With no established circuit traffic to follow, and probably no radio, he might blindly follow this assumption and land downwind - AND with a significant downslope in that direction. Short runways become MUCH shorter under these conditions... Possibly, but he would have to ignore the windsock at the end of the Northrepps runway he was approaching and the one on the hill nearby - and I assume pilots are trained to look for these? Ian |
