Hall of Shame

Hall of Shame – Aviation in Michigan

What is the Hall of Shame?

The Hall of Shame is a place where those that have any power to help are exposed for unethical, abhorrent or just plain creepy behavior. Transgressions are often concealed from the public eye as those that have power abuse their position, often by preying upon the most vulnerable members of society.

In sacrificing publicly stated principles, such individuals and organizations controlled by their members have betrayed those who entrusted them with power, responsibility and control. Their detestable behavior epitomizes the corruption and injustice that society actively fights.

The aim of the Hall of Shame is to expose & place pressure on these people to change their behavior to be in line with community expectations of someone in a position of power. The Hall’s aim is to use shame, the personal feeling of internal revulsion and self-condemnation that is the direct consequence of rejection by one’s community. Shame comes from deep inside oneself; it is the result of a breach of one’s personal ethics. Shame is one of the most powerful emotions. It is the consequence of one violating social or cultural values through either thoughts or behavior.

Shame differs from guilt, which is the regretful violation of one’s own internal values. Shame on the other hand, is not only intensely personal but also contains a public element. Shaming individuals and organizations publicly can help to ensure powerful members of society are accountable for their actions.

The Hall of Shame highlights shameful behavior of those people who are or could be influential in society, policy makers, those who enforce policies and those most affected by policies. The ultimate purpose of the Hall of Shame is to promote public pressure on such people so that they amend their behavior, and deter others.

If it takes a “Hall of Shame” to raise issues within local communities & society in general of the shameful acts perpetrated by those in a position to bring about changes, then so be it!

In other words, if the MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” feels free & easy to openly bring Negative Aviation Impacts into others homes, neighborhoods & schools taking advantage of & preying on vulnerable populations including babies, pregnant women, schoolchildren and elderly then it’s easy to be equally free to expose with publicly available information.

Hall of Shame Award Naming Convention

It was a relatively easy choice to select a name for the Hall of Shame Community Award given to the Best Community Pariah, Bullies, Loser(s) and Malcontent(s). It did not take long, after some relatively easy thought, conversation and brainstorming within a community repulsed by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and their Special Interest and industry Lobbyist Cronies for the last 50 years. The name for the coveted Hall of Shame award was selected & ratified wholeheartedly:

Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) “ShitHeel Award”

The term “shitheel” used in John Steinbeck’s “Grapes of Wrath” described a person who had excrement on the backs of their shoes or feet from squatting down on the side of the road to poop, but are totally unaware, oblivious actually, they have excrement on their shoes or feet. However, everyone else around IS aware and are totally disgusted by their clueless “don’t give a damn about anyone else” toxic nature.

Steinbeck plainly stated his purpose in writing his novel Grapes of Wrath: “I want to put a tag of shame on the greedy bastards who are responsible for this [the Depression and the plight of the worker].” Power leads to selfish discontent, the few people despite having the greatest potential to help, are the most ungrateful, miserly and sadly just don’t care about anyone but themselves.

Capturing the Spirit of the MDOT “ShitHeel Award”

The MDOT “ShitHeel Award” is derived from long History of Darwin Awards Great Performers & Contributors.

Some risky pilots have even stuck their torsos out of the window in order to capture an epic selfie. WARNING: However, this isn’t exactly legal. The U.S., for instance, says that pilots must refrain from ‘all-non-essential activities’ during the flight.

Most recently, quite a boneheaded display of irresponsible Aviation stupidity, luckily everyone is alright, no one was needlessly injured on the ground. If these clowns want to kill themselves fine, but to risk harming or killing others is unquestionably socially & morally just wrong.

MDOT “ShitHeel” Scientific Taxonomy, Classification & Breakdown of MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” Community Pariah AKA MDOT Sponsored Flying Rodeo Clowns

Invertebrates are species of animals that neither possess nor develop a vertebral column, derived from the notochord. This is a grouping including all animals apart from the chordate subphylum Vertebrata.

The Invertebrates constitute an artificial division of the animal kingdom, comprising about 95 percent of animal species and about 30 different phyla. Invertebrates are especially important as agricultural pests, parasites, or agents for the transmission of parasitic infections to humans and other vertebrates.

Invertebrates are generally soft-bodied animals that lack a rigid internal skeleton for the attachment of muscles but often possess a hard outer skeleton. As in most mollusks, crustaceans, insects, and small dangerous outdated aircraft AKA Flying Junk Piles (FJPs), the hard outer shell (airframe) provides a limited form of body protection, e.g. especially when impacting terrain. The Phylum (some argue sub-phylum) MDOT is considered an “invasive Species” across the entire State of Michigan. BTW: many expert SMEs consider helicopter – rotorcraft “ShitHeels” as equivalent or same species, but is an ongoing research topic in academic circles.

Specifically we’re talking about Phylum: MDOT, Class: ShitHeel. In addition to MDOT “ShitHeels”, other invasive species in Michigan (html) include zebra mussels, quagga mussels, sea lamprey, round goby, Eurasian ruffe, spiny waterflea and fish hook waterflea. Of these invaders, MDOT “ShitHeels” ties first place with zebra mussels and best illustrates the multiple impacts of a single invasive species on ecosystems across an entire State. SEE: Michigan Invasive Species (html).

Other familiar examples of invertebrates include arthropods, mollusks, annelids, echinoderms, cnidarians, and of course now the lesser known but rapidly proliferating MDOT. The more specific species example from the Phylum MDOT is the typical common name MDOT “ShitHeel” whose scientific name is “Faeces Calcaneus” etymologically derived as follows:

  • Faeces comes from the Latin word, faceces, which means sediment, dregs, bottom of the barrel, etc. Faeces began to directly refer to human excrement in the seventeenth century. Faeces refers to any animal’s solid waste, excreted from the bowels, through the anus. In North America, the spelling is feces and the adjective is spelled fecal. However, experts chose to use the spelling “faeces” as it relates to and perfectly suits the elite privileged entitled MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” Community Pariah as a group, and just looks fancier, is more exotic & therefore more socially acceptable for the wealthy Flying Junk Pile (FJP) owners.
  • Calcaneus (from the Latin calcaneum, meaning heel or heel bone) is a bone of the tarsus of the foot which constitutes the heel.
  • It is well-known and common knowledge factoid that Faeces Calcaneus is NOT physiologically capable of caring about vulnerable populations or telling the truth even when confronted by hard facts, knowledge & expertise regarding 2014 BLL data from over 1,000,000 million Michigan Children. Instead, the species performs extreme “hand waving” spewing gibberish & “hot air” including flatus or intestinal gas (many contend contains TEL + EDB + PFAS!), that nobody seems to understand about “TEL No Threat”. Sad but true, even experts from “Guinness World Records” in addition to “Ripley’s Believe it or Not” have observed this strange bizarre behavior in the wild that other warm blooded mammals cannot learn or even imitate let alone get away with entirely “Scot Free”! No wonder Ripley’s and Guinness SMEs are monitoring the invasive MDOT Phylum situation closely as they are setting new records & accomplishing new heights of unbelievable ignorance & stupidity almost daily and are “completely out of control” with no end in sight!

