Jet Jock run-in - a close call

Postby JRoc » Fri Jul 23, 2004 3:02 pm

So I'm in the pilot's lounge in Vancouver where I've taken delivery of an old Virgin 737 when I bumped into (literally) another pilot, causing him to spill his coffee on himself.  Naturally, I got out of there as fast as I could as the guy was pretty big and mean looking.

Nothing really out of the ordinary here:

As I'm turning towards my first waypoint, ATC alerts me that there is some traffic very close to my position:
Image

I've been cut off!! A close shave!
Image

Hmm... this doesn't seem right...
Image

Uh oh... that's the guy I bumped into in the lounge!
Image

Oh, great - he's following me to Calgary...
Image

Yep - he's right behind me... should I make a go-around and divert to my secondary (Edmonton)? It's such a good approach though!

no worries...ATC will muck up the approach for you so you'll be forced to execute a missed approach!
