"What
gives passenger "A" any more "right" to arrive at the airport that MY "right" to arrive" Easy: the fundamental North American law that states "Whoever burns the most oil is the most righteous." Oddly enough, the only near accident I've seen that had lack of radio communication as the primary factor involved a Cessna Citation and a regional airline King Air at a small uncontrolled airport. The King Air was on the airfield frequency and on final, the Citation was on some other frequency and entered the runway and took off downwind directly at the King air which had to go around rather abruptly. All those radios don't do much good if they're not being used properly! Fortunately all the club and private gliders at my field have radios and we have several handhelds too. The only problem we have are the pilots who don't seem to pay much attention to what is being said on air. "Sierra Sierra this is Sierra Tango, are you intending to enter the circuit?"......."Sierra Sierra this is Sierra Tango over?."...."Sierra Sierra, Sierra Tango, over?"...."Sierra Tango to any traffic, radio check please?","Sierra Tango this is Sierra Uniform, reading you five by five","Thank you Sierra Uniform"...."Sierra Sierra this is Sierra Tango do you read me, do you read me over?"..............................."Was someone calling Sierra Sierra?"...........etc, etc. |
