 100 in RI, and hands down RI is going to be more hectic.

bch said:Fly Navy, this is not a physics class. Density is simply how dense a certain volume is (for this certain situation, if you want to figure the mass of T-34C's, TC-12. T-44 .... go right ahead)...
You might want to try flying in both areas frist.

"My airspace is more crowded than yours"
"Nuh uh"
"uh huh"
"I have to talk on the radio more"
"no you don't"
"yes I do"
...ad nauseum

bch said:Pensacola would be much nicer for family, crime is lower, people are nicer and there are no bandito's (motorcycle gang in corpus.) Beaches are actually nice water, instead of brown.