Stay tuned for more developing info on this critical invasive species in the State of Michigan as MDOT acts and wants others to believe this is an “endangered species” while citizens, residents and taxpayers know the species is just invasive with zero other positive community outcomes & impacts.

MDOT Related Species: MDOT Green Bottle Fly. Community Outsider Itinerant Operations & Negative Aviation Impacts Destroying & Trashing Canton, Plymouth & Plymouth Township, Surrounding Neighborhoods, Homes & Schools! MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” Covered with MDOT Green Bottle Flies!

We’re talking about Phylum: Arthropoda, Class: Insecta shown on the “Classification of Invertebrates” above. Common house flies including the common green bottle flies are attracted to decaying organic filth such as feces and rotting meat. Makes one wonder if green bottle flies are harmful? While unsightly and a nuisance, the green bottle fly is also a serious potential threat to human health since these pests transmit diseases like dysentery and salmonellosis through food contamination. Symptoms can range from mild cramps to severe diarrhea, vomiting, headache, weakness and fever.

Unfortunately, some flies, e.g. especially MDOT Green Bottle flies, work together, that is they have a symbiotic relationship with other closely related species e.g. MDOT ShitHeels to distribute & transmit one of the most destructive toxins known to mankind, Tetraethyl Lead (TEL), which they freely & openly distribute to anyone whether recipients asked for it or not. The MDOT Shitheels and MDOT Green Bottle Flies are just exercising their ‘right’ to burn “100LL Leaded Aviation Fuel” after all, right?

Remember the 80/20 rule (Pareto Principle Wikipedia)? Easily well over 80% of the Negative Aviation Impacts are provided courtesy of residents of other communities, e.g. from Community Outsiders from neighborhoods that are NOT bordering MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” airstrip AKA Plymouth Canton Mettetal 1d2 airport. This was true in 1991 as discussed on the home page, and true to this day. As outlined on the home page: It is still the same sad day “when any airport lobbying effort (community outsiders) which includes people from as far away as ‘INSERT NAME’ can influence & override local decisions & disregard the Health, Safety & Welfare of local residents”.

Community Outsider Itinerant Operations are like a “swarm of green bottle flies on poop” (BTW: warning don’t click link if you’re eating) (html) stomping their little feet and gyrating their Flying Junk Pile (FJP) propellors buzzing about THEIR rights to contaminate others’ neighborhoods, homes and schools & poison other vulnerable populations in their desired strictly ‘confrontational’ manner. After all Community Outsider Itinerant Operations have a right to champion Negative Aviation Impacts anywhere, anytime, for any reason, by their choice.

It really doesn’t matter what you call Community Outsiders. Interloper, refugee, straggler, aliens, strangers, squatters, weeds, intruders, etc. They are strictly external and more commonly known as Community Outsider Itinerant Operations, professional NIMBYs (Not in My Backyard) that continue to wreak havoc & menace local communities as they have for the last 50 years. It is also important to remember:

  • Nothing to do with Aviation, Aerospace or Defense Industries or really flying anywhere, mainly obnoxious sport recreational hobbyists and State of Michigan registered “Pleasure, Recreational, or Social Clubs” AKA Flying Clubs, Special Interests & Industry Lobbyists that show up looking for ‘confrontation’ over imagined artificial Social Entertainment Venue ‘rights’ to poisoning everyone & everything around them with Tetraethyl Lead (TEL) all paid for by Taxpayers!
  • Have no vested interest in the local community, neighborhoods, schools or protecting vulnerable populations.
  • Primary concern is about their convenience, saving their time & their money or exercising personal ‘choice’ like selecting a ‘golf course’ and nothing more.
  • Have ready access to multiple aviation facilities that are far more appropriate.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Definition of Itinerant Operations AKA MDOT Green Bottle Flies Community Outsiders

FAA defines “Itinerant Operation” as takeoff or landing operations of airplanes going from one airport to another airport that involves a trip of at least 20 miles. Local operations are excluded.

It’s interesting to note however, several key related alternative and more appropriate airports are under twenty miles away, there is no lack of choice. Some are just minutes away from 1d2 including:

Several alternative and more appropriate airports are just barely over 20 miles away:

That’s a total of 8 “more appropriate airports within minutes, and there are many others that are not listed here. The MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” needlessly duplicates many other Michigan Aviation facilities, is completely superfluous and totally UNEEDED for any rhyme or reason whatsoever!

Remember: these activities have nothing to do with jobs, taxes, revenue, critical infrastructure, national security, the future of anything in Michigan or have any socially redeeming meaning or value to more than handful of full-fledged members of the Flying Junk Pile (FJP) Owners and Operators Patrol (FJPOOP). Remember we’re talking about a Hobby, Sport, Recreational Social Entertainment Venue for storing personal flying junkpiles & wealthy collectors’ items and antique curiosities for State of Michigan registered “Pleasure, Recreational, or Social Club” (flying clubs), and wealthy Special Interests & Industry Lobbyists, period.

The First Annual Hall of Shame 2024 “MDOT ShitHeel” Awards Goes to: Surprise Four Way Tie Between Civil Air Patrol (CAP) GLR183 Wing, the MDOT Clown Patrol themselves, Canton-Plymouth Mettetal MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” Based Dawn Patrol flying club and Ford Eagles flying club

In the spirit of the Darwin Awards focusing on “Excellence” in “astoundingly” [stupid judgment] in this case horrible Negative Aviation Impacts & treatment of a host community.

Here are the five-way tie Award Winners for the first 2022 “ShitHeel Award” for Outstanding Negative Aviation Impact Contributions to a Community, vulnerable populations or a United States of America State:

  • Civil Air Patrol (CAP) GLR183 – AKA Civil Air Pariah for relentlessly wasting taxpayer money & habitually applying their idiot wizardry against surrounding communities. LIVONIA THUNDERBOLT (AKA ThunderDolt) COMPOSITE SQUADRON Home (html) | LIVONIA THUNDERBOLT COMPOSITE SQUADRON | Civil Air Patrol National Headquarters.
  • The State of Michigan’s own MDOT Clown Patrol – singlehandedly ignored Tetraethyl Lead (TEL) studies originated in 2014 resulting in millions of Michigan Children quietly, knowingly & needlessly continuing Aviation Lead exposure for no discernable reason at all!
  • Dawn Patrol Flying Club – one of surrounding Communities enduring habitual repeat favorites for outstanding contributions & performance(s).
  • Ford Eagles [Flying Club] – second of surrounding Communities enduring habitual repeat favorites for outstanding contributions & performance(s).

There’s even a “Special Award” trophy for Outstanding MDOT 1d2 Helicopter / Rotarcraft ShitHeel!

And a special Helicopter / Rotarcraft tribute from adoring fans! 

So, why are there Hall of Shame Awards at all? Simple, to recognize the most consistent selfish, obnoxious, persistent community pariah.

Mega-bucks certainly appear to breed mega-insecurity: A lesson from the MDOT VIP area of first-world problems – the more they spend, the more cheated they feel, the more recognition they want, and the more hostility animosity & revenge the MDOT Clown Patrol wants to inflict to protect & defend their turf. And Michigan taxpayers keep needlessly footing the bill for everything, from infrastructure to administration, regulation, etc. for absolutely zero ROI. Needless to say, MDOT excels at incinerating taxpayer money for MDOT benefit.

