Ramp Check Today

[roadrunner20]

Received my first ramp check today.

I taxied back to my hangar after my morning flight & the official was waiting for me to exit my 7A.
All my papers were in order and he was very accomodating.
I believe he was working our airport today and from what I heard from others, they were focusing on the medical.

Any other activity out there?
I was curious to know whether this may have been a national directive.

I was at KPIE today over the course of about 2 hours. I didn't see any checks going on.

I doubt it, I think it is a random event unless there have been specific complaints. The Feds that I have talked to view it as a way to "get out among 'em" As Dan learned, if you have your ducks lined up, it is a non-event. Even in the airline business, where it happens a lot more, I have never had a negative experience.

No checks here ... I've never seen one other than when we had several spray planes working at our airport... we had two officials show up then.
