"Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:LATue.100867$nG6.96413@attbi_s22... I disagree 'almost' 100% with Larry (and you) on this issue. Cowards?? Goodness gracious! I worked for years at the Brewery with guys named Red, Whitey, Tex, Butch, Swanee, Bud, Slim, etc. That's how I knew them. In these newsgroups, as long as you can match a moniker to a posting history, that's all that really matters, IMHO. There are always exceptions, of course. You, Newps, and Maule Driver all come to mind as good, solid Usenet citizens, even though you choose to remain (somewhat) anonymous. Unfortunately, for every example of good, I can name three anonymous evil-doers (I *love* that word!) -- or, worse, guys who appear to be using their real names, but are actually using a real-LOOKING pen name -- who are really nasty, and contribute little to the conversation. I can think of more than a few evil doers that use their real names. For example, I remember one dude goes by the name of Honeck! :~) -- Matt --------------------- Matthew W.

"The approach controller over yonder in Billings with the slow 182..."? Just do a low pass and intone into the microphone "I've been sent". Jose -- My other car is up my nose. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

Yeah, but no one could make up such a name. It's almost as goofy as "General Grievous"... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I have gotten Flight Following without a transponder, but it was one of
those corner cases. Basically, the transponder was inoperative, but it would have required a very long flight to go around the airspace that required a transponder (a Class C up against a Mode C veil). So, we contacted ATC, advised them of our transponder issue, and asked to transition over the top of the Class C (transponder is required except by prior arrangement... which was the purpose of asking). They RADAR identified us, and followed our primary return. Indeed, they continued the service until they lost RADAR contact quite a peice out from over the Class C. -Rob Guy Elden Jr wrote: Off topic, but related: Can a radar center offer flight following to a plane not equipped with a transponder? I would guess no, but I'm curious. I think that you can have an IFR clearance and at points along the route not be in radar coverage. In those cases you get a much larger zone of protected airspace around you, and you have to radio in your position at compulsory reporting points. As for flight following, I would think the value would be pretty much useless. The whole point is to gain a second pair of eyes for you on the ground with the assumption that you are still responsible for separation from other aircraft. If the folks on the ground can't see you on their scopes, then there's really no point to flight following. -- Guy |