What Are the Extremely Loud Aircraft Noises Over My Home, Schools and Neighborhoods?

Most people are curious, startled, scared, protective and even defensive any time you here loud or out of place noises in your neighborhood, especially when it’s directly over your head. Here are some tools that help figure who, what and possibly why the Negative Aviation Impacts including noise are occurring. Here is perfect example, even though there are certainly “Bad People” or “Aviation Liabilities”, please remember in many cases there are the “Good People” (“Aerial Assets”), but NOT always.

“Good People” or “Aerial Assets” Over Your Home, Schools and Neighborhoods

Here a few examples of “Good People” or “Aerial Assets” Over Your Home, Schools and Neighborhoods:

  • 10 military aircraft to land on U.P. highway this month (html) 06-02-2022 – mlive.com.

Public Domain Information & Tools to Identify “Bad People” or “Aviation Liabilities” Over Your Home, Schools and Neighborhoods

As mentioned not all are “Good People” or “Aerial Assets”, some are truly “Bad People” or “Aviation Liabilities” Over Your Home, Schools and Neighborhoods. So how can I identify them?

  • Live Flight Tracker (html) – FlightAware. For any airport.
  • AirNav RadarBox (html) – Live Flight Tracker and Airport Status.

With these two publicly available services anyone can identify & track just about anything. As previously mentioned sometimes they are actually “Aerial Assets”, AKA the “Good People” such as Michigan State Police (N827ST), Sheriff Departments (N631SD, N911NQ) or Military related as mentioned above, and might appear but not always, on public domain trackers based on the specific nature of the mission. Here are a few more “Aerial Assets”, AKA the “Good People”:

  • Michigan State Police (MSP). Find Your Career with the Michigan State Police (MSP) (html).
  • Aviation Unit (html) | Michigan State Police (MSP).
  • Michigan State Police (@MichStatePolice) / Twitter.
  • Sgt. Matt Rogers, Michigan State Police (MSP), receives Helicopter Association International (HAI) Salute to Excellence Law Enforcement Award (html)  01-13-2022 – Vertical Mag.
  • Videos show Michigan State Police helicopter assist Detroit police with arrests (html) 01-15-2022 | Click On Detroit.
  • Petition · End the MSP Helicopter patrols over Grand Rapids Michigan (html) · Change.org. Not everyone feels the same or is equally happy about Helicopters over their neighborhoods.
  • Michigan State Police (MSP) Helicopters – State of Michigan | Helis.com.

Also, it is possible to “block” tracking specific aircraft for a various number of reasons. ”Blocked” means the aircraft owner(s) have specifically requested the publicly available commercial services NOT to provide their unique identification signature for some reason, e.g. due to origination, destination, passengers, cargo, etc. Most of the time this isn’t a good idea, else how can anyone identify aircraft to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other authorities for further investigation? Here are a few examples of “Blocked” aircraft on FlightAware: N556UH-FA, N76DC-FA, and N431SL-FA.

How Can One track “Blocked” Aircraft and “Bad People” Trying to Evade Detection or Hide for Unknown Reasons?

As previously mentioned, one can identify & track just about anything, and what about the truly “Bad People”, the true “Aviation Liabilities” flying over your home, schools and neighborhoods with bad intent, malice, including harassment or intimidation. Here is another public tool for tracking, again just about anything can be tracked but with some very serious exceptions:

It’s even possible to track Elon Musk’s (@elonmusk) Gulfstream 650ER. N628TS ADS-B. See Elon Musk’s Jet (@ElonJet) / Twitter. Why this teen tracks flights of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, billionaires (html) 02-02-2022 | CNBC. Here are a few more interesting examples: Some aircraft registrations are just 2-SEXY – Corporate Jet Investor (html) 07-18-2017 | Corporate Jet Investor.  Elon Musk offers $50k to teen to remove flight tracker bot (html) 01-26-2022 – Protocol. FAA Accidentally Disclosed New Flight Data on Epstein’s Private Jets (html) 11-29-2021 | Business Insider. The new FAA records include hundreds of previously unknown flights made by Epstein’s jets.

Local MI79 Exec Airport (MI79) – FlightAware will never or very rarely show any arrivals or departures because Helicopter flights that are “Blocked” are not publicly logged, you can however “pay” to access the data if you want. However, the “Blocked” aircraft can easily and freely be tracked on ADS-B Exchange: N556UH-ADS-BE, N76DC-ADS-BE, N431SL-ADS-BE if the ADS-B transponder is operating as required by law and the aircraft is flying.

Here a few brief examples of tracking “blocked aircraft”: Ford Motor Company must have some really deep business pain & deep pockets for private chartered Helicopter flights to Flat Rock Michigan Assembly Plant (N431SL image-1) and Avon Lake Ohio Assembly Plant (N556UH image-1) or just taking a spin around Canton / Plymouth area to “kick up the dust” (N76DC image-1 image-2):

Low flying helicopters are NOT just a problem in the United States, other countries such as Canada object to low flying helicopters as well: U.S. helicopters hovering over Windsor neighbourhoods ‘not violating any Canadian laws’ (html) 09-27-2021 | Windsor Star. City council will appeal to the city’s two MPs to help address resident complaints about low-flying U.S. sightseeing helicopters hovering over Windsor neighbourhoods. The control tower at Windsor Airport previously sent a request to the tour operators asking them to fly at higher altitudes and to stop hovering over Windsor neighbourhoods, the report says. The city has made a similar request. “However, it does not appear that the practice has changed since this request was made,” the report says. “This issue falls under federal jurisdiction and leaves the municipality with no viable options.”

Additionally, Federal, State and Local government aircraft performing sensitive operations are now permitted to fly with their installed automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) position reporting electronics turned off.

Another exception is that Civil Air Patrol (CAP) individual N-Numbers are blocked which doesn’t make much difference if you’re tracking take-off departures and arrival landings from a specific origination or destination code along with an ICAO hex address. There may be other exceptions as well? BTW: the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) AKA Community Air Pariah AKA Swivel Chair Patrol AKA Civil Air Pariah get their own dedicated page on this site.

NOTE: hopefully the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) FSDO is reading this as it appears there is a serious increase in MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” incidents where individuals are turning off or tampering or operating with malfunctioning, broken or misconfigured ADS-B transponders apparently making it possible to evade detection and reporting! More details below.

What is Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)?

Ok, so what exactly is ADS-B? The Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is the most common method for aircraft to report their state information like identity, position, and speed. Like other Mode S communications, ADS-B makes use of the 1090-megahertz transponder to transmit data. The protocol for ADS-B is open, and low-cost receivers can easily be used to intercept its signals.

Briefly, ICAO identifiers are 24-bit unique numbers assigned to an ADS-B “transponder” in an aircraft and are commonly specified in hexadecimal (base 16) notation. Hexadecimal numbers uses 4-bits per number (0-F), thus 4 bits x 6 places = 24 bits for a total of 0 – 16,777,216 unique decimal or 0 – FFFFFF hex numbers, capitalization does not matter as there are no other valid combinations.

