"You're smoking a whole lot, you may just want to land"
Young pilot, as he takes-off in Cessna 172RG from Addison, Dallas, receives serious guidance from ATC. (www.dallasnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The advantage of always using the whole runway for departure no matter what your takeoff performance.
I agree completely.
Good story, but way too long winded, almost like they were trying to write a script for a movie about the incident.
Most people reading this article won't have much of an idea about what the roles and responsibilities of the participants are, or why the actions taken were significant.
Given that, I thought they did a fine job of relating everything that happened. Yes, to a pilot, that seems long-winded. But they got the details right (how many times have you seen that in print?) and explained things well.
I think we should be saying "good job" instead.

Very good point on that. I stand, or sit partially corrected.
Agreed, good story but I generally prefer a brief narrative of the problem and then what was done to resolve it... anything longer and it becomes difficult to use as a lesson.
Well, my thinking is that in the day of "if it bleeds, it leads" news reporting, had this aircraft not landed safely the story would have made the 6 pm news and the Dallas News would have sent an experienced reporter with a more broad array of general knowledge. Instead since this story is not all that sensational, my guess is the reporter in the byline is more than likely the typical cub or fluff reporter. Hence the long winded iteration of what turns out to be a relatively mundane occurrence.
