Airspace Violations

christopher behm <cbb...@sbcglobal.net>: Aug 10 01:28AM Maybe as suggested, the solution is to create a "penalty buffer zone" that extends beyond the airspace itself. Something like like -25 points for being in a band 2nm to 1nm from the actual airspace, ...more

Tom Seim <toms...@gmail.com>: Aug 09 08:53PM -0700 What is missing from Youngblood's letter is a single example of an airspace violation, only that it occurred. Did a pilot blatantly fly through the middle of the airspace, or did they dip a wing ...more

Charles Mampe <charli...@gmail.com>: Aug 09 09:05PM -0700 Airspace incursions I know of are typically just getting into it, not flying straight through it. Whether it was just getting into the side or trying to fly over and clipping the top after almost ...more

SS <01sky...@gmail.com>: Aug 09 09:28PM -0700 I miss the Poorist as much as I miss the Mayor (of Saskatoon), Daryl Kabatoff. Occasionally they both had interesting takes on gliding, if you cared to wade through their respective mountain of ...more

Roderick Read <faby...@gmail.com>: Aug 10 03:28PM -0500 My 2 cents are that everyone knows when near controlled airspace, and how to avoid going into that airspace.   When I last flew competitions in Switzerland, Germany, and France, competition directors ...more

Charles Mampe <charli...@gmail.com>: Aug 10 01:47PM -0700 OK, I will add to this because it addresses my comment, multiple airspace databases (AKA, DB's) for a site.   Some may be different DB's due to logger/display types. Some may add TFR's (my site ...more

Cliff Hilty <cliff...@gmail.com>: Aug 10 02:36PM -0700 Hmmm, Ive held off replying until I see some of the issues people are worried about.   1st IMHO, Airspace violations are the pilot in commands responsibility. He/She is solely responsible and will ...more

Wind turbine peeps are figuring something out.....

Charles Mampe <charli...@gmail.com>: Aug 09 08:01PM -0700 Interesting article, the referenced info has been around, but getting attention now.   https://www.ecoportal.net/en/insect-remains-coat-percent-wind-turbine/31596/   I wonder if bug wipers would ...more