ADS-B transponder addresses are similar in nature to a computer Media Access Control (MAC) address for a Network Interface Card (NIC). MAC address is sometimes referred to as a networking hardware address, the burned-in address (BIA), or the physical address. Here’s an example of a MAC address for an typical Ethernet NIC: 00:0a:95:9d:68:16, six sets of 2 hexadecimal digits. There are many more computers than aircraft so MAC addresses are mapped to 128-bit Internet Protocol Version 6 IPv6 addresses, basically:

  • IPv6 uses 128-bit (2128) addresses, allowing 3.4 x 1038 unique IP addresses. This is equal to 340 trillion-trillion-trillion IP addresses.
  • IPv6 is written in hexadecimal notation, separated into 8 groups of 16 bits by the colons, thus 8 x 16 = 128 bits in total.
  • An IPv6 address representation looks like this: 2001:db8:1234::f350:2256:f3dd/64
  • The surface area of the earth is about 5.1 x 1014 square meters. That means there are about 6.67 x 1023 IPv6 addresses for every square meter of the entire Earth’s surface!

It’s not hard to imagine very soon, just as Internet Protocol Version 4 IPv4 which could reference only 32-bit (4,294,967,296) entities was moved to IPv6 128-bit addresses, the ICAO 24-bit addresses (16,777,216) will need to move to a larger address space as more Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), e.g. drones, satellites and other air & space systems are added to the growing global population of addressable & identifiable entities.

FAA regulations – Is it legal to fly without a transponder? (html)  – Aviation Stack Exchange. Can I shut off the transponder and fly legally? No. You can’t turn ADS-B off and fly legally in Southeast Michigan.

What Are Revenge Fly-Bys?

NOTE: the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) at Willow Run (KYIP has been contacted regarding  disingenuous low altitude “go-arounds” or “low approaches” or “low takeoffs” AKA revenge fly-by (low flying harassment) behavior at the MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” described on this web site. Clarifications and updates will be provided as information is received from the FAA FSDO, thank you for your patience.

A low altitude “fly-by” is a typical tool & technique used to extract revenge, harass & intimidate communities below. The practice is “common knowledge” and is “well known” in Aerospace, Aviation & Defense circles and can take the form of false “go-arounds” on take-offs or “low approaches” on landing. Of course, when operating any aircraft exceptions occur based on weather and other contributing factors, but many low altitude “fly-by” problems are just excuses to justify poor choices, bad practices and effectively hostile and potentially illegal behavior.

This is especially true if these poor decisions are continually repeated over and over by habitual repeat offenders without any real PIC justification, e.g. weather, traffic in the pattern, etc. which is often the case at MDOT 1d2 “Frat House”. This twisted behavior seemingly endorsed by the MDOT Clown Patrol can also be seen across the United States with alarming frequency.

Safety Spotlight: Fly-bys (html) 02-21-2021- AOPA. Legally, keep in mind that the requirements of FAR 91.119 (minimum safe altitudes) are open for interpretation. The FAA has cited pilots for violating FAR 91.119 after intentional fly-bys, even within an airport environment. NOTE: In some cases, the FAA found explanations that they were just “go-arounds” or “low approaches” to be disingenuous. No surprise there, right?

Ann Arbor Michigan residents fed up with ‘deafening’ M-14 highway noise (html) 08-17-2022 (subscriber) – mlive.com. Cars and trucks travel along the M-14 highway next to Wines Elementary School. Compare this to Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) owned Canton Plymouth Mettetal (1d2) “Frat House” Airstrip.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is Powerless to Control Vengeful Harassment, Intimidation, “Public Nuisance” or “Disturbing the Peace” at MDOT Owned Canton Plymouth Mettetal (1d2) “Frat House” Airstrip:

Truly pathetic, truly sad.

Here are a few more examples of what many would call disingenuous low altitude “go-arounds” or “low approaches” or “low takeoffs” AKA revenge fly-by (low flying harassment) behavior at the MDOT 1d2 “Frat House”:

  • SEE SECTION: Dawn Patrol Flying Club | N1522V | N17177 below.
    • N1522V : video-1, image-1, image-2, image-3. More weekend Low Flying Harassment, Public Nuisance and Disturbing the Peace. 
    • N1522V : image-1, image-2, image-3. Another hour of Low Flying Harassment, Public Nuisance and Disturbing the Peace. One go-round with ADB-S on, then it appears to have failed and was broken for the rest of almost a full hour from 11:23am to 12:15pm! FAA FSDO should work with this airplane to see if it’s working as required by law?
    • N1522V : video-1, image-1, image-2, image-3, video-2, image-1. 
    • N17177: 06-05-2022 disingenuous low altitude “go-arounds” or “low approaches” or “low takeoffs” AKA revenge fly-by (low flying harassment), video-1,  image-1, image-2, image-3. From 2:32pm thru 2:52pm. 2:37pm, 2:46pm, 2:58pm, 3:02pm (touch-n-go as noted in FA image!), 3:17pm, 3:28pm, 3:37pm, 3:49pm.
    • N17177 : From May 24, 2022 Saturday 11:44pm thru Sunday May 29, 2022 12:33am low flying harassment in the shape of heart (image-1, image-2), how cute, how absolutely juvenile. No wonder the surrounding communities are fed up with these hostile clowns and buffoons after decades of early morning and late night harassment.

  • SEE SECTION Dearborn Flying Club | N5329R below
  • N26936 : video-1, image-1, image-2. First few very low-flying go-rounds N26396 did not appear on FlightAware or ADS-B Exchange. ADS-B malfunctioning, misconfigured, broken or turned off, something was wrong.  Finally appeared, Shorter & shorter go-rounds, more desperate, more angry hostile, lower and lower. After tenth or eleventh go-round N26936 disappeared until the next ‘mission’. Nothing, no history on Flight Aware, ADS-B malfunctioning, misconfigured, broken or turned off, no history, untraceable, unreportable low flying harassment.
  • N20873 : video-1, image-1, image-2, image-3. SEE SECTION MANG Aero Flying Club | N20873 below. NOTE: the video is almost completely dark, but the noise certainly conveys what surrounding communities endure. N20873 flew from Put-in-Bay Airport (3W2) Ohio to Canton-Plymouth Mettetal (1d2) at 9:47pm  to “disturb the peace” and practice habitual “public nuisance” maneuver ‘missions’. Then flew 1d2 home to Willow Run (KYIP). Pathetic performance from fine upstanding community pariah.

  • Miscellaneous MDOT Enabled & Protected disingenuous low altitude “go-arounds” or “low approaches” or “low takeoffs” AKA revenge fly-by (low flying harassment)
  • N556UH, video-1, image-1, image-2. It’s surrealistic, right here in Canton Township Michigan, houses vibrating & shaking (helicopter rotorcraft pilots know exactly how to maximize the effect) similar to the classic helicopter scene out of the Vietnam Era movie: APOCALYPSE NOW (video) – Ride of the Valkyries (1979) Francis Ford Coppola – YouTube.

