Thanks Dublinpilot, well put.
If you meant to say the wires were across the field rather than across the approach to the field you should have said so.
At what point would you say the approach ended? Is not part of the approach over the field or does it stop at the field boundary?
I was not trying to out guess murphy, or change the way poeple fly, or the way I fly, or suggest that the accepted way is wrong, I just asked a question of people who until today I had a great deal of respect for.
[on a pedantic note, yorks, be careful not to alienate yourself amongst well respected and knowledgeable people on this forum]
Not sure who you are refering to but I dont give a fig if I am alienated from people who are simply rude and offensive, or those who are supersillious and dismisive simply because I had a question to ask.
