Cheers,
In one daily release of the EAA newspaper at Oshkosh a photogragh shows
two traffic controllers overseeing the close-in final approach of a Cessna.
The caption reads, "high-wing, rock your wings......" - and there it shows
the aircraft with some bank on. in response. The caption then goes out to
point out the technical aspects of supervising traffic in the busiest
circuit that day.
All very fine, since choked traffic needs close control.
However, if that low-time aviator has some rudder on (for whatever
reason), and he banks the wrong way at a critical moment in enthusiasm, we
have the makings of a drastic result.
That's what one net correspondent last week meant by controlling the
aircraft first and communicating after. It's always wise to know you control
the aircraft, ATC control the traffic.
As one wag said, "I'll close now. I hear Matron in the hall."
