Final Approach
I was just curious so I thought I'd ask. What happens when a poster on this board has completed their "final approach"? Presumably a landing follows, but what then?

10000 Touchdown! Greaser!
So test pilot is? (guessing here.... POA staff?)
Yeah, but after that? Do you get to take off again, or do you lose your medical and can't post anymore or what? Can you tell I'm bored today?
Off to the bar for a drink after that.
Yeah, I haven't had a "position and hold" in, what, a week!It could just be a blonde moment, but I thought the FAA outruled "Position and hold?" So can we just jump to the next one? hehe

Frank:
I think George Carlin would say after "final approach" and landing, one would taxi to the "terminal area" <g>
Best,

No, we didn't. I made the comment that if we were to get one that we should refuse, since it was at night, and I didn't want to be sitting on the runway (it was even an intersection, 'E', IIRC) at night.I think Grant and I got one at KRFD when we were departing last Thursday after the PoA get together. Grant do you remember?
Actually, the Kiwis call it "Line up and wait". No fooling! And I think that the FAA implemented new rules that they can't assign assign it unless there are two people in the tower or something like that. I don't think it's been entirely banished.It could just be a blonde moment, but I thought the FAA outruled "Position and hold?" So can we just jump to the next one? hehe

Yea yea I know, I looked it up a little and all they did was change the wording around. Maybe thats what I heard. My mistake! As you can tell, I haven't gotten a hold short in a LONG time, kinda happens at an airport in the middle of nowhere. ....could I still be bumped up? LOL j/k I'm not quite as obsessed as SOME of you
I heard it last year during an FAA Safety Seminar at Lewis University (Romeoville) by a controller from either Aurora or DuPage. I took notes on it, but theyre in my Palm, which hasn't worked in a while. So I cannot verify my memory. Sorry.If it has, someone forgot to tell the tower folks at my home drome. They still use it plenty.
I think it's the land and hold short that they did away with, not the possition and hold. I usually get possition & hold when an AC is landing before I take off, once it's past my possition I get possition & hold, till they clear the runway.
Missa
Edit: after reading more, I really don't think Williamsport EVER has two people in the tower except durring a shift change. One person in that tower has to be fairly board, the only reason I could see for having two is so they can play cards.

It would seem appropriate to me that it would be:
10000 - Bounce.....
15000 - Bounce.....
20000 - Bounce.....
etc.
Then there's the issue of going missed a few times and you run short on fuel to get to your alternate. Is "Terminal" then the the ultimatum?Or they could go missed? and that would open up a whole bunch more posting verbiage to go with the post counts?
Ken's theory is Scott will never land. Scott will invent, manufacture and install on his airplane the equipment to develop perpetual power; all while remaining aloft. Ken believes this is possible because Ken saw in another of Scott's posts that he believes he's the big dog.Or, the software developers failed to consider that so many would be so devoid of an actual life, and would post as much as they do. Maybe a sort of doomsday, Y2K, phenomenon will cause the server to explode upon the first post (probably by Scott ) after landing.
