Simple: If you can see it, it is time to land. If it is close, put your plane on the ground immediately.
The purpose isn't to split hairs like a bunch of lawyers. The priority is to protect life.
guess the guys at MileSquarePark ama club will never be allowed off the ground then
I cant wait to hear how close it has to be before you should dump your model
... any plane within 1 mile and you have to crash your model just to be safe?
..
I would consider "a FSs first pass over the runway" would explain it to anyone, considering humans were in the FS!!!
Really?
I thought the fact that
the FS pilot was in radio coms with the folks STANDING ON the runway would be a better form of communication than illegally buzzing them the first pass,
then intentionally forcing a landing on a runway known to have live people STANDING ON it
.... and for safety he was forcing that landing full throttle with smoke on
Is that what we are supposed to believe?
The FS was just intending to land on & run over the people he sees standing on the runway?
Or was there actually no intent to land ON those people, it was just a low pass from the start without ever intending to kill/land-on the people he knows are on the runway
