From what I recall, his family reported the plane was overdue. Squawking didn't trigger S&R, but it helped locate the wreckage. 2. If contact is lost for more than 15 minutes, Search and Rescue will be alerted. |

AIM 5-1-4 g. With Examples Found it, thank you. The examples aren't very highly codified; perhaps there is no rigid format. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

You are right there are many real pilots that use sim and that inhabit the flight sim newsgroups. Why don't you head back over there and leave us alone? Why do you waste so much time on personal attacks if you dislike me? Why not just killfile me and be done with it? I'm refractory to personal attacks, so they will never have any effect on me. I'm puzzled by people who claim to hate me and yet waste hundreds or thousands of posts on tirades against me. What's the _real_ motivation for this? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

He wouldn't last 30seconds in a conversation or disagreement with real pilots. I've lasted much longer here; am I not communicating with real pilots, then? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

JFK Jr. did not file a flight plan on his final flight. His last communication with ATC was at the time of his take-off from Essex County Airport. There was no contact with FSS. No weather briefings were requested by the accident pilot. A radar target squawking VFR and matching the circumstances of the accident aircraft was observed at 2049:59 on the night of the accident. It made many erratic movements. A TCAS warning in a commercial airliner also correlates with the circumstances of the accident flight. The full narrative is available at http://www.ntsb.gov/NTSB/brief2.asp?...MA178& akey=1 -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Sometimes when flying near untowered airports I will report my position relative to the airfield on the CTAF. If by some chance (rare) I am near the pattern altitude when passing by I think it a good idea to advise inbound & traffic in the pattern. That is my belief as well. I think it's not really possible to provide too much information to other pilots, so unless the frequency is bursting with traffic (highly unlikely), the more information one provides, the better, for both S&R and for other pilots who may be nearby with no other way of knowing that you're in the area. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

What's the _real_ motivation for this? I don't hate you. I don't even know you. I can't kill file all the responses to your posts. If you would just stop arguing with everybody that answers your questions I wouldn't have a problem. If you don't like or believe an answer let those that do know something about the subject respond and trust me they will if it is even a little wrong. The way this and any forum like it should work is person A who doesn't have information asks a question and then persons B, who knows the answer, responds. A can then ask a follow-up question if needed. If person B was wrong then C, D and E will chime in and get to the correct answer. But when you ask a question then turn around and argue with damn near everybody that answers you blow the signal to noise ratio all to hell. And don't get me wrong. You have asked some good questions it is the way your respond that ****es me and many others off. Finally, there is a reason that there are thousands of newsgroups. Each newsgroup is for a particular subject and continually remind us that you have no interest in aviation just in flight sims. |

Mxsmanic, I like to keep safety on my side. Well, you're sitting in a room. That should do it, no reporting necessary. I believe he should report his position to his parents on an hourly basis. |

I'm sure that your toy comm frequenciess aren't "bursting with traffic", but it is not at all unusual for it to be hard to get a word in edgewise in the vicinity of an airport. If it isn't critical, I keep off the air. Neil |
