Enforcement of Weather
Minimum Regulations
The CAA must assume a poli
cy of strict enforcement of “Be
low VFR Minimum Weather”
i\ filiations. The policy must also
include recommendation of the
application of severe penalties
when unauthorized flights occur
within control zones.
Infringement of Liberty
The setting up of a control
z me. such as the 13 mile An
chorage zone, or the 15 mile
Fairbanks zone, infringes upon
the liberi\ of an individual pilot.
He' may not enter or take-off
within the zone when the wea
ther is below three miles visi
bility or a thousand foot ceiling,
unless lie has a radio clearance,
or is oth. rwisc under direct con
trol of an Air Traffic Control
Center, lie must obtain and ac
cept such control.
"Rugged Robert” may be able
to slip into Merrill Field or Lake
Hood with ease in one mile vi
sibility. or less, but he is a traf
fic menace unless others know

whore ho is. The infringement
of his personal liberty is a grant
of liberty to 60 passengers in an
airliner to make a safe approach
to an airport under safe traffic
control.
Soiling iho Stage for Disaster
Irresponsible pilots set the
stage for disaster when they de
part from the behavior patterns
of responsible pilots. The follow
ing is an accident in the making:
The Situation: Anchorage wea
ther-ceiling 600 feet, ragged;
v isibility one mile in snow show
ers.
The Aircraft: A large trans
port on final approach to the
International Airport from the
Fire Island compass locator; and,
A light personal airplane, with
no radio, inbound from Kenai,
intending to land at Lake Hood.
The light-plane pilot figures
lie can get into Lake Hood with
out being seen, which is fine,
since he can't get a traffic clear
ance with no radio, and he’s a
rugged pilot, and all that.
The crew in the large trans
port have a traffic clearance,
since there is no other known
local traffic. They are just clear
ing the West beach line on the
glide path at 500 feet, clear of
the clouds, but concentrating
on tlie "needles.” "Hugged Rob
ert" is concentrating on the ap
pearance of the landmark that
will tell him to turn right to
Lake Hood, lie’s at 500 feet too.
Three things could happen.
1. Collision close, but neither
saw the other. 2. Collision avert
ed by violent action. 3. Colli
sion .
