I took off from KNUC and was heading to L35 on the Advanced Server when a CRJ-200 (Callsign CR506) starts following me.
He passes too close in front of me a couple of times while enroute which I ignore thinking he’s trying to fly formation with me. But looks like he was having fun cutting in front of me!
I approach runway 26 at L35 and he descends behind me. I realise that he’s trying to land as well. Since I already was on final, I announce my position on the unicom hoping that he will maintain safe distance or go around. I’m about to touchdown when he passes above me and lands crashing into me (he was not sending any comm on the unicom all the while).
I reported him right away, but I thought I should share this here.
I’m surprised at his lack of courtesy to fellow fliers and also at his indiscipline! This is not expected from someone who’s Grade 3 and flying in the Advanced Server.
Exactly. It is unfortunate, but it happens on advanced occasionally. Usually when someone follows me without permission I keeping flying until they leave.
Well, he definitely was stalking me. I changed course, he followed suit. I increased speed, he followed suit. I slowed down and so did he. And yes, I was mad at him for crashing into me and more so because he wasn’t using unicom at all!
