A tower-induced go-round

Thing is, Jay, he has a point. Many a time you've posted stories
about something odd happening during a flight. When your aspects of
judgement ended up being questioned, you consistently deflected
criticism. That's only natural, but sometimes saying "I should have
done that differently!" would be healthy.

There is absolutely nothing in my story that is inconsistent, nor is
there anything that I would have -- or should have -- done
differently.

Nothing in my telling of the tale has changed from start to finish,
either. It is only Steven -- and you, apparently -- that sees change
where none exists.

If Steven wants to quibble about how precisely far out I was when the
student was in front of me, that's his option -- but please don't side
with his form of anal insanity.

Let's check the record.

On 3/16 you wrote:
"Having landed at OSH and SNF a few times, I knew I was spaced just
fine -- IF the 172 would only get off the danged runway."

On 3/18 you wrote:
"Face it, the controller should have had the 172 follow me in. He
misjudged the spacing."

Going from "spaced just fine" to "he misjudged the spacing" sure looks like
a change to me.

I don't recall quibbling about how far out you were. I recall asking how
far out you were and you being unable to provide an accurate response,
despite having GPS. You finally decided you were about 1/2 mile out when
the student landed 1500' down the runway. If your estimates are accurate
there was proper spacing.

I swore I wouldn't do this, but here goes....

"Spaced just fine for Oshkosh" -- in pilot-speak -- means that I
probably won't die, but it's TOO DAMNED CLOSE FOR REGULAR OPERATIONS
AT A ONE-HORSE AIRPORT.

Get it now?

To thine own self be true.

That's swell, Jay, but "Spaced just fine for Oshkosh" did not appear in any
of your previous messages.

I sure do. You hold an incorrect understanding of Class D airspace and ATC
and you hold controllers responsible for pilot's actions.

Wrong again? Dang.

Well, at least you're consistent.

You're short on integrity.
