Almost saw someone crash

Adrenalin suppresses some fear reactions, but it comes with its own
side-effects.

So that's what happens to me whenever I am late for dinner coming from the
airport!

nice work.)

Thank you Vlad. Des did a great job of getting and keeping all of us
together to do it. The total book a very well done effort and with any
luck at all, it might even save some lives. I was honored to be asked to
join the effort.

I would hope that the local FSDO would hear about her. I don't care
much if she kills herself through stupidity, but what about innocents
on the ground?

It was a very frustrating situation- she had nearly killed herself,
apparently knew why it had happened, and seemed to think this was a normal
activity of flying (let alone damaging her 1997 Bonanza A-36)

I'd be interested in hearing how the group would have reacted to this
situation.

Protecting everyone from themselves is an impossible job.

Because I fly, I envy no one.

After losing two good friends in a crash in 1989, I vowed never agin to
remain quiet when I see something in the way a person flies that
bothers me.

Pilots do not like to be told that what they are doing/about to do is
stupid, and they tend to get upset with me, but I sleep better having
spoken my peace.

Sometimes you get through to people and they cease the behavior.
Sometimes they need the reassurance to remove any doubts they have.
Some are just too strong minded to listen.

I'd have to agree w/ Eric and (hopefully) have the guts to confront the
person. Maybe they'd listen, maybe the wouldn't...but I'd feel better
knowing that I'd brought the person a different perspective (other than
their own) to the situation.

I agree in trying to speak ones mind abouot this.

Sure, someone will get upset, but at least, I would see it as my
responsibility towards innocent peopl on the ground, and in the air to warn
people like this.

However, it's important that we remember that we all have our own personal
minimums. This obviously does not comply in this cas with the thunderstorms
and extremely low cloud base, but I have seem instances where peopl would
advice 800+ hour pilots to not fly with a bit of wind, and cloud ceiling
around 1400 feet....some peopl only fly in blue skies, some have lower
minimums.

One should never fly VFR and have to get somewere on time though! You never
know if you have to divert, and if it's a serious appointment you are trying
to make, chances are you would push on further than you should if the
weather detoriates.

Exactly. There's a guy in the MSP area who got a vacation from flying
because I turned his sorry ass in to the local FSDO in the Twin Cities. He
was flying over a lake at about 100 feet AGL over the top of boats and
peoples houses on the lake. 5 times.

If you would not cut in my post to the point that it changes the ,meaning of
what I wrote, other people that don't read the whole thread won't get the
impression that I'm an ignorant ***...

:-)

This is excactly what I wrote, but off course deleting the rest of my
sentence instead of leaving iot there makes me look like an idiot.

Thanks,

Frode
