On a *clear* day where visibility is above marginal VFR, couple miles
from the airport, I am betting what you are describing is a very,
very and very rare occurance.


How much are you willing to bet?

Again, from your experiences, sounds like I am right....

What you describe above would **almost** sound like an emergency
situation for a lost pilot and nothing near the norm???


Why is that?

Ummm lost pilot doesn't bode well for traffic????? Be realistic, clear
day, VMC and the pilot doesn't see the airport within a couple of miles?

Sounds like a problem, not the norm.
