This looks to be about 2-3', are you telling me you don't watch for obstacles?
I do. I also can't see my wingtip from the cockpit, and 2-3' is damned near impossible to judge relative to a 100' wing.
I know. But I assume you have a general idea about distances, otherwise I doubt you'd pass your medical.
I fucking guarantee you can't estimate 100' to within 3%.
And what about in bad weather when just about all I can see is the centerline of the taxiway? Am I supposed to diving the distance to the pole then?
Sure, but you shouldn't be running into something feet down your wing.
Are you a pilot? Because holy shit is this a stupid take. It's a couple of feet into a 100' long wing that I can't even see from the cockpit.
But your probably right, pika have no responsibly in regards to not running into things. I'm sure tie chief pilot will agree.
If a small rodent is flying your plane then you have bigger problems that running into things :)
