I can't say for sure, but I suspect it's only possible when one of the flights is VFR. IFR or VFR is not relavant. Size is ! turbulence effect should be kepp in mind :-) Right. I took off from Oshkosh once in a Taylorcraft. There was a Tailwind next to me who took off first. I broke ground just before the point where he broke ground. When I flew into his wake I got rolled about fortyfive degrees at less than 10 feet AGL. It INSTANTLY got my full attention! :-) Highflyer Highflight Aviation Services Pinckneyville Airport ( PJY ) |

I was in sequence number two at the runway waiting for departure. As the tower controller cleared the Cessna in front of me to position and hold, he asked him his direction of flight. The Cessna pilot responded "Northbound". The controller then instructed the Cessna to position 50 feet north on Rwy 34, and then he cleared me to position and hold behind the Cessna. The Cessna was VFR. I questioned the clearance, reminding him that there was an airplane on the runway in front of me. He told me to position and hold behind the traffic. As I taxiied into position, he cleared the Cessna for takeoff and as soon as the Cessna broke ground he cleared me for takeoff. I was using a DP which includes a turn to the left. The Cessna was instructed to turn out to the right. I've been flying out of HPN since 1992 and I have never seen or heard of anything like this being done there before, ever. Did I miss something?? Never been to OSH eh? You get lined up six at a time. Last time I took off on 18 at OSH (left side of centerline), I not only passed the guy ahead of me, but I caught the next one just beyond the end of the runway, made my left turn at 3000 and headed for home. Landing? Absolutely no place for a pilot who always flys a stabilized pattern. I counted 25 between down wind, base and final. Of course base and final are *short*. :-)) The 25 were all north of the control tower to the water tower, down wind, base, and final. That was the day the "Blue Bonanza" flew a regular pattern instead of strictly adhering to the tower's instructions. Blue Bonanza, put your gear down now... Blue Bonanza put your gear down.... Blue Bonanza, turn base now.... Blue Bonanza turn base NOW!... Blue...Bonanza...Turn...BASE... NOW... Awhhhhh...Don't go clearrrr to the lake. (I wish I had that one on tape) He did, down wind to the lake, base and then final all the way from the lake with IFR traffic coming in on the VOR 27.

They line you up on left and right sides of the runway, and alternate departing left, then right. This was on 18; I don't what they do with the IFR departures on 9/27. That's my recollection, too. I don't remember ever seeing 6 at a time except for the airshow performers. |

The pilot flying handled it and got it down. I think that was the most fear I've ever felt in a GA airplane. |
