This weekend I was flying down to Ocean City NJ.... I was second in
pattern when someone came on the radio calling to the pilot on final approach. Pilot on final, Pilot on final....you have the wrong freq. We were flying, and didn't reply. He came on again, Pilot on Final you have the wrong freq.... And repeated. Apparently the "good samaritan" was thinking of Ocean City Md, which has a different Freq. I finally got on and TX that we are on the right Freq...... I have to admit, the whole thing was a bit distracting! My few seconds of being distracted by this was enough to affect my pattern alt. I understand the person was trying to be helpful but.....If the pilot has already made it to final, why keep on TX'g? I mean the pilot is on Final, let him/her concentrate on putting the plane down! The person Tx'g wasn't on the field, didn't see what was going on and was creating more of a situation than he was trying to help prevent. It was a good lesson for me to try and tune out nonesense and just fly the plane. I'm glad it was just a minor distraction like the radio and in the future I'll be better prepared for a distraction in pattern. So I guess I should say Thanks! Doug |
