You're an idiot. they want freedom to dictate to others, who don't share their views, what they'll do with their bodies, their relationships and their lives. People like you should be killed. Somehow I _don't_ find it reassuring that a**holes exist on both sides of the political spectrum. Rich Lemert |

Please point out those parts of "Origin of Species" that are false. Chances are you'll either find out that scientists have already recognized the error, or that you have mis-understood the material. If you really have found an unrecognized error, science will thank you for allowing it to improve our understanding of the world. If you are in error, you'll thank us for helping you become a better-informed citizen. Rich Lemert |

"Judah" wrote in message ... Put it in perspective. At MOST, the 100-hour per year pilot uses 100 hours of ATC time per year. The Airline pilot, who flies back and forth across the country twice a day, uses 100 hours of ATC time in about a week. Considering an airline pilot flies 80 hours a month, this is a pretty neat trick. |

Please point out those parts of "Origin of Species" that are false. Chances are you'll either find out that scientists have already recognized the error, Yes, nearly all of science knows Darwin's "Origin of species" is completely false. That is why I provided you with two other brances of science: Physics demonstrating a theory with repeatable and demonstrable resilts applied to Cosmology, Geology falses Darwin's "Origin of Species" with hard physical evidence and then from within the church of Darwin itself, Jay Gould replaces Darwin's work with a thirteen hundred page treatise trying to reconcile the obvious undisputable falshoods within Darwin's "Origin of species". All of the scientific community knows what is being taught in school is a lie. Stop teaching Darwin's religion as science in public schools. |

Doug Carter wrote: wrote: The last I recall, in the now-five-year-old program for 500 GPS approaches a year, some 70-80% of those were established (and are being established) for airports that have no commercial operations except perhaps for a very infrequent Part 135 arrival. It does not follow that an airport without Part 121 and infrequent Part 135 operations has no economic value. No doubt about it, and I did not imply that. Nonetheless, a 3,000' runway at Podunk, Iowa, with two GPS approaches, represents a signifgicant federal subsidy to the users of that airport. Those users who use it in conjunction with their business or perhaps for an Angel flight, etc, indeed contriubute to the economy. The guy who uses it to fly for $100 hamburgers (or, are they $200 hamburgers these days?) is getting subsidized without his flight contributing very much to the economy. I'm not suggesting it's right or wrong. I certainly have used the system like that a lot over the years. |

Bob Noel wrote: Also, you might be interested most of the GPS approaches were overlays (meaning all the obstruction clearance work was already done). Very few GPS approaches were defined for airports that didn't previously have any approach, and nothing close to that 70-80% you claim. -- Bob Noel Baloney. At this stage of the program many, many airports that did not previously have an IAP now have at least one RNAV (GPS) IAP. And, there are many more that had perhaps one ground-based IAP and now have at least one additional RNAV (GPS) IAP. As to the BOS, LAX, JFKs, etc, how many IAPs do those airports represent? Last time I checked there were over 10,000 IAPs in the U.S. No doubt those major Part 139 airports take a huge amount of resources; then again the airline passenger pays through the nose to support those facilities. |