Here is current Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) guidance for Canton-Plymouth Mettetal (1d2) airstrip CURRENT (pdf) (NOTE: second page “Recommended Noise Abatement Procedures” have been removed, here is ORIGINAL (pdf).

NOTE: Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) removed all “Recommended Noise Abatement Procedures” in a sneaky vengeful nasty Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) way only MDOT can do.

Also NOTE common matching names found on the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulation (LARA) for registered entity “Ford Eagles LARA“:

NOTE: the President and Treasurer of the Ford Eagles [Flying Club], a registered “Pleasure, Recreational, or Social Club” are appointed and approved by MDOT as Administrators of the MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” Canton-Plymouth Mettetal 1d2 airstrip! Something just doesn’t seem right. Who is paying for the phones, hours worked, insurance, D/N seem to be any clear separation of duties for a property owned and operated by the State of Michigan. It’s NOT just the appearance of impropriety, but actual impropriety, conflict of interest, favoritism, special dispensation, preferential treatment, cronyism, etc. These clown don’t care about and have not protected the community ever!

Special Interests & Industry Lobbyists are In Charge & Making Critical Decisions on Behalf of the State of Michigan Increasing State of Michigan Liability Risks

Special Interests & Industry Lobbyists are In Charge & Making Critical Decisions on Behalf of the State of Michigan Increasing State of Michigan Liability Risks with Unknown Consequences. It’s quite well known, Landlords never evict or even discipline themselves. Michigan Courts had to intervene with other “Frat House” operations for the same reasons:

When the ‘regular’ MDOT appointed ‘grounds keeper’ leaves the MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” around ~1:30pm when he’s even there, decision making shifts to the back-up or Assistant Manger(s) to ‘make the tough calls’ leaving the State of Michigan open to all kinds of unknown, unidentified, unnecessary legal risks. These collective clowns have been running ‘rough shod’ over surrounding communities for almost 50 years!

  • Everyone knows that you can’t have “Frat House” members also be “Frat House” Managers or Assistant Managers, it just doesn’t work and defies logic!

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is the negation of the principles and commitments that protect us all, it is everyone’s business and in their own best interest to expose & stop MDOT immediately for future generations.

Watchdog: FAA Registry Open to Fraud, Abuse (html) 03-25-2020 | Business Aviation News: Aviation International News. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) relies on self-certification of registrants, and a GAO review found that under the process, the agency [FAA] typically does NOT verify applicant identity, ownership, and address information.

Many Michigan registered aircraft use phony addresses, expired corporate or LLC names and addresses or convoluted inaccurate contact information to evade detection and reporting. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) does ZERO enforcement of just about anything visible to the naked eye that anyone can tell of, except “Pancake Breakfasts”, parties and Fly-ins of all sorts, and of course 4-star Executive “Business” Meetings on Mackinac Island at which they excel.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Broken, Malfunctioning Tampering with or Turning Off ADS-B Transponder Problems

NOTE: the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) at Willow Run (KYIP has been contacted regarding the ADS-B transponder problems described at Canton Plymouth Mettetal 1d2 on this web site. Clarifications and updates will be provided as information is received from the FAA FSDO, thank you for your patience.

ADS-B: Broken, Malfunctioning, Misconfigured, Tampering, Purposely Interfering or Turning Off ADS-B is Illegal, right? It is per the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Hopefully the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) FSDO is aware of these problems in Southeast Michigan?

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Cannot Control Broken, Malfunctioning Tampering with or Turning Off ADS-B Transponder Problems” in SE Michigan.

Daily log shows at least half a dozen aircraft with NO ADS-B every single day! FAA cannot or won’t enforce anything illegal at all!

  • N157RP – Livonia MI, 2006 E-AB, STILLE WAETERS LLC-LARA, 09-10-2022 image-1, No ADS-B, No Callsign, No FlightAware Entry, Broken ADS-B?

The Broken, Malfunctioning Tampering with or Turning Off ADS-B Transponder incidents never seem to stop and go one continually:

N17177 – visual ID aircraft perform several low altitude “go rounds” (image-1) (image-2) and yet N17177 did NOT appear on either ADS-B Exchange or FlightAware. FlightAware states “first seen near Detroit”. FA does not log flight arrival / departure from 1d2. ADS-B: Broken, Malfunctioning, Misconfigured?

N1522V – visual ID aircraft perform several low altitude “go rounds” (image-1) (image-2) (image-3) and yet N1522V does NOT appear on either ADS-B Exchange or Flight Aware. FlightAware states “first seen near Detroit”. FlightAware does not log flight arrival / departure from 1d2. ADS-B: Broken, Malfunctioning, Misconfigured?

N1522V / N17177 & N9846G are habitual performers of disingenuous low altitude “go rounds” or “low approaches” or “low take-offs”. Same with the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) AKA Swivel Chair Patrol AKA Civil Air Pariah, but CAP has their own dedicated page as there is lot to say about those creeps!

Lately, it appears that several aircraft are experiencing broken, malfunctioning or misconfigured ADS-B hardware too (1d2-no callsign), (ARB-no callsign) (YIP-no-callsign) including aircraft from ARB, YIP and elsewhere are having transponder problems when using MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” as well:

  • Standard Canton Plymouth Mettetal 1d2 “Frat House” – No Callsign, broken, misconfigured, or tampered, or turned-off (image). This is “Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)”, just turn off ADS-B as of May 2022 at 1d2 to avoid detection & reporting to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) who is helpless to control these Clowns.
  • N20873 (YIP) (MANG Aero Flying Club) 04-17-2022. ADS-B: Broken, Malfunctioning, Misconfigured?
  • N2893L (1d2) 03-05-2022, 03-20-2022, 04-02-2022, 04-10-2022, 04-17-2022. ADS-B: Broken, Malfunctioning, Misconfigured?
  • N99RL (ARB) 02-23-2022, 02-24-2022, 03-09-2022, 03-29-2022. ADS-B: Broken, Malfunctioning, Misconfigured?
  • N110PF (YIP) (The University of Detroit Flying Club Inc.) 04-10-2022. ADS-B: Broken, Malfunctioning, Misconfigured?

There was a “Special Interest” & “Industry Lobbyist” Event on Saturday April 23, 2022 from 7:30am to 11:30pm where additional aircraft also seem to be experiencing broken, malfunctioning or misconfigured ADS-B hardware too:

  • N201WG video-1 image-1 image-2 (VLL) 04-23-2022. Doesn’t show on FlightAware as departure or arrival at 1d2 or VLL. Misconfigured, broken or malfunctioning ADS-B?
  • N237DJ (image-1). Doesn’t show as arrival or departure at 1d2, MI79, YIP or anywhere else either. ADS-B: Broken, Malfunctioning, Misconfigured? Again 05-05-2022 6:43pm, keeps happening over and over!
  • No callsign (image-1). Misconfigured, broken or malfunctioning ADS-B?

It’s very odd, there does NOT seem to be issues with MOST other aircraft in the Southeast Michigan area, including ARB, YIP Y47, PTK, etc.

