I was about to contact him when he turned away from us. We were really Just curious. How do you think you would "contact" the other plane? ------------------------------- Travis Lake N3094P PWK What I was about to do was key the mic and say something along the lines of "Piper doing maneuvers 10 miles NW of Shelbyille, 51F is a C172 at your 2 o'clock (or whever we were)....." And then maybe explain that we'd pass behind him if he'd hold course. I realize there isn't anything in the AIM about this specifically, but it couldn't have hurt! I don't know how close he was, but by the time we passed behind him, I'd *GUESS* we might have been within half a mile (at the closest point and when he was heading away from me). I never felt ANY reason for over-concern. I spotted him first, pointed him out and my CFI perked up when he stopped moving across the windscreen (probably 1 mile out or so). And yes. the "formation" was hyperbole....or exaggeration... ![]() jf |
