AnonymousA667 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 The guy in the white plane must feel like a right chump!... Actually it will be the guy in the other aircraft who will be sporting the red face. Even if you get the nod from the tower to proceed to the threshold you're supposed to check that nobody is on finals for yourself before making a move. Usual rule of the road is that anybody flying an approach gets priority. peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Nearly happened at Ipswich once, two a/c on finals, one above the other, neither realised another a/c was there. Fortunately the Tower spotted the situation, and avoided a nasty incident. Lucky because the tower had a solid rear wall, and the approach to 26 was from behind the tower, and partly obscured by nearby buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanflyer Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Notice that the top aircraft has a low wing and the bottom aircraft has a high wing? Both in each other's blind spots, I'd say. Hard to see how this could happen on an airfield where radios are used. I was doing circuits and bumps non radio on an unlicensed airfield once, in a high wing microlight. I was on the downwind leg at 500ft when another pilot in a low wing plane decided to join downwind descending as he went (which is not on) and we both had the shock of our lives when he came down from above my left wing and I emerged from below his right one! Only the Red Arrows fly closer formation. A two plane vixen break ensued, and the other plane had the good sense not to try to land there after that. As my old instructor once said of another flyer "He's a good pilot, but a lousy airman." Wonder who'll cop the blame for these mating planes? Cheers, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All aircraft on final have the right of way.....only a dire emergency can change that and everything in the pattern has to be informed, well that is at a controlled airport.

eng Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Looks like an attempt to re-create one of those old Luftwaffe "Mistel" thingy's with a 109 and a Ju88!!! Love the rocketman clip - how F***in cool is that - have asked the wife for one for Crimbo....... (she said I'm already a space cadet!?!)

Okdoky Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 An RAF pilot landed two Ansons like that in WW2 when they collided mid air. Looks awfully like the mess those two aircraft ended up. I am sure there would be plenty of brown trousers. Do you think they laughed over a beer afterwords? Nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Aero Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Either way the lower high wing type and the upper, low winger, is the classic air to air accident as happened near Castle Donnington only a couple of months ago in a fatal between a Cessna 120 and a light twin. The lower a/c is a rarish Stinson Voyger and a Cherokee on top. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
