There is no obligation for ATC to pass information on to "an itinerant
GA pilot".

.... but there is also no =ability= to do so either. Were the military
pilot on an appropriate CLEARANCE, that ability would exist. We'd be
further along towards safer shared use.

If a military pilot is on an enroute delay during his ALWAYS IFR
Flight Plan, he would be operating in a MOA, a restricted area, a
warning area, on a low-level training route, or in a VFR traffic
pattern.

There you go again with the flight plan nonsense. This military pilot
(unless he's in a bona fide restricted area) would be operating in
JOINT-USE airspace.

It was a true statement and an attempt to educate you so that you
could at some point ask the question you really wanted to ask.

You are beginning to resemble another poster here.

If you understand the objective of the accident board, the composition
of the board made up of outside-the-unit individuals, and the
follow-on alternatives based on the findings of the board, and still
insist that the board is somehow not a "disinterested third party"
there is little help for you.

It is a military board judging a military pilot who killed a civilian
pilot. This is not a disinterested board.

Suspension of license is an administrative proceeding.

This doesn't matter much to the pilot whose license is suspended or revoked.

Now, pay attention here because this will again confuse you. A
military pilot does not have an FAA issued pilot certificate.

I know. I knew. It doesn't matter.

I would expect the civil proceeding to find the pilot liable for
millions of dollars in damages to the dead Cesesna pilot and his estate.

Why? The FAA wouldn't bring that proceeding.

It doesn't matter whether the FAA brings that proceeding or not. It
will be brought. Need I educate you about lawyers?

Now, is the military pilot immune from civil prosecution?
Would a civilian pilot who did the same thing be immune?

I would find it inconcievable that the (civilian) fighter pilot would
get away with a "reprimand" from the FAA, and no financial
responsibility towards the pilot of the Cessna he crashed into.

Do you disagree?


If you've followed through all of these posts and still ask that
question, my saying "YES, I disagree" today will probably also escape
your comprehension.

So, you think that if a civilian pilot had done the same thing that
military pilot did, it would not be surprising for him to get away with
a reprimand from the FAA and no liability for the death of the Cessna pilot?
