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!
