widgeon Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Just randomly looking at cadors for helicopters aug 1 to date . There seem to be an awful lot of incidents at High Level. Is this a really busy area or was there some sort of enforcement blitz recently?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainman Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Might be because it's actually burning there, one of the few places lately??? Not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainman Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Scrap that, I had a look. It would seem there are some picky flight service people violating aircraft for minor Mode C transponder stuff. Also radio procedure stuff, not calling down, or not calling 5 minutes before entering the zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF_was_that Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 hmmm making the "bush" operators follow the rules. See nothing wrong with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotorboy2 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I don't think they're being 'picky'... I think pilots are being forgetful. We've all done it at one point or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnybrook Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 i've only encountered one person in the high level fss who was an ***, but he really made up for the nice ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidz Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I got dinged at CYOJ awhile back. I supposedly didn't call final. I dunno how the lady in the tower would've known seeing as just before I called final, she called "High level will be unattended for the next five minutes"... Here's another question: Is there another station in this country where they take as many pee breaks as they do in CYOJ ??? Seems to me there's hardly a time I depart or arrive there when the attendant doesn't call a three or five minute recess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess it's not quite as busy as OJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaedalusX Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 "A Bell 205 helicopter operated by Ultra Helicopters was inbound to High Level and the pilot failed to report at least 5 minutes prior to entering the Mandatory Frequency zone. Initial call was at 6.7 NM northwest of the airport with a 3 minute ETA." Biiiiiig deal .... :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
