Private Pilots Get Their Chance to Fly into Major Airports

  Back in April I spotted a Cessna 182 doing some late night touch-and-gos...at Chicago ORD. https://imgur.com/a/dIWXfij https://imgur.com/a/dIWXfij

    I wonder if you could still get away with this right now?

      Probably. Here’s someone that did it 4 years ago (although it was just a full-stop taxi and back out). It just takes some polite asking to TRACON on a hopefully quiet night. https://youtu.be/vipvtaRbQho https://youtu.be/vipvtaRbQho

  Private Pilots have always been able to fly into major airports.

    Yes, at ATC’s discretion. Which you won’t receive, at least not cheerfully, at a busy airport.
