We hope everyone's Holiday season went well. Just a little helpful hint this month: We have noticed quite a few people have been taxiing to the runup without caling Ground. This is bad for two reasons: First, if you were to clip another aircraft, your insurance company would ask if you were in a movement area, and if you had clearance to be there. If the answer is “yes”, you were in a movement area, and “no”, you didn't have permsson, then you mght have some probems gettng the company to cover your claim. Second, you are setting up the controllers. We have certain requirements, and givng the pilots the numbers is one of them. So we encourage you to feel free to move about the nonmovement areas without caling, but if you are going to end up departing, please let Ground know.
