I personally don't think pilots declare emergencies enough. A few days ago, a malibu pilot here at Palo Alto had high oil temp and didn't declare, and tried to land here. Too high, too fast, rolled the thing off the end, destroyed it and injured herself. Could have just declared an emergency and landed at Oakland instead (long, wide runway, lots of fire trucks). Let me get this straight, you wanted her to declare an emergency and fly across 15 miles or so of water (aka SF Bay) with high oil temp? How about just turning around and flying the couple of miles to Moffat Field (where they also have a long wide runway with fire engines)? Even San Jose International is closer than Oakland. Marc
