Lemme get this straight! You are in instructor, which means you are
instrument rated, which means that you should know that outer markers are
typically at least five miles from the landing zone--so, if you can not
recall for a specific airport, you can still guess five miles. In
addition,
you did not bother to maintain familiarity with the procedures at an
airport
where you typically instruct, you failed to understant that the Cirrus
had
travelled a substantial (probably between a third and a half) of the
distance to the runway, and then you turned in front of known traffic
which
you did not see.


First off, I never said I did nothing wrong. I know I made a mistake
by turning in front of him. We all make mistakes, whether you're an
instructor or not. THE WHOLE POINT of the post was that the Cirrus guy
had to act like a pumpus ass.


Sounds like a typical childish response (ie, making excuses).

The only pompous ass here is yourself.

Is this a joke? Are you being intentionally obtuse? Can you read?
Assuming you can, go back and read the first sentence I wrote.

I know I could have handled that situation a little better. Hindsight
is always 20/20. I accept full responsibility for me turning in front
of him. I have never said anything to the contrary. What on earth
makes you think I'm making excuses?

Are you saying the Cirrus guy was in the right to say what he said on
the radio? You think what I did gave him the right to act as
unprofessionally as he did? Or do you think what he said and how he
said it was indeed professional?
