4. The pilots on the ground should notice


What pilots on the ground should notice?

The ones who mistakenly pulled out in front of the landing aircraft?



5. The BRITE display in the cab should paint a weird picture of a weird
approach on radar


Why? Have you ever seen BRITE radar? Have you ever been in an ATCT? Have
you been to an airport?


I do have to admit that on one training flight in actual to Pontiac
(PTK) as I was coming down the glide slope fighting a 90 degree cross
wind that seemed to counter every correction the tower did come on
and ask if I planned on landing on the taxiway, or was I going to use
the runway. I replied I was kinda hoping for the big one on the left
with all the marks painted on it if the wind would cooperate. When we
broke out pretty close to DH I was very close to being lined up. I had
to be with as sensitive as those needles get that low. :-))

OTOH that is more than a bit different than trying to see an airplane
100 feet left or right of centerline from the cab.

No, you're not a messenger, you're just an idiot.

Certainly a bit...aw...never mind.
