Default High speed passes & FAA



Gentlefolk,

Since when wuz 120-155 mph fast
at an airport?

Not for a long long time, and it wasnt against any
airport speedin rule was it?

In fack, it aint fast at all.

Ok, agreed. 120-150mph is not fast, at an airport
for airplanes, or is it fast for gliders?

If so, so what? Ain't broke no gliderplane speed limit.
Aint none there.

Approaching an airport at a speed of 120-150mph mol
in a heavier than air craft,
and pulling up and going around or turnin back for
landing downwind or into wind depending on which direction
approach was made is known in
FAA parlance
as 'Missed Approach.' Thas whutcha do at airports.


You dont do that low over yo neighbors subdivision.


If folks iz out on airfield standin' round or parkin'
or sittin' on non-aviatin' quipments
or motorinhomes
or campin' tents
or trailers
and etseteruh,


remember where they is ....

Shonuff, it's an airport designed and put there shonuff
for aviatin' uses

and specially takin off and landin
and missin approaches
and comin by fast
or comin by slow,
an' landin' this way
and that way,
and all that.

They be aviatin' ,
and sorry to break trains of thought
at the bridge party
at the motorinhome.

Well, now.
We shall not take aim at a motorhome
wherever it may be with sojourners.
Shonuff, No.

But have some good aviatin'
and have fun.

Summary: 150mph is not fast at an airport. Not landin
at first approach is Missed Approach. Do 'em at airports.


Dancin on clouds
Keep it up!

Exactly. If there is a tower, request a missed approach (for practice
is implied) followed by a circuit and full stop landing. The power guys
do these (and touch-and-goes) all the time, purely for practice and fun.

If there isn't a tower, *tell* the other traffic what you're doing in
the same terms.


Here in Wellington, I've several times been in a helicopter that did a
missed approach (all the way down the 6000 ft runway at 10 ft and 120
knots) purely because that saved several miles going around the airport
to get from Cook Strait to the harbour. Hell, as I recall the tower
*suggested* that on at least one of those occasions.
