As I was on 1/4 to 1/2 mile final, the Citation suddenly took the runway and started the takeoff roll; I remember my first landing at a controlled airport with heavy iron. (Got my primary training at a small grass strip.) I was told by the tower to continue my approach. The runway was empty. But the very moment I turned base to final, which is about 1/2 mile from the threshold at that airport (Zürich), I saw to my surprize a 737 rolling onto the runway and lining up, obviously cleared by the tower to do so. When I was about 1/4 mile out, I got uneasy and called the tower, asking what to do. "Continue approach, the airliner will depart." And so it did. Plenty of room, a non event. Stefan |
