Nothing there about crosswind being the "standard" departure.


Note the use of quotation marks to denote the fact that it is not an

of operation while at the airport.

So he leaves the area in a different direction than everyone else. Why is
that a problem?


It's a problem when he tries to leave by going through me. It's a
problem when he doesn't announce his departure vector. It's a problem
when he doesn't respond or acknowledge position reports. It's a problem
when he disrupts the nominally formed traffic pattern. It's a problem
when he flies directly opposite the approach and likely descent vectors
(following the Paradise VOR) of other aircraft. It's a REAL problem when
he does it at 140 knots.

Did you not actually read my responses? It seems likely, after the way
you treated Jay.
