Straight-ins at uncontrolled airports?
"Don Tuite" wrote in message
... The first part says somebody "on final" has RoW. The second says the lower aircraft "approaching an airport for the purpose of landing" has the RoW. Is the second part clarifying or contradicting the first part? Don I'd say the second part clarifies it if 2 a/c are about to land. The a/c on it's 5 mile final will most definitely be at a higher altitude than the one who is at pattern altitude and is about to turn onto final. This reads to me that the a/c already in the pattern has ROW over the a/c on a long final. Oz Lander

Don Well, if the low a/c was on the downwind, it's possible the a/c on the 5 mile final would get down before the downwind a/c. Having said that, the a/c on downwind can easily extend the downwind leg to allow the 5 mile final a/c to land. An a/c on base cannot extend the leg to allow the 5 miler to land. -- Oz Lander. I'm not always right, But I'm never wrong.
