OPERATING AT A NONTOWERED AIRPORT
can be a complex melting pot of all types of
aircraft, flown by pilots of vastly different
levels of experience. Throwing your IFR
training flight into the mix can be tricky.
The orderly method in which instrument
flights operate is generally at odds
with the pilot-controlled nature of nontowered
airports. We're all supposed to
play by the same set of rules, but even so,
there's an immense amount of discretion.
Flying a successful IFR training session
at a nontowered airport ultimately comes
down to vigilance, common sense, and
being a well-intentioned participant.
Two of the biggest gotchas are where
and when you obtain your clearance, and
how you execute your approaches.
It's possible to obtain the clearance in
a few ways. The Aeronautical Information
Manual gives an admirably complete
rundown of how to get the clearance but
doesn't touch on where or when to do
it. At a towered airport we know we can
50 FLIGHT TRAINING NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2023
ask the tower for the clearance prior to
taxiing, but whether it's on the phone
with the approach control facility, or via
a remote communications outlet, getting
the clearance that early at a nontowered
airport is probably a mistake. The
clearance void time usually isn't long
enough to allow for taxiing to the runway,
completing a runup, and departing.
There are exceptions. At a particularly
sleepy airport with enough room
on the ramp, you could do your runup
before taxiing, get the clearance, and
then taxi and depart. Busy nontowered
airports are a different challenge. If
you're collecting the clearance on the
phone, it's probably best to taxi to the
runup area, call for the clearance, and
then complete the runup while waiting
for the response. Usually, it takes them
a few minutes to receive the clearance
and relay it back to you. If you're using
an RCO, it's probably not a bad idea to
complete the runup first and then call.
