Paul:? I have Bluetooth to my BOSE head set from my telephone and have found it useful.? Sometimes getting a signal from a cell tower can be difficult; however, with only one com radio in my little bird, I have found the telephone useful for tower communication and obtaining a landing clearance.? I have used this method when I was having radio trouble ~ two years ago.

"app" = application, folks today just cannot seem to finish the word.? I suppose that is like trike and tricycle, bike and bicycle???

I hope you have a GREAT evening!

It was on my new app but my not being totally familiar with it was a factor. Once I was in the air, calling the number to check/find out why it was closed would have been a moot point.?

Thanks!

Today I decided to fly to KLWB Lewisburg for dinner with flight following. Runway 24 was in use at KROA. About the time I crossed the mountain over the Catawba Valley, Roanoke Tower informed me that they were just told that the runway at KLWB was closed until the 6th of next month (I could be wrong about that date, but that is what I heard). I took a right & returned to KROA via the NE Practice Area.

I looked up KLWB on my flying App (iflyEFB), & could not find anything, NOTAM or otherwise, pertaining to KLWB having its runway closed.

Later, I googled the airport website mylwb.com & found a note there saying that the runway would be closed from 8/25/24-8/31/24 but might be closed longer based upon the weather & the project progress.

Am I missing something? Does this runway closure show up on ForeFlight or FlyQ or something else?

Thanks,
