From what I have assumed; At a towered airport, the controllers are watching out for you, Probably not meant that way, but that's a potentially dangerous thought. At towered airports, ATC is controlling the sequencing of traffic to avoid airplane having unfriendly meetings on the runway. But they are not "watching out for you." You are PIC. =You= are watching out for you. There has been more than one accident and many near ones caused by a pilot thinking that vigilance was not necessary because of those extra eyes. That was brought home to me one day when tower tried to turn me into the path on an incoming CitationJet. Mark Kolber APA/Denver, Colorado www.midlifeflight.com ====================== email?
