IFR hold short line at uncontrolled airports?
Today I dropped an Angel Flight patient off at Massena, NY (KMSS), an
uncontrolled airport in the very north portion of NY state. The weather was 50 feet above minimums and the ILS was the only way in. Once the patient was safely in the warm terminal, I preflighting and started up, only to learned that there was an Air Midwest B1900 ten minutes out. Flight Service could not release me until the B1900 was down and canceled IFR. To ensure that I was ready to go, I taxied to the departure end and performed the pre-takeoff checklist. Then it hit me. There was no ILS hold short line marked, yet weather was right at minimums and I was sure I was beyond the ILS transmitter tower. So as not to potentially interfere with the ILS signal, I turned around and taxied back to what I believe was the transmitter tower (it was dark) and waited for the aircraft to land. Did I overreact, or should there be ILS hold short lines at uncontrolled airports with ILS approaches? -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
