I am heading to Twenty Nine Palms Ca. this Friday. Is there anyone who has used that airport? Any thing I should know about it. Thanks, Randy

Nothing special about the airport itself, I took my multiegine training
nearby (at) salton sea (below sea level) and we used it for some IFR
approaches. Depending upon your route takes you pass through the Banning
Pass, just north of Palm Springs, you can expect some bumps,
particularly if late in the day or if there is any wind (very common).
if you come down through the Calif inland valleys and come on the
backside of mtns you will avoid that and most of the Trafic associated
with the LAX and Ontario/Riverside approaches.

I flew out of there a gozillion years ago while I was stationed at the Marine Corps base..
Look out for the wind - it can whip up and sandblast an airplane in a nanosecond.....the scenery from the air is great though!

Check the wind, it can be nasty.

Stay well away from the leeward back burbles, the turbulence can be
teeth rattling. Be mindful of correct ridgeline crossing heading and
altitudes. I had a friend who was knocked out cold from a smack from
both an errant mike and baggage as we ventured through the pass. Early
AM is best.

We had a nice flight down. It was a little bumpy all of the way down.
We flew at 13,500 to Yerington for fuel and then at 11,500 into Bullhead
City for the night. We landed after dark. That MX20 terrain feature was
just the ticket with all of the mountains around that field. Short 50
min flight to TNP the next day. Leaving tomorrow am and flying on the
west side of the mountains this time. I have written down all of my
performance numbers and will post them when I get back. Randy

If I reimburse you for some of the gas, can we get high altitude
performance numbers on both the Mountain High and VANS Engine Service
Ceiling estimate for your engine? The headwinds don't look too bad.

I can't speak to the Mountain High system, but as to the engine, I would say
the practical service ceiling is 18,000 feet. I have it on good, but
anonymous, authority that it will make it to around 21,000, but doesn't like
to climb fast or fly fast (or even hold altitude well) that high.
