PPRUNE POP, Sorry , I don't quite catch what you're saying (damn another blond moment!)my bad
I'll unwind sorry. But you have to agree tarnished gives some strange answers. I just think it blocks up the forum with irrelevant info.
My stance is that it is perfectly A OK to block the window even when flying VFR but under certain conditions.
In certain airspaces where it is the responsability of the pilots to report their positions and keep a look out for others it can be dangerous. This is especially because a lot of GA pilots don't use the radio properly and take advantage of these airspaces (class D I think) some may be flying from illegal airstrips and don't talk at all !!
However whilst in a controlled enviroment ie in a circuit controlled by ATC or while flying in airspace where you are monitored by radar and informed of other traffic it is perfectly fine. There is no apparent risk because if you were IFR you would have to trust that information anyway (and do trust it) so why not trust it in VFR ?
Anyway back to the unwinding....... you obviously see I have a stress problem so please feel free to contribute to my beer fund
