Anybody know the airnet guy that landed at bkv at 3:00 today?

[threegreen]

Why is it a good thing?

It's a 'good' thing because I was being sarcastic...

You're calling someone out on the INTERNET in a most indirect way. And from what it sounds like, no harm no foul.

 

[barnyard]

and if a midair occured you would have been cited it for not following a recommend procedure

no if a midair occurred, you'd be DEAD.

I cut off a 402 yesterday because I was making a straight in... boo hoo.

 

[T-Storm Chaser]

He did a straight in to final and cut us off when we were on base

So....let me get this right, you knowingly turned base when you knew this guy was rocketing in on final. I am assuming that both of you were making radio calls. That seems to be a bad judgment call (great example for your student) on your part to knowingly turn base and force this guy to abort the landing and possiblly cause all kinds of other issues. Look, an all out traffic pattern is not required by law, it is recommended, but sometimes not practical. This guy is on a tight schedule (I also fly checks and other freight, so i understand), and he flies an aircraft that is much faster than yours, which makes it less manueverable.

Refer to rule # 1 & 2 posted earlier

Freight Dogs always have the right of way... Yield to us as we are the best pilots out there! Don't ever forget it either!!!

 

[fulcrum]

Almost All Airnet flights are under IFR (even In VMC) we always file . so probably this guy was on a straight in IFR approach or a visual Approach or a contact approach. so he probably never thought about joining the pattern

You may also want to rethink your attitude. The other guy a "jerk" for "cutting you off", you've been doing pattern work for over an hour, how about extending some common courtesy and simply extending you downwind a little.

Exactly. I don't know what the big deal is, usually you can work these deals out with a little simple radio work and some planning.

It seems like there's two kinds of people that you can't work "deals" out with; certain self serving bastards that fly their own twins and CFI's that have some kind of baseless point to prove.

 

[say again]

I make straight-in approaches all the time. IT'S LEGAL !!!!!! If you want to add me to your "list", go for it. I'm sure me and the rest would get a kick on what a tool you are:laugh: !!!!!!

BTW- Quite your f-ing whining, or go to towered airports only:smash: !!!!!

 

[labbats]

It all revolves around his radio calls. Did he call and report his position? If so, then move, if not, then he's a jerk and deserves extra seeds in his FBO popcorn.

 

[DeathPencil]

Nice job Barnyard. Anything but a straight in with the Pipe is just too much work.

well said liked it a lot thanks for saving me the time

Point of order, Mr. Chairman. The dude with the "list" and the dude that didn't like the straight-in are not the same person.

 

[100LL... Again!]

Whiney little CFI tools need to think a little. You probably have a very closed-minded interpretation of the regulations and procedures that are appropriate and normal.

My airline regularly conducts straight-in approaches to uncontrolled fields, often with light singles in the pattern. We slow down and politely coordinate with those aircraft, and everyone is happy. Occasionally, a whiney CFI tool (who wants to prove to all that he is superior to those airline fools) decides to whine about our straight-ins.

These idiots get nowhere, 100% of the time.

These CFIs have an almost 'religious' attitude in regard to their interpretation of the regs. Save us your FAR/AIM jihad.




Thanks for the link, by the way. I love to see holier-than-thou a-holes like that lose their licenses! I'd love to find out what he's doing now.

 

[Snakum]

Glad to have you back 100LL! We thought we were going to have to beat you severely about the head and shoulders if you persisted with those sensible, logical posts you were making (see details below) on other threads.

:bomb::smash: Bonk ... bonk ... bonk ...

When I was a CFI the best part of my day was watching the Airnet guy in a 60 degree bank to final. He always made calls and was very curteous. It was also amazing to watch him go from engine start to wheels up in about a minute. We all have to remember what being a CFI was like - i.e - "If I haven't done it, it can't be safe and shouldn't be done."

Luckily all my stops are towered now!

Ahhhh the good ole days of being able to start one up and begin the taxi while the other starts up and be airborne VERY fast. Kinda loses its pizaz when you have to wait for the turbines to spool up and then do the long taxi to the end of the runway for the full length takeoff versus the intersection (most airports). And those nice base turns to final coming in at 150 knots pulling it up as you bank it over onto final throwing the gear and flaps out as you are just about to level the wings and making a nice short field approach so that you can make that first taxiway to the FBO/drop location. That was fun, and i miss it sometimes, but the jet is just as much fun, you just need more room.
