Re: Nice day for a high altitude flight 700+ feet up
No I wouldn't say I am ever "too relaxed" when flying at any sort of altitude. And I remain very alert and mindful to the surrounding environment and how the aircraft is handling. I am also well aware of the airspace and air traffic above where i'm flying before considering flying at any sort of altitude. And your "taking flying lessons" comment is a little off base. Anyway Happy flying.
race3 said:Your statements now sound a bit ignorant. I'm relaxed, as are all the other concerned posters... if anything you are TOO relaxed. I suggest you take some real flying lessons to understand airspace. Additionally, most of the reported fly-a-ways have reported flying away at the altitude of which they were at and continuing in a set direction at that altitude. In those rare situations, turning off the transmitter or switching to ATTI mode had no effect.
Regardless, that's not even my main point. The point is that you act as if it's absolutely no big deal to fly 700 feet in a major city like NYC. 500 feet is where General Aviation airspace typically begins. You should approach the topic more cautiously and respectfully... as those who have expressed their concerns have done so simply for the safety of everyone.
I've made my point... I don't feel I need to respond further.
