ATC Handling of Low-Fuel American Flight
"Jim Macklin" wrote in message ... The point is that declaring an emergency does not require ATC to do the impossible or grant every deviation. 91.3 does allow the pilot to deviate without a clearance if necessary. ATC wasn't asked to do the impossible. |

Aw, come on now. Just look at all the thoughtful people involved. You have an ATP who is willing to fly around the airport to make things easier on the controller even though he may be about to run out of fuel with 100 plus passenger on board. You have approach calling the tower to inform them the pilot would like 17, but doesn't want to worry them with the though of a low fuel "situation" and a tower controller who guides the "troubled" plane around the airport to keep them out of the way of regular traffic. However: You would think the ATP would at least have a bit of self preservation in mind. One of our local pilots in a 172 was coming back from down south on an IFR flight plan when the engine swallowed a slug of ice. She was shaking badly and didn't appear to be getting better., He declared an emergency and ATC told every one else "shoo". Airliners and all cleared out to make way for him. He landed without incident and made it to the FBO. After setting for a while it ran fine. The verdict was carb ice and all concerned told him he did the right thing. The tower guys told him "good job", kinda like when you put it where they want at Oshkosh:-)) As others have said, you, not the tower chief or any one else owns that airport after having said those magic words declaring an emergency. If it's me "up there" and something goes wrong, I'm not too proud to holler for help. We'll sort out the paper work later if there is any. In the case of the 172 above, he didn't have to fill out anything. Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |

That may be true, but it isn't what this group decides now,
or even what the FAA decides tomorrow, but what did the controller think he could do. If he needs more training, so bet it, but I won't condemn either the controller or the pilot based solely on a TV edited report. "Steven P.

Actually, this is quite fuzzy. The antecedent clause really muddies up the waters. It =could= have been written "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." That would be clear. But it wasn't. Jose -- Humans are pack animals. Above all things, they have a deep need to follow something, be it a leader, a creed, or a mob.

You should read the versions prior to the final. It is very
clear, although there is a tendency to add two commas that were not part of the original as voted on in the Senate in 1789. That really muddies up the water. Of course the people,who wrote it remembered that the Revolution started with British attempts to confiscate arms at Concord and Lexington and the Bill of Rights read in conjunction with the Declaration of Independence, and considering Patrick Henry's speeches on the subject during the Virginia ratification debates, it makes perfect sense. Under Ashcraft, the DOJ even got it right in the report http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.htm "Jose" wrote in message t... | "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of | a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms | shall not be infringed." | | That is as clear as can be, yet several thousand laws are | passed and people continue to argue about what it means. | | Actually, this is quite fuzzy.

Plus, you have to wade through all the background material in an attempt to determine "legislative intent." It will forever be challenged by the meaning of militia. Not so with the 91.113 clause previously cited in this thread. |
