IFR Oakland - “Almost” Like the Pros - Pre-Departure Clearance

Post by waynemcc999 »


A simple out-and-back to Oakland provides a couple pleasant twists… an Arrival Procedure and the chance to pick up a Pre-Departure Clearance… almost like being a Pro Pilot! Welcome aboard! Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot

Wayne:

Nice video. Brought back memories of flying the Bay area in the early 80s (I was stationed at Moffett Field - NUQ). Never departed IFR from KOAK, but sure was routed here and there on Bay Tour flights, and in the P3 on approach to Moffett.

Cool video, Wayne. I didn't know OAK has PDC.
Let me know when you'll stop by HWD in the future!

I've been through OAK a few times in the past couple years and didn't notice PDC until this time... perhaps PDC is new there?
Wil do on HWD!
Thanks for watching,
