Shy Torque:
"On approaching Kemble, sensing that PF#1 was about to demonstrate his notoriously steep approach to runway 31, the senior passenger made an executive decision."
Very funny. But I don't think ten to twelve degrees is "notoriously" steep, especially for a guy (TOT) who claimed to have as much experience as he did. You'd think he would've known better, given the well-publicized noise-sensitive nature of Kemble. But what can you do...
Maybe if helicopter pilots made steeper approaches they'd be looking more downward and not outward and wouldn't hit wires with their Gazelles? Just a thought.
