shafs64 Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Was out flying friday morning doing stalls and force landing revision. And when finish headed back to the Airfield to join up and land. winds where in favor of 14 and as we joined cross wind for that runway a aircraft siad that they where taking off from 32 ? then a chopper called who was hovering at the end of 14 to say that the winds favored 14 and we where calling the aircraft and 32 and he was just sitting there. I don't know if he had his radio down or he just was not listening to us Whiles where going around in circles.
boingk Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Thats ridiculous... did you make a call asking them WTF they were doing? Nothing worse than an incommunicative aircraft sitting right where you need to go. - boingk
shafs64 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 The pilot in the chopper called him three times before he responded. i was busy keeping an eye on everyone and flying.and whats more alarming i was told a CFI was in the aircraft.
djpacro Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 People make mistakes, things go wrong so maybe not intentional. The system seemed to work didn't it. 2
davebutler Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Hi shafs64, Which airfield do fly from. See you from Brissy & can't think of a local field with a 14 - 32 runway - just curious
