Hardly. Nobody with half a brain would consider me to be "on final" for
an airport that is 100 miles distant when I'm still climbing out from the
departure airport.


Would you self announce to aircraft at your destination airport that you
were on final when 100 miles distant?



Absolutely not. I'm not the one who said I would be on final this far
away ... that would be you who said that.

Absolutely not.

Then it's irrelevant.

I didn't say that.

Actually, you did. May 13th at 9:08 AM. At least the person who wrote
yes did so under your name.

You asked a question, I simply provided the correct answer.

Matt, Steve, stop it please. "Yes you did" "No I didn't"; haven't heard an
exchange like this since the fourth grade.

Steve is the king of these arguments. Various other suckers get drawn in,
along the way.

I quit reading Steven's posts, because of his picking nits off of nits.

Shame really, because he has a lot of good experience and information.

You are right. It is almost as bad as people that constantly whine
about posts that aren't trimmed.

And the answer affirmed that you would consider a flight aligned with
the landing runway, with the intent to land, but at 100 miles distant to
be "on final."

"On final" means an aircraft is on the final approach course or is aligned
with a landing area. Distance does not matter.
