tetchy ‘weight shift crowd’s’ responses
:rolleyes:
All areas of flying have their idiots, those who are incapable of doing things properly, and those who cant be bothered to or dont even know how to check NOTAMS, but I guess that it’s the “Accident in the rear view mirror” syndrome that features here.
I was at Dover all day on Saturday, both at the school landing strip and down at the harbour and most of the RA(T) infringements I saw, funnily enough, were microlights……There was even a German aircraft which did an unannounced beat up of the airstrip, without clearance or R/T contact. Oh, guess what? – a microlight! Of course, there was the obligatory Cessna flying through the air display area, but to cap that, he turned round and came back for a second look…….
Not surprising really is it, to have 300+ microlights, an air race, 2 air displays and the combined Red Arrows & Patrouille de France teams all converging on one piece of sky with the supposed ‘protection’ of a RA(T) and a few infringements occur.
I must say that the days proceedings and lack of airmanship displayed by a lot of pilots, both microlight and fixed wing, made me feel quite embarrassed to be part of the UK GA scene..
Tetchy indeed……:diablo:
