A Bit of a Setback

[speedbird591]

I thought I was doing quite well with my 757 training and was confident enough to try some circuits at Heathrow.

But I think Chief Pilot McLeland will be asking to see me in his office Something about not following procedures ...

right ,
now I see I read Ian's post to quickly and missed he mention the McLeland of McLeland Field ..... now I am in trouble
I take it all back I do ...


BTW
there is a IAn that flys at this field from Britain .. yeah no kiddin he's from London area if i got my instruction right from Techy
(it's all in the vowels) and a mate of his name??? with a cockney accent ... (he was impressed that I knew that )

anyway Back on topic

[speedbird591]

Exactly Joe. If that happened.. I'd lay the blame fully at your controllers door

That's the thing, you see. I was so pleased that I'd locked on to the ILS without reading the manual, that I forgot all about controllers and traffic until I took a peep from outside and saw armageddon bearing down on me I don't think I'd have the nerve for this hobby if I didn't have a P key!

I would have thought a simple radio call along the lines of 'sail before steam' or indeed 'Fore!' would overcome any unpleasantness
