On arrival at Key West I pulled my TBM 700 past the Taxi way hold short line and keyed the mic to say hello to ground…
Me: Ground, we’re going to stop here to clean up a bit.
Ground: Why? It looked like a great landing from here…
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- A pilot landed a TBM 700 aircraft at Key West and stopped past the taxiway hold short line.
- The pilot informed ground control of their intent to stop for a "cleanup."
- Ground control responded by complimenting the landing, humorously implying that a cleanup was unnecessary given the quality of the approach.
