Good on 5DS for proactively mentioning having cell phone contact information. There are a number of major issues here, including radio operation, the light communication, and clearance for multiple touch and gos (Touches and go?); everything else aside, it's a good teachable moment for everyone else.

      I just knew that had to be somewhere in Florida. Er, no offense intended. I'm sure that most Florida pilots are fine, maybe better than that. Just like the majority (50.000001%?) of Florida drivers actually do have insurance and are capable of driving across an otherwise deserted parking lot without totaling the one other vehicle in it and then driving off. So it sort of becomes an "if I had to guess, I'd guess Florida" kind of thing, lol.

    Had a similar occurrance unfold years ago in Roanoke, Virginia one calm and beautiful Spring night. A student pilot from Mountain Empire Airport wandered into the pattern for runway 23 from the west and commenced several touch-and-goes without saying a word to the Approach Controller, tower or anybody. We came in to land flying a Metroliner, and after all our passengers deplaned the two of us and our ground crew stood out there on the ramp making bets as to how many more times he'd land and takeoff. We still had the tower and ground control frequencies up in our numbers one and two comms. with the cabin speaker on, and when the guy finally landed full-stop we heard him call the ground controller after he pulled off the runway and stopped, seeking taxi instructions. We thought we'd never hear the end of his admonishment from the tower. Boy! That was way back in 1986. I remember it like it was last week.

      Similar thing happened in 2021 at the FBO I was renting from. Another renter, a student pilot on a solo X/C, took up a Skyhawk and flew over to Newport News (PHF) and did a touch and go without ever talking to tower. As per the student, they thought the part-time tower was closed when they were flying in, hence not even bothering to tune in (Twr and Unicom are different freqs). Needless to say, the FSDO wasn't very amused: the pilot, their instructor, and FBO personnel were all called in to Richmond for a chat.

    Wow, at my favorite airport no less. Many moons ago I was a recently-minted pilot renting a clapped out Cessna 172 out of KFXE. Was doing touch n go’s at KPMP (less busy, quicker patterns) when on approach my radios went kaput. As a new pilot, I was terrified and thinking that homeland security would soon chase after me with Blackhawks and guided missiles, if I failed to communicate with the tower. I sprinted up to about 2,500 ft and headed back to FXE to sort things out. I gathered up my courage, dropped it down to about 1,500 ft and circled the FXE tower, wagging my wings. Man, the relief when I got the light signals (forgot what color) and I went right into the pattern and landed. Turned out my alternator was crapped out. Did the writeup letter to the FAA and heard nothing of it since.

Not sure what became of him (or if he was ever seen again😁 )

    I had radio failure in the pattern happen to me when I was a student pilot flying solo. When the engine was running at high power setting, the radio did not work, and apparently I missed a call from the tower. When I reduced power downwind the radio came back and the tower controller first snapped at me about not answering, but was mollified when I told him about the radio issue. I was cleared to land and advised to taxi to parking and check out a different aircraft. I can't imagine how a competent pilot can do multiple patterns without getting cleared for landing or the option. Also, having a handheld COM radio in the flight bag is cheap insurance.

So, carrying a handheld is not a bad habit, but I wouldn't call it insurance. Asking the tower to point a light gun at you has more value so you know what to look for when it is for real

However, you are right, in the pattern the workload is high, so fiddling with the radio while flying is not such a good idea. For radio failure on a longer flight it may be helpful though.

    As I recall if your radio goes faulty then you squawk 7600 and if you have any kind of landing clearance (touch and go or full stop), then you land and vacate the runway. Otherwise you leave the pattern safely and go land at an uncontrolled airfield.

    This is in the middle of some very busy airspace. If Tampa International is operating arrivals on the 1L (1L/19R is the most used runway), then the usual approach pattern for arriving aircraft is to turn south over Tampa or Clearwater before making a 180-degree turn near this location to align with 1L (or 1R, but 1L is used more even when both parallel runways are operating). Of course, the arriving aircraft will be about 1500-2500ft at this point, but I still think that's a bit close for a VFR GA plane without radio communication. There's also MacDill Air Force base a few miles to the northeast with a main runway aligned northeast-southwest. While not as busy as TPA, it's still a large base for tankers and I'd imaging their departures would typically be to the southwest over the bay as northeast departures would be noisy as they go over urban areas. I'm not a pilot to understand how the airspace for each airport interacts along this part of Tampa Bay, but I would guess it would be based on altitude and location to allow simultaneous operations between TPA/MCF/SPG with the tiny SPG only serving general aviation controlling only a very low altitude to avoid conflict with traffic in/out of the other two.
    P.S. SPG seems to be a popular location for touch and go flights. I've been to the nearby St.Peter Pier a few times, and almost every time I can see small planes taking off at SPG and then pull up Flightradar24 to find small planes doing touch and go flights.

    • @tylerl5649

    I fly into SPG all the time, it's a great little GA airport with a challenging runway setup for newer pilots. I recognize the controller's voice as well.
    If you ever hear silence when on approach to a controlled airport you ALWAYS try to establish 2 way comms, you can ask a question like "SPG tower is 80F still cleared for the option?", if you don't get a response and the tower is in operation then you know you have bigger problems.

My guess is he turned his radio down for some reason and forgot. Now, that doesn't explain why he thought he could continue flying the pattern without communicating.

    Question about light gun signals: the controller says he gave him a red signal. The chart on screen says that in the air, that means "continue circling, give way." On the ground, it means stop.
    Could this be considered an ambiguous instruction? If he was intending to touch and go, and was given a "continue circling" light.
    Should he have been given the flashing green "return to land" light instead?
