That is far and away the better procedure. I have had a few situations like that and I will never let it get to a safety alert status. The IFR guy will get vectored. It also saves time. |

"Chip Jones" wrote in message ... The other day, I had an air traffic situation I wanted to bounce off of the group. Those of you who don't know me, I'm a Center controller down here in --- snip I feel very strongly that ATC has an obligation to track these rogue idiots. Controllers may be a passenger/pilots someday too. You dont have to prove anything, just get them on the phone and advise them that they may wish to review the rule book before playing in your backyard. It should get their attention. Unless they are really stupid, they will likely stop the behavior after realizing big brother was watching their stunt. SK |

Thus the computers at the FAA are generations behind what is on your desktop And I'm glad of it. If ATC computers crashed as much as my desktop did, there would be no ATC. And I know ATC computers crash tool Jose (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |

news I feel very strongly that ATC has an obligation to track these rogue idiots. To what purpose? There is no way to prove the flight conditions were IMC. Just because one pilot reported being in IMC, especially when everyone else was VMC, does not prove the pilot in question violated anything. -- Regards, Stan |

(pilots vs. controllers- what a softball game that would be!) Man on 3rd base....You are not authorized to cross Home plate. Repeat...hold short of Home plate! Person holding short of 1st base, you may now taxi back to the dugout - you're out. Ahh, a double play in the making, on a ball hit over the centerfielder's head. -- Montblack |

"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote: We don't know that this guy was a rogue idiot, there's no evidence that any rule was violated. Sure. So the conversation should go something like "Sir, we tracked you through our airspace at 6,000'. You might want to have your encoder checked." George Patterson Brute force has an elegance all its own. |

"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message k.net... Heck, you don't even know if his Mode C was correct. Yes, as I stated in an earlier message. I was just remaking your point. "Piling on" so to speak. Sometimes you are just too darned succinct. |
