Upon landing, he calls to tell me he = has arrived safely. It is not a control issue or anything else. The ONLY thing it is would be courtesy. He has gone up and he has come home. =20 How many times have you all had friends who have died in a plane crash = and you were surprised to find they were even flying at the time? Pat and I = had a friend die last year in the plane crash into the house in Reno (many = of you heard of this). I had seen the instructor that morning on his way = out with the owner/student pilot of the Bonanza. When his car was still at = the airport hours later and the FAA called to say they had the student pilot = and his instructor, a black man named Chris, known to be on the plane, we = knew it was him. Unfortunately, his family was not always aware of his = flights, as they were numerous. Even more unfortunate, no one on our airport had = a way of contacting any family member at all. It took an internet search = to locate his son, a well known basketball player. A call to him asking if = he was the son of Chris was a painful exercise. More painful was telling = him over the phone that his father was believed to be deceased. Don't let = this happen to you and your loved ones. Let someone, a hangar pal, the fuel = pit, or someone know you are out and about, where you are going and when you expect to return. I agree with Bryan. It makes it a lot quicker to = locate you if the necessity arises. Susan Brunner=20
