So what's the etiquette for cloud flying in comps? So here we are, four of= us climbing happily at 4 kts under a great big towering cu, no more than 1= 50 vertical feet of separation total. Conditions are poor up ahead but wit= h another 3 or 4 thousand feet we can all make it to the finish with good s= peed and no further climbing. The first guy disappears into the fog. Now = what? Just curious. T8 As you will know from my post I bottled,and it is a historic fact there was a mid air in cloud in a worlds back in the 60's I think David Innes was one it was re written in sailplane and gliding about 10 years ago .As I said enterprise is some what different so there is less chance you will be gaggle flying . Some one will explain I am sure but you need to announce you intentions and position on the comp frequency and change to cloud frequency and re transmit and if you have more courage than me wait till they call clear then off you go. Plonckers need not apply ,I consider anyone without a ATPL a ploncker. |
