Interesting Arrival into Busy Airport

  • Based on the weather observations and forecast I departed Janesville, Wisconsin (JVL) VFR. As I got close to Chicago Aurora (ARR) airport I picked up a pop-up IFR clearance to descend below the clouds. I then entered a busy air traffic control tower pattern. After a couple 360's, extended downwind, abandoned base for a Saberliner and rejoining the final, I landed safely back at the home airport.

      Nice! I remember taking lessons in a C172 at the Aero Club at McClellan AFB in the mid '90s and will always remember the tower telling me, "Runway 16, cleared to land, caution wake turbulence from the landing C-5 Galaxy." I had an instructor with me and I'm pretty sure we extended out downwind for a while to let it dissipate. But it was pretty neat sharing the pattern with a C-5.

Interesting 'clear weather' you folks have over there in Illinois... OK, I'll stop.. Great video/flight as always... You handled it all as the true professional that you are and yep, you should have gone with your gut but you were fooled by the ATIS for sure.... Floated that landing a bit but that's ok.

I recall having 10 in the RWY 27 pattern when a Lear showed up on final! I often used an overhead pattern to work in fast aircraft like yours. I'm also a PP and flew new Cessna's back from Kansas and around the area for Luminair. Those were the days. Thanks for your videos. FH

We flew all night, carrying parts for GM plants in each city. We went JVL, STL, ORD, STL, JVL. put the bin full of parts into the plane, tied it down, then crawled over that bin of parts into the cockpit! I was amazed how busy these airports were at 2 in the morning....especially ORD!! Great fun pulling that all-nighter!!
