I'm obviously not a kibbe pro by any means, but this just doesnt go into my head, i dont get it That seems unrealistic to me since it is so individual heavy. I feel like it is flawed that at a certain height you "can" only be three IDs. Unlikely yes, but not completely unrealistic. I get that with a certain height your bones are long and all, but it kind of grinds my gesrs that it is so set in stone and strict, as if no taller person could ever have a shorter ID. If it is only about your own proportions, why are there height limits at all? A certain height shouldnt make an ID not considerable, rather it would be unlikely but not completely excluded. i mean hell, i am scraping the limit with 5'7 and id personally say i dont look tall enough to be a dominantly vertical ID, because my proportions are still indicating a shorter ID. So why is it impossible that your own proportions, even despite being over 5'7, present an ID other than D or N related? Yes, they are less likely, but that doesnt mean impossible, does it? Their bones could still look short if only looking at their proportions. And im kind of certain itd be a different one from their "oh look I'm 5'8, i must be a D now" ID.īut you said it yourself, Kibbe is about your own proportions. I wonder what IDs taller people would get, if they pretended to be shorter on this sub here. I dont get how being an inch taller makes it completely impossible to present a certain ID, and you suddenly only have D left How can guys be certain IDs, that would be height limited for women, even if they are taller? Doesnt that mean it indeed is possible to present shorter despite being tall enough? Or does that mean the height limit is different for guys? Because even then my point would still stand. It's about the perception, isnt it? Even if a majority of tall women would present tall, some of them wouldnt, it isnt universal. Maybe in context with other people your size difference will become visible, but from picture only, it should be more accurate in terms of perception, but apparently height makes IDs impossible. I read people say it constantly, you cant present, idk, gamine if you are at a certain height, but i personally disagree. I suppose this is why Im the Aviation Liason within the fireworks company im with!īut seriously - if anyone wants advice on potential approach issues - take a look at the maps and then give the airspace controllers a call - I can always help dig out numbers for ATC units.What i dont understand, women have such a short height limit and it says that you physically cannot be xyz ID if you are that tall. So be careful on the 10nm extended centreline measurements! However, what the maps dont show are flight paths - Its easier to work out for bigger airports but for some it can be difficult and local knowledge is required.Īlso remember that distances are all nautical miles (nm) - these are 6080' per mile - 1 and 1/7 statute miles. These maps will let you know where the ATZs are (aerodrome traffic zones), and where all controlled airspace within 5000' of the surface is.
For the cost of £13/year you can buy the same maps that we aviators use - the 1:250000 series would be best - I think there are 4 covering the whole of the UK (from memory - most pilots use 1:500000 generally and even 1:1000000 for large heavies). Now you can help youselves here by getting some knowledge of the airspace (and Im willing to run a set of articles on understanding airspace is people want.).
Im a pilot, an instructor, and I also operate from RAF Brize Norton - so I know the airspace extremely well. So this is an issue which needs notification - not mandatory - but I fax the SATCO informing them of any displays either inside the zone, or outside the zone but may have conflict with aviation in the area. This results in an exit at Faringdon (a visual reference point used for entry to/exit from the controlled airspace) with a mere 600-700' ground clearance - and all this takes it directly overhead the Faringdon town's fireworks display site (which I am involved in firing on saturday).
Aircraft leaving the brize zone at night may leave the zone at 1000' on the Brize pressure setting. And the situation is not clear at all from the CAA's typically vague advice.įor instance, RAF Brize Norton controlled airspace extended approx 5-6nm to the south of the base itself. With aircraft flying at anything from 1000' above ground upwards a shell at 500+ is a is issue.
Im a flying instructor and love my fireworks tooįrom the flying perspective 1500' is a laugh - to be honest anything above 500' is a hazard to aviation - and thats not even close to an airport.
