| What the person is not tell everyone about this aircraft flying near a tower is that T-Mobile put this tower up in the downwind of the pattern for runway 26, just before you turn base. The didtance is just 6/10's of a mile from the runway. Also this tower was erected WITHOUT any leagle building permits and NO NOTAMS being published. How would you like to have to fly around like something this dangerous to land at your home airport??? Kind of makes you wonder what the FAA is thinking!!!! | |

| Federal Aviation Regulations mandate that a pilot not fly an aircraft within 500 feet of any person or structure. From my understanding, eyewitnesses reported that this aircraft was easily closer than 500 feet from the tower. Furthermore, it is not a big deal to alter the pattern configuration at the airport so as to remove any protential conflict between the tower and landing aircraft. Pilots, myself included, are aware of, and fly clear of radio towers and other obstructions all over the country every day. | |

| First of all buddy....we were here first...The tower was second. They built the tower with illegal building permits right in our pattern. | |

| Yes I do teach my students the regulations that the FAA publishes. But the the thing that I teach most is safty in and around an aircraft. I am very aware of the FAA reg. to not be any closer than 500' to a structure, execpt for takeoffs and landings. If you could not get closer that 500', you could not land at many airports in PA not to mention across the U.S. For example, landing at Capital City airport in Harrisburg, on short finnal, you fly within about 100 to 150' of a wherehouse under the approach. Most pilots and I do mean most, do know know how to fly a traffic pattern. They think bigger is better. A large pattern WILL get you KILLED!! There are many aircraft flying without radios and most pilots do not keep their eyes outside the aircraft where they belong. Most FAA pilots I would fail a BFR check ride for because of how they fly a pattern. If an aircraft is flown outside the glide path of it to make the runway with no power, the patttern IS TOO LARGE!!! If an engine faliure happens in the pattern you should be able to make the runway. If not you are putting the aircraft, the passengers and people on the ground in danger. You might be thinking what are the chances of an engine failure in the pattern. The FAA even publishes that most engine failures happen when the throttle is changed. In my flying hours, (about 2600hrs) I have had two engine failures and one engine emergency in the traffic pattern and I have brought the aircraft and passengers back to the runway with NO DAMAGE. In June of this year 2007, a student pilot, that just flew for the first time by him self two weeks eariler had and engine failure when turning base and he made the runway safely and no damages. To any pilots out there, the next time you are in the pattern, think to yourself, if the engine would stop, would you make it???? Many people make decisions without knowing the entire story. I repeat myself. This tower was put up WITHOUT building permits and many rules broken by the construction company. All of which I have proof to back me up. Charges were brought agains me by the FAA for careless and reckless, after the truth was brought out about was was done and what these pictures acutaly are showing the careless and reckless charges were droped. T-mobile should have many charges brought against them for braking the laws as to which they are to follow as a cell company. We have tried many times to try to work with T-Mobile and they would not even talk not to mention to try to work with us. Its all about the mighty dollar, not customer service and safty. The FAA is aware of the rules T-Moble are not paying any attention to. The FAA can make the rules but they have no teeth to enforce them. T-Mobile knows this and this what they continue the dangerous practices. WHEN WILL THE FAA EVER DO SOMETHING TO PROTECT PILOTS AND PASSENGERS INSTEAD OF MAKING CONDITIONS MORE DANGERIOUS FOR US????? | |