Lately it seems to be Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) at MDOT 1d2 “Frat House”: Aircraft with No ADS-B, malfunctioning or misconfigured (includes itinerant Special Interest & industry Lobbyist pals & cronies). It appears that many of these aircraft need to work with the local FAA FSDO to calibrate, test and ensure proper working configurations and hardware working as required by law:

Nobody ever does anything about the MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” at the Local, County, State or Federal level, it’s a real joke!

Maybe, just maybe all these aircraft and their operators have some sort of “special dispensation” or “clearance” for “Search & Rescue” or “Stealth Mode” or “Military Ops” or other “Sensitive Operations” permissions from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or maybe this is part of growing National trend towards some truly typical nasty vindictive vengeful and potentially illegal activity exemplified by MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” and other protected “Special Interest” + “Industry Lobbyist” members! NOTE: any “low altitude” operations are potentially deadly as most accidents & fatalities occur during the take-off and landing approach phases, obviously no time to be playing silly immature games. Hopefully the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) FSDO is aware and can TRY to control these clowns wherever they may be, sure doesn’t seem like it.

“Disturbing the Peace” and “Public, Private or Nuisance Per Se” Are Prohibited in Michigan Right?

Disturbing the peace, also referred to as breach of the peace, is when a person disturbs peace and tranquility in a public space. Every state has a different law defining what constitutes disturbing the peace and the penalties the offender will face. First check out what the terms mean separately and specifically in Michigan.

What is “Disturbing the Peace” in Michigan?

Just exactly what is “Disturbing the Peace” in Michigan?

The crime of disturbing the peace is a “catch-all” statute in most jurisdictions, including Michigan, that prohibits any disorder in a public space through a person’s actions. The idea is to punish loud and noisy conduct that is not specifically proscribed in another criminal statute.

Disturbing the peace is a criminal offense that covers a range of disruptive conduct. It can involve a person engaging in some sort of disorderly conduct in public such as causing excessive noise, disrupting funeral services, fighting, being drunk in public, or threatening to fight in public. Disturbing the peace basically happens when the person’s conduct, whether physical or verbal, interferes with the public’s right to peace.

Playing music at excessively loud volumes either in the public or within a person’s home so as to disturb others could also constitutes disturbing the peace. This usually occurs when a person plays their stereo equipment at excessive volume in their home or automobile. In addition, playing loud music may be an offense if a city or county enforces a specific noise ordinance.

Most communities will not tolerate noise at all. Another example of behavior amounting to a disturbance of the peace in a public place includes making loud, excessive & unreasonable noises with powered vehicles including automobiles & motorcycles, etc.

  • Dearborn police crack-down on loud cars after noise complaints (html) 04-05-2022 | Detroit Free Press. But as folks go back to the office, some find the sounds obnoxious — and annoying. Shahin said excessive noise, which is open to interpretation, is a Dearborn ordinance violation punishable by a fine, and his aim is to make neighborhoods more peaceful. Officers will be targeting noise, he said, in addition to traffic violations.
  • Dearborn police cracking down on people cars making too much noise (html) 04-06-2022 | WXYZ Detroit. Police say the noise has been a major complaint. “If it’s generally causing a nuisance, if it’s waking people up, if it’s disturbing the peace of the neighborhood, that fits into our ordinance,” Cpl. Dan Bartok said.
  • Dearborn police cracking down on loud exhausts, engine revving (html) 04-05-2022 | WXYZ Detroit. “These are a quality of life concerns, quality of life issues,” said Cpl. Dan Bartok of the Dearborn Police Department.

What is a “Public, Private or Nuisance Per Se” in Michigan?

Just exactly What is a “Public, Private or Nuisance Per Se” in Michigan?

Although nuisance laws vary, they all generally prohibit activity that unnecessarily damages or devalues the life or property of others. When property owners engage in or permit activities creating a nuisance on their property, they may be held liable for any resulting damages.

More specifically, when does a person’s (or entity’s) conduct become so inappropriate that it rises to the level necessary to be legally actionable as a nuisance under Michigan law? You may be surprised to learn that there’s more than one answer to that question. In fact, Michigan actually has three forms of nuisance, each with its own unique application and elements.

Michigan Private Nuisance = MDOT 1d2 “Frat House”

The first form is known by many names, including: private nuisance, common law nuisance, and just plain old nuisance in fact, to name a few. Regardless of what one calls it, this first type of nuisance receives the bulk of attention in most cases and is most common. At its heart, a private nuisance is an act that causes an unreasonable interference with another’s use and enjoyment of his or her property.

However, a “private nuisance” takes on a different character. The concept of a private nuisance evolved over time as a common law doctrine intended to resolve conflicts between neighboring land owners.

The law of “private nuisance” may be a useful common law tool to help ensure that your neighbor’s land use reasonably accommodates yours. In this context, a plausible claim for a private nuisance is established when one can plead and prove facts to show that:

  • You have property rights in the land you are trying to protect,
  • Your neighbor’s property use results in a significant harm to your property use,
  • Your neighbor’s use or conduct is the legal cause of the harm you are suffering, and
  • Your neighbor’s use is either (i) intentional and unreasonable, or (ii) unintentional and otherwise actionable under the rules governing liability for negligent, recklessness, or ultra-hazardous conduct.

This law of private nuisance is not limited to residential property use; it is equally applicable to commercial & industrial property as well.

Michigan Public Nuisance = MDOT 1d2 “Frat House”

The second type of nuisance claim in Michigan is most often referred to as public nuisance. Public nuisance is defined as an unreasonable interference with a common right enjoyed by the general public. The term “unreasonable interference” is the important phrase here and it has been discussed by a number of courts and ultimately held to include conduct that (1) significantly interferes with the public’s health, safety, peace, comfort, or convenience, (2) is prohibited by law, or (3) is known or should have been known by the actor to be of a continuing nature that produces a permanent or long-lasting, significant effect on those rights.

“Unreasonable interference” means that the conduct must be a significant interference with the public’s safety or health, and must adversely affect all or a considerable part of the community.

The property law concept of public nuisances has been around a very long time. These are property uses that threaten the public health, safety and welfare. Common examples involve polluting land or water, harboring dangerous animals, storing dangerous materials, among others. This type of land use threatens a general public interest and can be actionable by civil suits or even criminal prosecution.

Environmental groups have filed numerous suits asserting public nuisance claims against parties they alleged caused or contributed to environmental pollution. Noise pollution, excessive noise volumes, and strong noxious odors have as also been the subject of public nuisance claims.

The nuisance can be considered “public” because it “affects at the same time an entire community or neighborhood, or any considerable number of persons, although the extent of the annoyance or damage inflicted upon the individuals may be unequal.”

Michigan Nuisance Per Se = MDOT 1d2 “Frat House”

Finally, Michigan also has a specialized form of nuisance known as a nuisance per se. A nuisance per se is an act, occupation, or structure which is a nuisance at all times and under any circumstances, regardless of location or surroundings. On its face, this may sound like something that could envelope a great many things, but in reality, it has been almost exclusively applied (with a few exceptions) where some violation of a particular law is present. Perhaps the most common situation faced by Michigan Courts is where an act, occupation, or structure violates a local zoning ordinance. For example, the MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” is zoned industrial and always has been and is considered by many to be a direct violation of local zoning ordinances ignored, overridden and swept under the rug by MDOT long ago.

