Icarus
I don't know. Perhaps you could tell us???
From my perspective there are a number of options...
1. Join overhead at 1500 and radio intentions so everyone could extend downwind. (cost at least $20 in fuel, better to kill 5 people)
2. Stay away at that one time every two years. (gee, can't do that, better to kill 5 people)
3. Wait and get permission to land once the airport was closed for the airshow (gee a 1 hour delay, better to kill 5 people).
4. Slow down and join downwind (another $20, better to kill 5 people).
5. Do a straight in and nearly kill 5 people.
6. Cop a CAIR report, or better still a complaint to CASA, lose AOC and never get to kill anyone again.
Bear in mind that incident, A/C, time etc is still in my log, so if it was you don't **** me off!!!!! There is no statute on complaints to CASA.
