DCA "Don't give up the ship"
I just thought everyone might find this interesting.
This happened to me this past saturday at a local airport. This airport has no tower and uses a unicom Fequnecey and this day was a bit on the busy side.
it all started when i was turning off base onto about a three mile final, just as I am turning onto about a three mile final i see anoother aircraft pull onto the runway,even though he never anounced that he was takeing the active.
i imidately ancounted a go around and moved into tyhe right up wind to avoid his take off. Then my instructor said just aounce you are going cross wint and cross over the end of the runway. at this point we had already climbed to pattern altiude.
Right after i aounced I was tunrning downwind I hear a garbeled transmition. I looked around and did not see anyonther aircraft, so i figured everything was ok. Then i heared this:
Skipper 46N you have cut me off
at this point my instructor and I look at each other and then look around again, nither of us see any aircraft:
skipper 46N who just said we cut you off?
skipper 46N this is tomahawk 37C you entered the pattern wrongly.
Tomahawk 37C this is skipper 46N negitive we announced cross and down wind we, and we were at pattern altiude, we did not hear or see you.
Skipper 46n negitive I can not fly this airport at pattern altiude and land.
Tomahawk 37C negitve pattern altuide for this airport is 1400 you need to fly at 1400.
:
At this point I look at my intrusctor and say where is this guy i dont see him. my instuctor looks at me and says "I think he is under us" almost on que i see a piper tomahawk breaking in a left turn not but 150 feet undeneath me!!!:
Ficher Traffic tomahwak 37C turniong base,skipper 46N i can not fly this airport at pattern altitude and land, i have to fly it at my altiude!
tomahawk 37C this is skipper 46N Negitive this airport pattern altiude is 1400
(Airport unicom)Hey why dont you guys land and fight this out?
THen i kind of muttered to my self "dont temp me" my instuctor just kind of looked at me with a half smile
The tomahawk departed the pattern right after that.
