The controller told ME to go around, remember? I would have landed behind the student pilot ahead of me -- or over him, if need be -- if the controller hadn't given the order to go around. So... let's see. If under option #1 you landed behind the student, you had enough room to guarantee a full stop before running him down? Since your option #2 would have been to scare the bejeezus out of the student by landing "over him", I presume the student wasn't near the far end of the runway, so some numbers just don't seem right, here. If you needed to be told to "go around" in that scenario, perhaps the controller knows you personally? ;-) What I thought I could or could not do is irrelevant. The controller told me to go around, so I did -- end of story. My point was that had I been on that approach, and saw the plane ahead of me stop dead on the runway, I would have _told the controller_ that I was going around, not figure out how to land with the other plane still on the runway. At an uncontrolled field, if the student had cut in front of me (as he did when he was ordered to do so by the tower controller) I would have executed a 360 degree turn for spacing, or landed short behind him. I also would have got on the radio and asked him to land long and keep it rolling. Which the student may or may not have done while you've committed to landing. I also would not want to be in the pattern with someone suddenly pulling a 360 on final, either. IMO, the scenrios you're presenting do not reflect the most courteous or safe options. Neil |

Cutting in front of someone on final, whether under orders or voluntary, is never safe nor courteous. Which, of course, is the point of this entire thread. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Cutting in front of someone on final, whether under orders or
voluntary, is never safe nor courteous. Never? At any distance? You have trouble with the word "cutting"? I believe that says it all. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I believe that says it all. No, that's a very subjective distance. Some idiots out there announce a five mile final and expect me to follow them. I'll stick a Beech 99 being flown by a freight dog in front of the typical weekend flyer on a mile and a half final all day long. |

I hope that everyone realizes that if the runway was a conveyor belt none of
this would have happened in the first place. BDS |

IMO, the scenrios you're presenting do not reflect the most courteous or safe options. Cutting in front of someone on final, whether under orders or voluntary, is never safe nor courteous. I don't see how following a controller's instructions is discourteous, but it may not always reflect the best judgement, so there are appropriate responses for the PIC in those instances, e.g. "unable". I'm not too surprised that a student wouldn't be comfortable using that option. Which, of course, is the point of this entire thread. This thread seemed more like an aero version of "road rage" to me. In a newsgroup with a lot of folks seeking to learn, that can't be a Good Thing. Neil |
