Keep the kid off the racetrack and everybody's happy. Responsible adults do that. The fact that by choosing to fly a 172 the pilot severely limits his ability to visually clear the airspace is fodder for another thread. Airliners aren't known for great visibility either. And yet they have so few MAC's. Why is that? Jack |

Race cars are not raced =to= the racetrack on side streets. You also have to keep the race car off the sidestreets to make everybody happy. Airliners aren't known for great visibility either. And yet they have so few MAC's. Why is that? Magic. Actually, I think the military also has few MACs (though I haven't looked at the stats), and the airlines =have= had a few MACs of note.
