Dick, You said:
"My post was praising the Williamtown controllers for sensibly allowing me to overfly the airfield rather than having me orbit and waste even more fuel over a rough ocean at a very low 500 foot level."
My sick mind at work again here, but just wondering:
- Is it safer to fly over a smooth ocean than a rough ocean
- Is the reliability of the turbine engine in direct proportion to the roughness of the ocean below it? ... just like a piston engine is affected by flying over Tiger Country
- Or, perhaps the safety of the flight is determined by the number of "white pointers" below you ... as in your flight at 500ft over Bondi Beach
Sorry, couldn't help myself.... I'm off to see my therapist
