FAA Notification on Large Model Rockets

The FAA request is sufficient. I do not presume to be cognizant of the big picture, that's the FAA's job.

Actually, what is relevant is that I questioned his lack of common sense AFTER he demonstrated a lack of common sense.

Your time would have been better spent trying to understand what was being explained to you.

Wouldn't it have been easier to admit you didn't know of any?

Well, I do have the big picture.

And, the conversation would end right there..

Then rather than baiting folks, you should of stated your position and qualified it with your expert opinion/knowledge. Playing stump uninformed, is evidence of a true "A$$ HOLE". I wonder if you do this with the group you launch rockets with??

I am fully aware of situations where this is a real scenario. I am fully aware of aircraft involved in this scenario that have had a rocket fly close enough to them that they were concerned. And no, there is no necessity for weapons fire to be involved. Folks who've been involved with comments I've made over time in this forum a free to piece together what they may.

I would add that the situations that I've heard involved folks who are also heavily involved in rocketry, so it didn't particularly concern them. If that had not been the case, however, it could well have been a problem.

No, it's Socratic.

While an excepted teaching method in an academic environment, it has no place here; at least without first establishing your purpose and expertise..

Let's have the details.

Aircraft operations in the vicinity is already covered by FAR 101.23(a) so there's no reason to request a cessation of rocketry activities for it.

That all depends on the bad guys, doesn't it? I said a counter-drug operation COULD involve weapons fire, I didn't say it had to.

Why is it not an accepted teaching method here? Do people not come here to learn? Why does one have to establish purpose and expertise before asking a simple question?

Asking simple questions was not your purpose, now was it? However, now that I preceive/understand you better, I see no further purpose in responding to your postings, other than for fun. I'm sure if you pull this $hit with the folks you fly rockets with, you arer a real popular guy. If you are ever at a launch and you hear my name, be sure to introduce yourself. I'm sure I will do the same, If I hear yours. Should be an interesting conversation..(;-)

Steven, FYI David is above average reasonable. Cisco and Wallace are wack supreme. In fact, he is likely to contact the FAA "for you" in an effort to see what can be done to you.

Want a cite?

You should see him squirm when asked how or what he did to see that DOT "processed" a/my 1.3 application (a default approval application).

Really. I thought you said you didn't know what it was to "BIG TIME" anyone. Huh.

What request?

What does this have to do with ATC notifications?

But it is phunnie as hell!!

You are speaking above his head. The big one too.

excepted :)
