23 July OSH accident audio

Jose,

No, but now the pilots, knowing more than before, can make their own
evalutions.


How? What changes in your evaluation from "hold there" to "hold there
because of an accident"?

"Hold there because of an accident" provides an idea of how long the delay
will be, "hold there" does not.

Steven,

will be


How long will it be? I seriously want to know.

Minimum for a collapsed gear, 30 minutes, fatal acciden t60 - 90 minutes,
would be close.

Morgans,

Minimum for a collapsed gear, 30 minutes, fatal acciden t60 - 90 minutes,
would be close.


So if a controller says "delay due to accident", you have a 300 percent
error margin, with 30 minutes probably being sensible to wait out and 90
minutes being a little on the long side. I wouldn't know what to do with
that information, but, well, that's just me.

When I flew to OSH back in 2002, I had refueled at Kirksvill, MO (IRK)
and as such, I had at least 2 hours of fuel, just in case there was
any sort of delay... I can see how someone with less of a fuel reserve
might start getting a bit testy with the prospect of an indeterminate
delay...

Grumman-581,

. I can see how someone with less of a fuel reserve
might start getting a bit testy with the prospect of an indeterminate
delay...


So, accident or not, they leave...

One hour minimum.

And I choose to take that 1 to 3 hour wait back at Portage, where I can have
a couple of more morning brats, listen to 120.7 for the chatter to start
back up, fill up the tanks, and relax.

As for not announcing that the incident/accident was fatal, not a problem.
Simply say "accident" and be done with it. Now we know it isn't airport
overload.

Oshkosh and "gottagetthere" don't belong in the same sentence.
