Drunk pilots
If an aircraft is taxiing out from the ramp and controllers notice
that the pilot sounds obviously drunk, what can be done? In a car, the cops can pull him over, but what do you do when a drunken pilot is taxiing out for take-off? What do you do if he's already in the air? And how does handling the situation differ between private pilots and pilots transporting passengers for hire (such as airline pilots). I know the FAA has occasionally pulled airline pilots off a plane when they are drunk (apparently they have to wait until the pilot does something that clearly demonstrates his intention to fly), but I presume that someone or something tips them off in advance. What if they don't find out about it in advance? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Hey Allen - Don't waste your breath here. I can think of at least 2
people who "feel sorry" for him and will answer the troll call. I have found the best procedure is to not even answer to any of the threads he initiates nor directly respond to any of his posts. It is CAVU here in Indiana today... how about Mississippi?

Any BBQ maybe? |

Y'know, that used to be true, but three weeks ago I bought a brand new
12" dobsonian telescope and it's been cloudy around here ever since. Darn thing's been sitting here in my office while I wait for the weather to clear up. Tonight may be the night. :) --Walt Jon Kraus wrote: Funny.... I thought it was always CAVU in Big Sky country... :-) I love it out there.. Jon CAVU here in Montana too.

And eastern Colorado is fantastic -- until late this evening.
Temps are expected to be in the 60s out here on the plains. And Official Winter is only 11 days away. Of course this time last year, we were below 0F. Global warming, El Nino, whatever. |

I am looking for some benign IMC time so I can maintain my IFR currency, can you send me some? Heck, even flew 3 XC's this week, flew high and mighty and not even a volkswagan size cloud to be found. Not that this would keep my IFR current, but any IMC time is better then none :-) Got to experience high performance numbers in my Slowdowner :-) Check out http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N.../KHBG/tracklog Allen |
