By CHARLIE ELLIS
@Vhen you’re practicing spot land-
ings, you have to be on a close
lookout for probably six other light
planes that are also circling around
to land one at a time in the same
nice.
By CAA regulations, you are not
permitted to approach another plane
nearer than 500 feet unless forma-
tion flying has been prearranged.
So if you're following a track
that will bring you near another
plane, the thing -to do is get away
and come back again to try your
landing.
To help in ordering traffic
for landings, red and white
flags are kept near the spot
“where you're to come in If the
white flag is out, you have a
safe lane for landing If the
red one is out, get out of the
way. .
You take off, with another plane
. OO rying your instructor right be-
hind you. He tails you around your
traffic course and you notice he’s
right behind you when you throttle
the motor over the landing spot.
You look back again, and he’s
following you through your paces 1
* a 360-degree turn for landing
and you notice the red flag is out.
So you go away and come back
again for another try at landing.
He’s waiting when you come down.
SWIVEL-NECK
@Did you ever see one of those
little hoot-owls sitting around a
prairie-dog town?" he asks.

they keep their eyes on you as you 1

approach. You can go around one
in a circle and his neck works on a
swivel to keep nim always looking
at you. He keeps his eyes on you
anyway you go.
"That's the way,” he says, "you
have to be when you’re flying a
plane ” Then, "Didn’t you see me
following you around while ago?
Didn’t you see that red flag on the
runway?"
Sure, you watched him and saw
the flag too, but you figured he
knew what he was doing.
"Suppose I hadn’t been in that
plane, what would you have done?"
he demands
You would have moved out.
“What if you got down and
found out that it wasn't me in
the other plane?” the instructor
quizzes.
Well, you would have felt pretty
silly, having watched him when he
moved in right behind on the take-
off. But you get the idea anyhow
Driving a car down the street,
you can be reasonably sure when
you have the right-of-way and if
something happens you can collect
damages.
In the air, you cant ever be too
sure of right-of-way, and if your
estate collects any damages, you
can't spend cold cash in the cold
ground.
