FAA Notification on Large Model Rockets

We were doing normal mid power launched (TARC launches in fact) and saw no aircraft. Next thing I know I start hearing about stuff because a pilot landed and said "rockets". Well since we do the notification, it was not difficult for the tower to call my cell.

Who knows about this stuff? Who knows about anything? Why are you Jerry-squared?

More that your expirence will lead you to believe apparently.

Enough to keep a NAR section afloat for many years. BTW, who the hell are you anyway?

Yeah you know this is the last for me in this thread. You really know all about this, and therefore know way more than anyone else. Good for you.

I still want to figure out the answer, and yes there must be one.

why do FAA want the airspace cleared for say 20 - 90 miles of a special person ?

I know, the FAA does not require it, the Secret Service is telling the FAA to do so.

Poor Jerry.

What's phonetic spelling?

Facts not in evidence, if your postings on RMR are examples; unless the intent your postings are to piss people off..

He probably caught it from Jerry.

It's never to late to start.

I've not yet been pissed off my Steve and yet I've been debating him and losing to his upper hand so far.

rmr is for such debates you know.

My debates will slowly continue with him till I learn I guess what I need to learn.

I have never seen one or heard of one except Shecter for a time at Santa Fe Dam and the NARAM at Canon City, CO where HPR was banned :)

Not just politically.

But actually too.

Our rockets travel effectively in a vertical cone which is very high (although not by airplane standards) and very narrow by any standards.

Because of how narrow a rocket operational envelope is and compounded by the very short time in the air (all flights are stop and go's), the numerical risk even WITH aircraft in the area is astronomically low as many reports and studies have shown.

This is why I strongly advocate amending FAR 101 to greatly allow larger and more powerful rockets (BDR) and do so with an 8000 foot waiverless break point.

I'll never start. Name-calling is reserved for those unable to present a cogent argument.

Notice can be an issue in remote launch sites, but if notice is practical and received, I agree. But again ONLY on a waivered event.

If such a situation came up where there was even basis and jurisdiction to revoke it. Which is unlikely indeed.

Remember they had NARAM within the "security perimeter" of the "western white house" when it was active.

That was a feat.

Jerry

...better than I. :)

I can recognize an opinion or observation when I see it.

Jerry

I don't know about that, but I'm sure if he pulls this $hit with the folks he launches rockets with, he is a real popular guy. A quick look at the club web pages in and around Green Bay/De Pere, including launch reports did not find any mention of his name: Must be a lone ranger, as JI is so found of saying.(:-) In any case, he just got dumped into my kill file, with the other troubled souls..

Fred

misspelled.

Have a nut..(:-)
