Bertie,

Ever been to Germany? Nobody jaywalks. It's eerie


BS. Plain and simple. You got a Germany simulator from MX?

Nope, but I'll be there in a few hours and take a video of it if you
like.

Well, he could have circled easily onto 33 from the first ILS with a
ceiling like that. Might be what he did the second time. But if the wind
was over limits on the surface, there's no way he would have continued for
23 in the first place. Ever been to Germany? Nobody jaywalks. It's eerie

"jaywalks" ... now there's a term I haven't heard in a number of years! *
We were just talking about some older terminology that comes out of our
mouths that has our adult kids looking at us as if we're aliens.

Really? They'll slam you up for it in Germany. and u-turns ( Don't ask
me how i know this, It'd take me a week to tel it)

Orval,

Where in hell was ATC's head when they directed the plane to a runway
with that severe a crosswind in the first place?

The options are 23 and 33 (this is my home drome). With the wind between
280 and 290, you figure out the difference in crosswind component. It's
not that much. But 23 has a CAT IIIb (I think) ILS, while 33 is
localizer only.

Also, why did the pilot accept that runway?

See above.

Is it the German acceptance of authority?

No.


Probably just the lack of a sense of humor.

Phil,

I'm not sure what the runway
heading was,

23.

If there hadn't been video...


It wouldn't have happened?

Chapter one. "Bertie arrives in Germany for the first time ever.. ...."

And sidles up onto a stool in a two tap, ten stool bar in the train
station. It's a beautiful sunny early summer's day and it's the first
oportunity he has to try a real German beer from a real German tap in
Germany. I can't remember what type beer it was but it was just
beeeeuuutiful. I drank it at leisure and asked the barkeep for another
( auf Deutch) "NEIN" came the reply. Well, I'm a bit taken back I have
to tel you. It's about three in the afternoon, I wasn't drunk and there
were several other patrons sitting leisurely drinking their beer. A bit
confused., I asked again in my best school german for another. THe
crewcutted bartender, as close a double for Gert Frobe ( goldfinger) as
you're going to find shouts back again, "NEIN". he's obviously getting a
bit perturbed, so i try a third time. He's getting purple now and still
refusing to give me "Ein anderes beir" . Well this went on for a few
more minutes and eventually I discover I'm asking for another
~different~ beer and they only have one brand on draft.... You think he
could have figured it out....


Stay tuned for the next chapter, "Bertie is nearly put on a chain gang
in Wurms"..

A very minor point, Andy. I hope you mean your breath is bated -- I
don't know what the consequences might be if it's intended to be bait
for Bertie.

I'm taking some literary licence here with the timeline, of course.
