How could a 737 possibly land this way?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlAN0...eature=related It appears to be a European beer commercial, but looks pretty real; funny as hell anyway. Question from non-pilot: I live in the Atlanta metro area, and see all kinds of aircraft flying over all the time...helicopters, small private planes, corp jets, pipeline inspection planes, military aircraft (air base pretty nearby), and airliners higher up, leaving and coming into Hartsfield. I know there are restricted areas where leisure fliers and such can't fly over, but can g.a. pilots fly pretty much where they want to? Fly around as you please with just keeping an eye out for other craft? Seems like there'd be more near-misses and collisions if that's the case. |

@bignews7.bellsouth.net: How could a 737 possibly land this way? Well, it's not a 737, it s 'bus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlAN0...eature=related It appears to be a European beer commercial, but looks pretty real; funny as hell anyway. Yeah, Heineken, i think. Doesn't look too real and I've never seen an airplane do anything like that, but one of ous 757s had a porpoising incident and I have seen the reconstruction from the recorder and it looked remarkably similar. Question from non-pilot: I live in the Atlanta metro area, and see all kinds of aircraft flying over all the time...helicopters, small private planes, corp jets, pipeline inspection planes, military aircraft (air base pretty nearby), and airliners higher up, leaving and coming into Hartsfield.

Fly around as you please with just keeping an eye out for other craft? Seems like there'd be more near-misses and collisions if that's the case. GA pilots can't fly in controlled airspace ithout the same clearance as anyone else, but they can fly unrestricted in quite a lot of low level airspace. There are "rules of the road" and procedures which keep it pretty safe, as well as just plain looking out the window, which works better than you think. Bertie |

Seems like there'd be more near-misses and collisions if that's the case. it is just a big model aircraft. good enough to suck the noddies in. why does it seem like there would be near misses? the sky is large and aeroplanes small. you have no worries about opposing road traffic that whizzes past in the other direction separated by a 6 inch wide paint line. btw you have no idea about where light aircraft can fly. we can fly into all the largest airports if we fit in with the process of control they use. think of an aeroplane as a speedboat in a different fluid.
