CV courtesy ,Sorry dedhead, you were right

[DOUG]

We had just taken a field and were headed north. I turned the boat I was flyin from to the next target. THen I read what I MISTOOK for sarcasm, "Please don't turn the boat unless you are ON it, thank you."  Didn't realize you were serious, Dedhead, so I responded "Please learn to land, you're welcome"
  WasNOT tryin to be a "Richard", just really thought you were messin  with me, so I responded as I did. Everyone seemed to agree I was Captain Ahole, so, Imsorry to ded and all who had to witness my mouth

Probably a good idea to announce course change on country channel prior.  It's the unexpected that'll kill ya.

[DedHead]

no problem bro

Actually, your advise is spot on even though you were being a smarty pants.  With 50-100 potential captains on your side, its a good idea to expect the cv to turn at every takeoff and landing, and fly accordingly.  Its polite to announce a turn but the reality is that won't happen so every approach needs to made with a plan to handle an unexpected turn.

[Acidrain]

I will announce my CV turns only when pilot start calling the ball

[lutrel]

The boat never turns unless I'm taking off heavy or on short final missing half a wing................

[Zerstorer]

 

A tasteful mea culpa and public apology.

Well if level bombers are bearing down on the cv I'll turn it without warning usually.

Got be a better warning than nowt.
Have to admit a quick call on local is fantastic when it happens.

No one would fault you for that (or shouldn't).

Base is flashing, it's a bright red blinking light, boat's probably going to turn  
If it's not under attack, ya, it's a good idea to call the turn.
