IFR/Flight Following -- ATC Preferences?
"Judah" wrote in message . .. A plane being out of control implies a problem with the plane. A pilot flying incorrectly implies a problem with the pilot. I believe the JFK Jr. case is a case of the latter, not the former. You are mistaken. You are mistaken |

IFR/Flight Following -- ATC Preferences?
"Roger" wrote in message ... He had nearly 100 hours hood time. What is your source for that? The NTSB report says, "Within 100 days before the accident, the pilot had completed about 50 percent of a formal instrument training course." I see nothing about his total instrument time. Had he been IFR it would have set off the alarms with the first 100 foot deviation. There is no alarm for an altitude deviation and being off an assigned altitude by just 100 feet isn't considered a deviation. |

IFR/Flight Following -- ATC Preferences?
That's not accurate. If the car is not travelling in the direction is
pointing it it is out of control. That's not accurate. A car driven by a skillful race driver can skid quite a bit while remaining totally in control. "In control", in the sense that most people with whom I have acquaintance, means that the driver has a good sense of what the vehicle is capable of and the vehicle is doing what the driver wants it to do. "Out of control" means that the driver is unable, perhaps by virtue of his lack of skill, to make the vehicle do this. An aerobatics pilot has the plane completely under his (or her) control doing the same maneuvers that a student pilot would be totally out of control with. But it doesn't really matter what words you want to apply to the situation. Jose -- Money: what you need when you run out of brains. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
