Default Things I Would Like To See

I would like to see ATC require at least one controller in 5000 to have
a pilots license and a minimal amount of aviating ability or knowledge.
I would also like to see airports start operating based on the
operational needs of pilots and aircraft; not what the new neighbors
want. It would be nice if people would start asking themselves ³does
this make sense?² And last but not least, I would like for flight
schools to start teaching students what a FREAKING wind sock is! Maybe
then, thirty years from now, one of those students will ask themselves
³does this make sense² and they wonıt land on a short snow covered
runway with a tailwind, even if the numbers say itıs possible and
theyıve been cleared to land.


Or listen to an AWOS ond the Unicom frequency, rather than asking which is the
active runway.

I would also like to see the elimination of the "stabilized approach."
The records show no safety advantage gained --and -- it clutters up the
pattern with spam cans making two mile "stabilized" finals.


Hear, hear.
