Time for me to wade in here a bit....
"To be quite frank, if I am flying into one of these airports I would be far, far, far more concerned I would be killed or injured in a mid-air collision than the possibility of someone trying to slice me up with a knife or whatever," Vincent said.
Hmmmm me too Peter
It's a
REAL problem at Ardmore as well... and I don't know what the solution is... See I don't want a tower (been to Hamilton lately
) however I get really scared in the CCT sometimes... particularly ..low vis, lots of aircraft with students, aircraft joining rightbase 03 out of the gloop with 5+ already in the CCT.
My solution... maybe have a max number in the circuit or... only overhead rejoins when more than 4 in the cct... what about some way of knowing that there are students in the aircraft so the more experienced guys can look out for them.. something like ABC Student joining....
UNICOM is fine, however, they get to say sorry... I'm still dead