An oft-quoted line from one Michigan Supreme Court opinion described nuisance as “the great grab bag, the dust bin, of the law” (pdf). But at a foundational level, nuisance is just a broad legal theory intended to do one thing; protect property rights against unreasonable interference.

  • Judge orders owner to demolish Packard plant in Detroit (html) 04-07-2022 – mlive.com. A judge has ordered the demolition of the deteriorating Packard auto plant in Detroit, finding that it had become a public nuisance. The judge declared the site: “a public nuisance which interfere with common rights enjoyed by the general public by significantly threatening the public’s health, safety and welfare.”

Summary – MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” = “Disturbing the Peace” and “Public, Private & Nuisance Per Se”

The State of Michigan and everyone in it appears to be helpless and can do NOTHING to protect citizens as the MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” exploits the fact that loud aircraft appear to be allowed and protected no matter how much they “Disturb the Peace” and present a “Public, Private or Nuisance Per Se”. There is NO protection from the MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” Clown Patrol or anywhere else in Michigan for that matter. In other words:

  • MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” = “Disturbing the Peace”
  • MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” = “Private Nuisance”
  • MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” = “Public Nuisance”
  • MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” = “Nuisance Per Se”

and nobody can do anything about it!

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is the negation of the principles and commitments that protect us all, it is everyone’s business and in their own best interest to expose & stop MDOT immediately for future generations.

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is ONLY & ALL About “Pleasure, Recreational, or Social Club” Activities PERIOD!

MDOT only seems concerned with promoting and advertising Special Interest & Industry Lobbyist events including fly-in Boondoggles, Picnics & Pancake Breakfast Carnivals with expanded parking, free aircraft & helicopter rides or sponsoring or assisting “Community Outreach” for Special Interests & Industry Lobbyists including Commercial & Business entities that utilize the MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” for personal or financial gain all at taxpayer’s Financial, Health, Safety and Welfare expense.

NOTE: Absolutely NOBODY in the surrounding communities have ever requested any MDOT “Community Outreach” except the MDOT Clown Patrol and 1d2 “Frat House” members and their families themselves. MDOT repeats this gibberish on a regular basis with the singular focus seems apparently to “coddle” Special Interests & Industry Lobbyists including “Pleasure, Recreational, or Social Club” activities utilizing Personal Hobby Sport, Recreational, Social Entertainment Venue un-sustainable non-ecofriendly Flying Junk Piles (FJPs) that have absolutely nothing to do with:

  • Real transportation needs, real taxes, real education, real jobs or the real workforce of the future
  • Creators, makers, innovators and inventors of the future
  • Technology, Circular Manufacturing & Sustainability, Mobility Services or any known non-trivial Value Network(s) of Tomorrow of any kind

MDOT is all about Convenience, Saving Commercial Business Time & Money, and Saving Personal Time & Money for Special Interests, Industry Lobbyists and Cronies, period.

It should be abundantly clear nobody needs or requires any of the Outdated Irrelevant Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Clown Patrol Dolts, Buffoons & Award Winning ShitHeels plus their Special Interest & Industry Lobbyist Clowns & Extremists for the future of Aviation & Aerospace.

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is the negation of the principles and commitments that protect us all, it is everyone’s business and in their own best interest to expose & stop MDOT immediately for future generations.

It’s way past time for the State of Michigan to “Fix the damn MDOT!”

So, what Are Pilots, Students, Instructors and Aviation Professionals REALLY Saying About MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” Canton-Plymouth Mettetal 1d2 Airstrip?

Someone has it out for 1D2. Correction: Everyone Has It Out for 1d2 for the last 50 Years!

Here are a few summaries from a Reddit Post “Someone has it out for 1D2… (html) : flying”:

  • What a piece of shit. What a complete shitbag. The site reads like a conspiracy theorists haven. What a coward.
  • There’s already a non typical pattern (which is honestly a little sketchy) . . .
  • NOTE: Although I agree with most of the comments on this thread, I also feel like inaction by GA in general hasn’t helped. 100LL is a health hazard. Most General Aviation companies seem happy to just leave things as they are, with the vague hope that the FAA will approve a suitable alternative soon. The vast majority of new certified single-engine piston aircraft still rely on 100LL; that seems like an industry with its head in the sand to me.
  • NOTE: Likewise, very little seems to be being done to reduce aircraft noise. The design of modern aircraft should adapt to modern conditions – flying in or out of a lot of airports nowadays causes a fair bit of noise pollution for literally thousands of people. Is a modern C172 any quieter than a 1960s one? Why not?
  • NOTE: A modern day 172 is a 1960’s 172 for the most part. Those airplanes are still flying, and the new ones haven’t changed that much. Fucking Bonanzas [twin engine] are actually loud though. Noise abatement procedures are a thing. And modern jets do take noise reduction into consideration.
  • I haven’t done a noise comparison, but a 60s 172 is likely louder (or would be perceived that way) because of the extra two cylinders and corresponding higher pitch of the Continental O-300. A new C172 certainly isn’t quieter than any made after the switch to the O-320.
  • Also the blog is the ramblings of an absolutely crazy person.
  • Sounds like someone needs to be DDOS’s… [typical ignorant clownish buffoonish touch, encouraging felonious behavior, see refs below]
  • I wish nothing but the very worst for this NIMBY piece of shit.
  • etc.

The Negative Aviation Impacts seem CLEAR to surrounding densely populated neighborhoods with many nearby schools, especially to parents and pregnant women NOT just “absolutely crazy people shitbag conspiracy theorist coward NIMBY pieces of shit!” It’s pretty clear these hostile clowns cannot read or recognize medical, scientific, and technological facts or evidence and are stuck with “Flying Junk Piles” ready for disposal that may explain the anger / denial.

BTW: It’s clear these idiots don’t even know how to use the acronym NIMBY correctly. The local community are NOT the NIMBYs “Not In My Backyard” at all, the local community already has MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” buffoons IN our backyards and are sick & tired of 50 years of toxic MDOT Clown Patrol Special Interest and Industry Lobbyist toxic Negative Aviation Impacts! Truly a bunch of perpetual first-class crybaby ShitHeels, seems to run in families, now inherited by increasingly elite, entitled, petulant narcissist offspring. Truly pathetic. Don’t go away mad, but just go away like smoking & second-hand smoke!

Learning to fly at uncontrolled airport, short runway (SE Michigan). We can Do Whatever We Want Whenever We Want to Save Time & Money!

Here are a few summaries from another Reddit Post “Learning to fly at uncontrolled airport, short runway (SE Michigan) (html) : flying”:

Which airport should I learn out of? The closest to me is Mettetal (1D2), an uncontrolled airport with a 2300ft runway. It really only has Cessna 152s available, as far as I can tell. Being only 15 minutes away, it would be a convenient option.

The other options would be Ann Arbor (ARB) and Willow Run (YIP). These would be 15-20 minutes further away, with ATC and more CFIs to choose from.

