Trump vs the FAA
Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2015 3:15 pm
The Donald is a strange guy. Dude has made himself into a name brand that crosses all income levels.
Dude has used litigation time and time again. In Florida he has filed lawsuits against the county and airport in Palm Beach claiming noise and growth is hurting his ultra plush club Mar-A-Largo. These suits were dismissed and he ended up with nothing but legal bills.
He recently filed a new lawsuit claiming the County, the Airport, and the FAA have all conspired to route as much traffic as possible over his club as retaliation. This time though he might have a case. There are plenty of stories of pilots asking for runway 14 and being told no and directed to runway 10. Then there is one of the departures for the airport. It is called the IVNKA1 Departure. It includes UFIRD, DONLD, TRMMP, IVNKA, CRYER and BAYBE. Imagine getting the instructions "Turn left heading 051 at you fired."
While this is funny, he might really have a case.
Here is the chart showing the departure.
