Near mid-air
In the Orange County Soaring Association newsletter Zero Sink First
Quarter 2010 there is a good article on a near mid-air. A couple of things jumped out at me as I was reading the Article. 1. The towplane involved in the near mid-air did not have a radio! 2. The tow path apparently was in the immediate area where 45 degree entry to the IP commences. Both of these situations appear to me to be to be "pre-existing conflicts" in situ. Any opinions? Bob |

Near mid-air
In the year 2010 there is no justification for operating a tow plane
or glider without a radio. The recent RAS discussions on radios in gliders debated the issue. Radios are a major safety device in and around the airport environment. Bob (another Robert) |
