Have you finished your homework yet.It's bedtime soon-school in the morning !


Gonzo.

Tricky choice to make.
I think NotSo does have a very valid point.
On too many occassions do we see huge numbers of blues and twos turn out for something very minor.
Perhaps there needs to be a better method of determining the seriousness involved with any non-standard landing.

We pilots could improve our RT to help matters though.Only last week I heard some small turboprop saying "I am declaring an emergency"-and that was it.I was waiting for him to do just that,but no Mayday or Pan call was forthcoming.Sloppy RT does not help the busy ATCO.
