What else should ATC have done? Where should they have sequenced her? Vectored her hither and yon until they found a dead spot? Is that the way you'd want to be handled? She may have been sequenced into an area where they thought, given the performance of other prepared individuals in...

You can also do it with a flight of 3 Seminoles trying to get enough legal visibility to land. We came very close, but the fog kept rolling in, so we diverted and waited it out. LOL Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Then it's your job to educate them. People who don't know the system need not form uneducated opinions. ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After watching, I really don't see how anyone can lay this at ATC's feet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you can't learn from the mistakes of others, maybe the ground is safer for you. Threads like this, along with the audio and video can serve as powerful reminders to encourage pilots not to do some thing stupid or beyond their own capabilities. I guess you can learn from it or.. Sent...

Yeh, looks like the ducky has to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeh, that's what I was thinking, but figured I'd run it by the "been there, wearing the shirt" types before I committed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This one belongs to a friend who hasn't picked up his TW endorsement yet. Local rental TD is down for good it appears. It's a great flying little bird. Very much like a Champ. Needs more rudder than a Champ or she'll slide out on you. This one has a Valley Engineering 2276 100hp on it...

Pick up traffic in the pattern, approaching the pattern, etc.. 25nm range would be plenty. Cloth over metal. Nieuport 24. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm flying a Nieuport 24 and the airport we fly out of is busy enough that knowing what is coming is a nice to have thing. The Sporty's handheld I'm using can pick up ok, but just barely. I'm thinking about a new remote antenna for it, just thought I'd see what the hive thought? Anyone...

Not really. NavWorx has a unit ok the list, just not the EXP variant.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, *I* couldn't start over. Someone else might be able to in an area far, far away.. :)

Things I never said - "nuclear operators and engineers can't make mistakes." Things I said - "I'm not allowed to perform at a level any lower than perfect." I'm not allowed to make mistakes. Mistakes are not ok. Anything less than "excellence" is not allowed. Bring that to the table, you'll...

Some very hard words for "low time" guys to utter. One thing I've always taught my students is don't let ATC kill you. When you're "up there" sweating it out, he's down there sitting in the AC.

People let ATC tell them what to do all the time. I got into a situation in some ice once and ATC wasn't helping, so I declared an emergency and told ATC what I'd be doing. Low time guy with me couldn't believe we were telling not asking.

Yep.. I'm not allowed to perform at a level any lower than perfect. I'm an assistant reactor operator. We don't get "do overs."

Mistakes in my career could kill entire population centers... So.. No..

Yeh, I guess we will split time between Hard 8 and the pool at the La Quinta.. LOL
