![]() "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message nk.net... What's short final? Aircraft enter runways and takeoff in front of aircraft on final regularly without mishap. Absolutely. I've been asked by ATC to make "short approach" in front of faster aircraft multiple times. I'm comfortable with that as I trained at a very busy class D field. Sometimes I've accepted and sometimes I've declined. But everyone's on the radio and knows what's going on... I believe the OP said he was on a on 1/4 to 1/2 mile final. Maybe. Maybe not. Many pilots are absolutely horrible at judging distance. There may have been plenty of room. I substantially agree. That's why I gave the estimate a wide margin. I was doing about 70 knots, so splitting the difference between my estimates would give about 20 seconds. There would have been much less time if the Citation had pulled out as I was crossing the threshold. |
