A400 Atlas spotted

[Agent K]

Get a life Mike, it's a hobby, it should be fun, not an anal exercise in pedantry. I never look at OTT, I safely assume something is flying OTT of somewhere at some point, it's less relevant, now to see what types are visiting what airfields in which area, now that is interesting.

There goes another one Mike,good job!

He seems to specialise in it; yet why do the moderators do nothing about that??

Good question,I suspect our only answer will be a locked thread and a reprimand for everyone except the culprit.

As far as i'm concerned, i see no issue with this post. As i've said in the past, this section is designed for airfield logs, serial tie ups etc. The original post was clear that the aircraft 'had' been in the circuit and had already departed. The following post provided a serial tie up as well. So, all in all, an example of a movement log - exactly what this section is designed for.

Had the original post stated 'A400 in the circut talking to tower on 123.456' followed by continual updates on what it was doing i.e. live monitoring of the aircraft, then that should have been in the Heads Up/OTT - but it wasn't so it shouldn't be.

If people have an issue with a post or thread and think its in the wrong section, then use the 'report post' button rather than posting in the thread. The moderators will then make the decision if the post is in the correct section or not.

n.b. for any pedants out there, i know 123.456 isn't a correct freq!

All valid opinions above but the original post was not a log and if the second poster had not confirmed then there would have been no tie-up. It would therefore appear that as long as all the boxes are ticked somewhere along the thread then it becomes valid which in turn means the original post wasn't. Each to their own I suppose.

But isn't that what forums are about ? Sharing of information that is available and, if others have information to help improve on that then even better. There are no defined rules on what constitutes a log and the info posted clearly logs a historical movement at the base. For me, its fine as it is but other may not agree - each to their own as you say!

Just because the original thread was locked does not mean that the discussion can just continue in another.

Thread locked.
