Default RE: What do you do about


ORIGINAL: BIG4D

Mr67stang. I'm not upset, sorry if I came off that way. I am a new pilot and I guess I was more looking for thought on the ethics of what the way they were flying. True there is nothing wrong with what they were doing. Although, the guy with the FAST trainer was being somwhat wreckless with his super fast downwind low flyby's. That would not have been a problem accept it was against the rotation.
I guess I just thought it was a little inconsiderate to the other pilots to fly the way they were with so many others flying at the same time. I still beleive in my tag-line!
Not at all BIG4D. With just your view point of the situation and not having been there myself I felt it neccisary to bring up the other perspective. Odds are pretty good though that if you and your other club members felt these guys were unsafe then they probably were. If only one person thinks they are unsafe then it could be a difference in flying style not understood by the other. A reletively predictable pattern should be flown when multiple aircraft are in the air. The speed at which that pattern is flow is up to the indevidual pilot but the faster plane is responsible for collision avoidance in most cases.
