Probably more than you think, under the same sorts of instances, with more accidents, given how hard wires and cables are to see, but as of yet TC has not made the CAR that outright prohibits being under anything. Crop dusting is probably a pretty good example - I grew up in rural Manitoba, I've se...

424... I thought I recognized you, Spock! Tower to enterprise... :smt040 Edit: I think I screwed that up, their call sign first, then message, then mine: Catch their attention so they know it's directed to them Message My call sign so they know who was sending them the message.

Annoyed? No, I'm not annoyed. Perhaps I misinterpreted the following: you and many others missed the fact After I tried to clearly state that I have no knowledge.

Usually, I just listen to the funny / silly ones, but it never ceases to amaze me to hear the self-control of tower control and pilots in tense situations. Love knowing how serious everyone is - especially knowing that I could be in the ...

BTW, If my diagram is wrong in some way, I'd love the constructive feedback.
Just a fan of planes, big kid so to say.
