When the planes land on the lake, do Coast Guard regulations or the FAR's
apply?


I had heard from a CFI that ther eis a fly in occasionally, and they meet
up
in some bay. He told me they also do that in Winter when the lake freezes
over.

Nice troll. Got everyone gabbing.

Since you've tossed out various comments about "right of way" and pilots and
airplanes, yet have managed to post nothing that indicates any knowledge on
your part, I'll give you a little something to chew on:

While approaching to land, the seaplane is a plane, and is subject to the
FARs and a myriad of other Federal statutes pertaining to aircraft, as are
you and all the other vessels nearby who may have an impact on the
operation. Recklessly interfering with aircraft operation may get you
points among your buds at your marina, but not with the USDoJ.

When the seaplane has landed, it is a boat, and is subject to the Navigation
Rules -- USCG Comdtinst M16672.2 -- as are all the other vessels on Winni,
including yours. Don't waste you time browsing the book [you may find it
gets complicated], just go directly to Rule 2. It covers all the manly bs
pumpers who think they know what they can get away with, and why.

Assuming you mean Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, there is a seaplane
base at Alton Bay.

Not only is it a seaplane base, but it is an FAA-approved ice runway
in the winter, the only such dual-use 'port in the United States.

One could ask the same question of the boaters.
Why are you spoiling this great seaplane landing area.

The fact is, the lake belongs to all, even the obnoxious drunk speed
boaters. I fear them more than any seaplane.

(Skylune, why is it all of your posts seem like trolls?)

It's because he's a troll.

'Cause he hates us. He says he got about 15 hours training, got scared, and has
decided to lobby for rules getting us "amateurs" out of the skies.

Because she smells like a new truck.

OK, enough of you fools. "Got scared.." LOL. What I said: it is not
possible to become proficient enough to handle all the situations you will
encounter in the air if you are one of those weekend pilots.

Weird how warped, and thin skinned some of you pilots are.

As far as the life insurance exclusion policy, several of you other
knucklehead posters denied this existed. Of course this too is totally
wrong. See below for example....

Listen, I could care less what you guys do for fun, as long as it doesn't
affect others. But it does. Some of us are sick of paying taxes for
runway improvements at GA airports, having small planes zoom over our
houses, the arrogant little jerk Phil Boyer, planes crashing into
buildings, roadways, etc., little 14 year olds taking planes for joy rides
because there IS NO SECURITY, etc.




Report in fatal plane crash released


By Kurt Johnson


The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued its preliminary
report on the May 28 plane crash that killed Taylor resident Clayton
Young.



The report is available on the NTSB's Web site, www.ntsb.gov, in the
aviation accident database.



The preliminary report lists only the most basic facts of the case and is
subject to change. Craig Hatch, the NTSB air safety investigator
investigating the accident, said he would file a more thorough "factual
report" within six months of the accident and that a "probable cause"
report would be made available to the public within three months of the
factual report.



The preliminary report lists the weather conditions of the day of the
crash, the details of the plane and some witness statements.



"Several witnesses reported that the airplane appeared 'normal' and
started to climb just prior to impact with powerlines ...," according to
the report. "The witnesses observed the airplane for approximately a
quarter mile, 'with pieces falling off,' until the airplane subsequently
collided with rising terrain. The majority of airplane was consumed by a
post-crash fire."



Young's life insurance policy did not cover accidents occurring in planes
he piloted, according to his family.



He left behind a wife, Emmi, and five children.



According to a friend of the family, Young's death came before he was able
to send out his bills and invoices for the plumbing work he had done in
May. Those who wish to pay outstanding bills are asked to contact Emmi at
(512) 352-3548.



A memorial fund for Young has been established at City National Bank.

Cars have security - kids break into them without a problem. Even without
keys, they then manage to override that (secondary) steering wheel security
layer. How could this happen? I thought cars were (double) locked - and thus
secure?

People are constantly being killed and (severely) injured by car thieves
blowing through intersections, crossing medians, going the wrong way down
streets, plowing into stopped traffic, plowing into pedestrians, etc.

Want to ramp up SECURITY to address this little FACT rather than chasing
scary shadows?
