At least the person who wrote yes did so under your name. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...65519e8e9c8d7a You asked a question, I simply provided the correct answer. And the answer affirmed that you would consider a flight aligned with the landing runway, with the intent to land, but at 100 miles distant to be "on final." |

Matt, Steve, stop it please. "Yes you did" "No I didn't"; haven't heard an exchange like this since the fourth grade. You are right. It is almost as bad as people that constantly whine about posts that aren't trimmed. Matt |

Don't be rude on the radio

So what? You're both on downwind, why can't he just follow you? If he's too fast he moves over, he may even get to a point where he's looking right over at you. Big deal. He'll extend hiw downwind. If that makes the slow guy nervous get over it. We're talking about a pattern full of student pilots here. If a fast aircraft can actually fly at the prevailing speed of the pattern, isn't it courteous to do so? Ask. Do you have me in sight? Houston Gulf traffic, Cessna 123 downwind screeee! tuning base, La Porte screeee two second gap, press Push to talk "Cessna 345, Bonanza behind me do you have me in sight?" release PTT "mid field downwind, La Porte" click "Houston Gulf traffic, Tripacer 789 departing 13 ...." I specifically mentinoned a busy training airfield. On a nice sunny day, with three airfields sharing the same frequency, the radio is squealing like a pig with heterodyning. All the (in this example) Bonanza would have to do would be to slow to prevailing traffic speed. Is this too much to ask? No. -- Yes, the Reply-To email address is valid.

"On final" means an aircraft is on the final approach course or is aligned with a landing area. Distance does not matter. |
