Default Mandating Radios? (WAS: Another midair in the pattern)


This is my point about the problem with JJ's *scenario...You can't go
asking questions on CTAF.

Cookie


Why not? I have been known to appoint myself the local flight ops
officer when several people are trying to land. You are number 3, Sven
Vctor, I'm on downwind and Bavo Charlie is on
final................there is a tow plane in the area, where are you
Blue Tow?
The 'proper use' of the radio is not about some imagined users code,
its about establishing and maintaining seperation among airport users,
some of who can't loiter or go around.
