ADS-B Out

Yep... just don't let all the new toys make you complacent about looking outside the aircraft.

I totally agree with everything stated. Fortunately he was vigilant. Then with the stall horn going off and correcting and trying to keep an eye on where the "cowboy" was once airborne. He did a damn fine job and went around and landed. It was his 1st solo cross country. I'll leave out the rest of the details, but it was at ITR (Kit Carson).

As a note, it seems most of these "cowboys" avoid the big Denver circle (thank goodness). There are a lot of cowboys out here. It is why we actually prefer to op in and out of tower controlled airports. Yes we miss some of the little ones, but I'd rather live to fly another day. At least in tower controlled space (most) pilots act somewhat more courteous and responsible. Go figure!

IMHO and not for a second suggesting that all pilots at uncontrolled airports are cowboys - so lets not start that. Just food for thought, for those that affect others without considering the consequences.

Both of my close calls have been at non controlled airports. It's suppose to be pilot controlled, but most of the near misses are due to Captain Oblivious. I had a near miss on landing with a twin that was landing down wind. When I finally got on the ground, I walked into the FBO to find Captain Oblivious on the phone with the owner trying to blame everyone and everything but himself for running it off of the runway through the drainage ditch and into the barbed wire fence at the South End of the runway. My other was with a Glider Pilot that was flying, I'm talking on the Unicom Frequency no one responds, my Zaon PCAS shows an aircraft nearby. I'm looking and finely see the knife edge if the glider wing as he's banking. He was above and in front of me maybe 500 feet.
