Hats off to Jabiru 5229
Don't know who he is [we've never met...except on r/t], but he and his students at YKRY are to be commended for their awareness,sensible position reporting and courteous sharing of the CTAF.
This old f**t arrives in imc often enough that a conflict could arise ,but never has whether on an RNAV, NDB app, GPS arrival, because he obviously drills into his students sensible basic use of radio, and his students know where they are in the circuit.
Those Jabs are bloody hard to see from 1-2nm behind on final though ! And the C210,FTDK[ "the one and only!"] or M20J , which have all interacted with him,are all a bit quicker.
Can't say the same for the gliding instructor who met me head on in the B55 "demonstrating a non-standard right hand circuit to his student " with the radio turned down.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Solid overcast,8.30am,and I'd made two inbound calls while in imc and a circuit call.
