Via The Baron:
...having operated an RPT jet into places with no tower for years, I well know the feeling when you are trying to separate from light aircraft that can't/won't talk or use a transponder. I want everybody to see me, all it takes is one...
"All it takes is one..." One terrorist 'air-mine' bomb drone hovering in wait above the airfield - and they don't have transponders. Now, there are even more reasons for pilots to look out the front window.
Sometimes i get the impression that it is all to much hard work for
some of them RPT drivers to look out the front window. Much easier to keep eyes in on the dails even on a severe clear day. Considering there's two of them per aircraft yer gotta wonder..
