I extended a formation to let a Mooney in, spaced myself so he would clear at the second exit -- he decided to take exit #3, while slowing down to taxi speed and keeping in the center of our 150 ft wide runway! I radioed, "Mooney clear right, please." Nothing! Another time (some 40+ years ago, I was flying a Beech 18 into an airport, where a Champ was doing T&Gs. I spaced myself, but he decided to stay on the runway and slow-taxi to the end. I cleaned it up, applied climb power and held it low until I passed over him. The sound of 2 R-985s at climb power HAD to get his attention! Are you able to quote a specific regulation that prevents you from landing behind the aircraft in these situations? The laws of physics might come into play. That's a matter of pilot judgment, isn't it? No physics is not a matter of pilot judgement. If they are going to come into play is a matter of pilot judgement. |

In my high performance tail dragger there is absolutely no forward
visibility on the ground. If the preceding plane is not completely clear, there is no way to see and avoid. |

If he'd just kept on going, would you guys have kept on following? If someone ahead of me is flying 2.5 miles beyond the normal downwind, I turn base. I'll be tying up the airplane before he gets back. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) -- Message posted via AviationKB.com http://www.aviationkb.com/Uwe/Forums...ation/200705/1 |

Isn't this guideline based on the theory that there is a higher chance of engine failure during changes in power settings? A reduction of power while entering the pattern, I recall reading, presents a statistically higher chance of engine failure than while at cruise. Old Wives Tale might be more appropriate. Lycoming reported on this theory and the one about running "oversquare" rpm/mp settings. It's on page 65 of this .pdf : http://www.lycoming.com/support/tips...Operations.pdf Anecdotally, I've known quite a few pilots that have experienced engine failure over the years and the vast majority happened in cruise.

If he'd just kept on going, would you guys have kept on following? Interesting question. I was #4 on downwind. If #2 had turned base, I think that would have been reasonable, but #4 turning base in front of 3 people on downwind might not have been appropriate...

"Jay Honeck" wrote in message oups.com... We shall term this the "McNicoll effect", for while being entirely within the bounds of the law, was being a complete ass and mucking it up for the rest of us. Excellent. Well done. Actually, I think you are really on to something here. This newly coined phenomenon could explain much about what happens in the air -- and on the ground. In fact, this "McNicoll Effect" just might explain everything that is wrong with our society -- and even the world! There is so much of this sort of thing going on -- often completely unexplained -- that some sort of a blanket explanation was just begging to be discovered. And you did it! Dang, Gnu, you may have just tipped the sociological and political world on its ear today -- good show! :-) -- Jay Honeck Outstanding work by both of you, particularly the Gnu. I have witnessed the McNicoll Effect in this forum frequently. I was able to quickly identify the root cause, but never came up with an appropriate name for it. Or at least one that was suitable for a public forum. KB |

... I had an occassion where I entered downwind, had already passed the field, only other traffic was a guy still several miles out on a straight in final, and the tower cleared me for immediate landing, which was no problem in a 150, so I turned base - the guy still miles out really got his shorts bunched up and started screaming that someone had cut in front of him!!!!! Tower told him to cool it, there was more than adequate spacing.. d:-)) He obviously was not listening to the radio, otherwise he would have heard tower give you clearance to land! Crash Lander |

He was listening, just not thinking. It did give me a VBG when the tower told him to not sweat it! |
