"The OTHER Kevin in San Diego" skiddz *AT* adelphia *DOT* net wrote in message ... Can you pick up a lgiht gun signal from 5 miles? At night, yeah I could see that, but in the daytime?? I don't see why not, they are rather bright. Of course, that assumes the signal is pointed at the aircraft, which requires the controller to have the aircraft in sight, and the pilot is looking at the control tower. Since you have to maintain comms during all operations to, from or on that airport, how might a deaf pilot receive instructions while outbound? Not trying to start an argument, it's just this subject has piqued my curiosity.. By phoning the tower and arranging for the use of light gun signals. That may require the assistance of another party, of course. |
