Oh, it's just confirmation bias. Once you start looking for planes dropping out of the sky, all of a sudden they're everywhere. No worries. Pay attention to something else.

Is the bloated orange pedo still blaming DEI for all of his aviation fatalities?

All of these plane crashes has Doe 174 so rattled he ordered Lolita Express to be encased in bubble wrap.

I wonder if those blaming Trump will realize that this airfield has no tower, and it is up to the pilots to know the rules as to how they self govern the control of the planes landing and taking off?

No guilt. We will start being fair to Trump just as soon as he starts being fair to, well, anyone.

It's his responsibility. He asked for it. Let him do something about it or go golfing.

Is it really any mystery to you that planes start falling from the sky as soon as Trump is president?

I couldn't think of any more natural thing.

VFR mid air collisions at uncontrolled airports such as occurred here is a result of pilots failing standard protocol. Like failing to stop and proceed in sequence at 4 way stop intersections or traffic circles. Its about not following rules of the road.

#11 there really aren't rules of the road.

There are FAA advisories.

But no one is ever given a ticket or "number to call"

At uncontrolled airfields??

I find it interesting how whatsleft and redial are having a humourous time with two deaths.

Wouldn't the idiom ~rules of the road~ also apply to the airspace?

Doesn't airspace have ~rules of the road~ that should be followed, as your comment suggests?

Non-towered airports use CTAF - Common Traffic Advisory Frequency - for pilots to announce their intentions in that airspace. For example - '52Echo taking off runway 36, staying in the traffic pattern'..or '52 Echo turning left to downwind for runway 36, altitude 800'.. and so on. It is up to aircraft entering that airspace to tune to the CTAF and communicate their intentions to other pilots usung that airfield. Each airport has published info such as pattern altitudes, left or right patterns, etc. that pilots use for 'rules of the road'. Aviate, Navigate, Communicate.
