In a word, Yes.
Not very long ago I witnessed a near miss. I filed a complaint with the FAA annonymously via the internet. They called the airport to see who was flying at the time. Well, since it happened a hour after the admin building closed... The FAA tends to get lazy at times. Meanwhile, had the two aircraft collided, I would have possibly been immolated in my car. There was a plane in the process of departing and I thought he was trying to be cute the way he began a turn as soon as he rotated (get some Navy types now and then). Then I noticed another a/c making a hard right turn, right over me who had been on final. Had they collided, I was close enough, on the high-way that runs past the end of the runway, to have been part of the ensuing gas shower and fire. I have had similar things happen with biz jets as you have just mentioned. They get so busy with all their stuff that they forget there are others getting clearances as well. Seems that because of a biz jet that was in a hurry, I wound up with having to do an intersection departure to keep approach happy (we were at a non-towered field with an RCO). Why? because the biz jet cut me off as I was taxiing to the runway! So yes, I would at least file an ASRA about it. Later, Steve.T PP ASEL/Instrument |
