Rule#2

I violated rule #2 today (25' rule)...
Flying way too close to pedestrians while making a short approach.
I believe this is an automatic 30 day suspension, and I will honor that.

Hey James, haven't seen you in a while, hopefully we'll cross paths when you're back.

That's awesome that you're self-policing, wish we had more pilots like you.

I contacted the club president about an incident, and he wouldn't tell me who the pilot was that pulled this maneuver:

Then he sent me this reply????
"I heard he got hit with someone's wake I think he's just inexperienced and doesn't know what's going on and he's trying to blame other people for his ignorance."

Then I found out who it was and got a reply from the president that the pilot's really sorry and didn't mean to do it???

Rule #5:
5. Pilots must fly safely and courteously, clearing all turns and maneuvers and observing International Ridge
Soaring Rules. Harassment, intimidation, or any conduct that could reasonably be expected to create conflicts with
other pilots, flying related or otherwise, are prohibited at Fort Funston and club events.

1,So how come you are not naming him here, Eric H?

2,Total load of crap.Watch the video.Clearly the "pilot" DID mean to do it.

3, Funston club officers won't do anything about this incident other than some ass covering.
