May 14, 2025Piston GA on IFR flight plan. But... No IFR in or out. It was a VFR day so i cant say what would be the OP on an IMC day, but IFR needs to cancel prior to entering the MOAs. VFR FF still fine. But you are VFR navigating in from edge of MOA so be ready for this. On dep, expect FF but won't pick up a IFR clearance until out of the MOA. Just be ready and anticipate this. Resturant was closed by the time i got there around 3pm on a Friday. Quiet day and ATC/staff were friendly/helpful.

September 27, 2024Worth a visit. Might even catch an F35 doing Touch n Go's! Good helpful people at the FBO and inexpensive fuel.

June 18, 2024Do not plan to fly RNAV RW30 as a GA Jet. Gulfstream G550 aircraft. Had to cancel IFR at PMD and fly visually to the airport. MUST stay out of R-2515. This requires a 2.5 NM left base to final on RWY 30 coming from PMD. Plan for this to be a Day - VFR airport only.