Is there any downside to learning at an uncontrolled airport? I’m concerned it might make my ATC communication comfort level pretty low. What about with a short runway or being limited to only 152? Or should I just stick with the closest one, since that would maximize the odds I can get to the airport to practice and learn?

  • NOTE: The really bad part of 1D2 is every weekend warrior on a nice Saturday is out, not listening, entering patterns however they like and cutting off other traffic. [truly Out of Control (OOC)]
  • Learning at an uncontrolled field offers you a lot more patterns per hour and, ultimately, per dollar. Pattern count is what you care about at this stage in your path.
  • You’ll actually save a little bit of money learning at an uncontrolled airport
  • I learned at a very busy Class D in SoCal with a school that didn’t allow touch and goes. The amount of time and money that this can waste is really incredible. I would often taxi back and be number 4 or 5 in sequence. Excellent for the flight school’s Hobbs billing, terrible for the student. I still feel ripped off to this day.
  • I’d build on your advice to say that you might experience a different kind of stress at a busy uncontrolled field. People cutting in the pattern, not on ctaf, using the wrong pattern, cutting over the field near pattern altitude, pissing matches on which direction the wind favors, loitering on the runway, trying to squeeze in a takeoff in front of you when you’re on very short final.
  • But it’s night and day cost wise vs a busy controlled field. I remember once paying $400 for a couple of hours of cherokee dual time that netted two laps in the pattern at PNE.
  • The advantages of a small airport is most of your Hobbs time will be in the air. You’ll taxi and sit very little compared to a larger airport. Some airports will take 3-5 tenths just to get to the active. Ultimately you should solo and get your PPL in much fewer hours, saving quite a bit of money.
  • I can’t tell you how many hours were wasted holding short, waiting (often in line) for take-off clearance. Then, often, it was so busy we were denied closed pattern work.
  • At the small airport I was able to waste less time on the ground (read more hours in the air and less total time)
  • I also prefer uncontrolled airports because I can just taxi to the runway and go.
  • Learning at a small strip was an advantage, as any other airport felt huge.
  • That said I now spend a bulk of my time flying into and out of uncontrolled airports because it is almost always WAY cheaper to fly into them vs. controlled airports.
  • I should add a caveat: I hatereally busy uncontrolled airports – they still make me nervous. 
  • At a non-towered airport the pilots in the pattern control the flow cooperatively, and if you screw up the procedures there you can kill someone.
  • This will save a LOT of money and time off your PPL. If you let your CFI give you ground school it will add up fast! Only after I got my Sport pilot rating did I find out that my local CC had a complete class , books and all for about $300.00 .
  • The untowered airport is nice because you can get a lot of patterns done. On the private grass strip, I could get 10 landings done in an hour. 
  • The only drawback to the runway length is that it’s too short for a touch and go (or stop and go), so a lot of time is wasted on taxi back. I think 4000’ would be the sweet spot.
  • . . . but the cost to get there is so excessive. Not just in idling while you wait for clearance and ground to process you, but in it taking so many more flights overall because the environment is overwhelming and because occasionally entire lessons just turn into complete wastes because ATC fucks you over.
  • etc.

Obviously the important topics & priorities are only about saving personal time & money, period. Let’s not forget we’re talking about the MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” which is for “Pleasure, Recreational, or Social Clubs” at a Personal Hobby Sport, Recreational, Social Entertainment Venue and certainly nothing more. The priorities of the  MDOT 1d2 Frat House Village  Idiots and Buffoons ARE abundantly clear, and it’s NOT protecting densely populated neighborhoods surrounding many schools, pregnant women, babies, school children or the elderly.

See Someone has it out for 1D2… : flying (html) in the Reddit Flying Community of SMEs including 193k pilots, students, instructors and aviation professionals that notes that “Fucking Bonanzas are actually loud though”, and  really do drown out an outdoor conversation! BTW: try to ignore the standard hostile violent comments and recommendations for committing DDoS related felonies as standard behavior from many of the clowns and wannabe’s. They seem to be angry they’re stuck with “Flying Junk Piles” FJPs made entirely of decades old outdated irrelevant “dead end” toxic technologies.

MDOT 1d2 “Frat House” Technical Consultants for Hollywood Movie Paramount JackAss Forever

Jackass Forever – Watch Movie on Paramount Plus (html). Older and grayer but not the wiser, Johnny Knoxville and the gang are back for another outrageous round of stunts and bad ideas. With new friends and loads of celebrity guest stars, the crew take pranks to ridiculous lengths where absolutely no one is safe and all senses are frayed. From exploding port-a-potties to hockey pucks to the nuts and performing magic for an unamused bull, Jackass Forever is a hilarious roller coaster ride like you’ve never experienced before.

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Clown Patrol was technical consultant for the “Aerial Asset” pictured and the complex flying maneuvers. It’s important to note that no animals were harmed by MDOT in the making of this movie, as for harming any other people including vulnerable populations, well, there is “No Threat” we’re told by MDOT.

Above the Law, Really?

Canton Plymouth Mettetal 1d2 clowns really believe they are “above the law” and can do whatever they want whenever they want and continue to give the surrounding communities the big middle finger!

The State of Michigan (SoM), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and of course the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) does not seem to care or can’t control anything at this airstrip. What a complete waste of taxpayer dollars. There is zero sense of urgency, Michigan residents deserve better!

Some people don’t know what ‘flybys’ are, and some don’t believe that clowns at Unattended Airstrips like  Canton Plymouth Mettetal 1d2 use this childish practice.

Blatant Conflict of Interest: Special Interest & Industry Lobbyist MDOT Assistant Airport Managers

Continuing Revenge Flybys at Canton Plymouth Mettetal 1d2 Airport

Breaking News Flash  – Canton Township, Michigan August 2020: Courageous, Dedicated & Skilled Michigan aviators but really wannabes quell senior citizen revolt by severely startling wheelchair bound elderly 80 & 90 year old’s recovering at local retirement and rehabilitation homes, along with local neighborhood pregnant moms, families with school children, pushing strollers, walking their dogs with bizarre repeated aerial displays going round in little circles (html) all day long. Everyone is trembling, with laughter that is, after all this is quite an unseen before spectacle of macho air power & superiority! This strange toxic behavior is so predictable, laughable, basically a pathetic plea for attention, from somebody, anybody.

Surrounding communities are wondering how this weird malignant behavior is going to change community Health, Safety and Welfare concerns going forward. Is this really how Pure Michigan is going to attract necessary talent for Michigan to ever recover allowing Community Pariah & Leaded 100LL Aviation Fuel based flying Rodeo Clowns free reign at MDOT owned & operated uncontrolled airstrips such as 1d2 and beyond?

Once informed with the true medical, scientific, and technological facts & information regarding Tetraethyl Lead (TEL) & Ethylene Dibromide (EDB) poisoning from Leaded 100LL Aviation Fuel are exposed, NOBODY, including those in any technical community, such as librarians, teachers, engineers, geologists, biologists, police, firefighters, doctors, nurses, technicians, software developers, students, professors, and scientists, want to invest, live, raise a family, work, play, or shop anywhere near out of control MDOT and their Cronies uncontrolled systemic lead & chemical contamination and poisoning scattered across the entire State of Michigan.

Michigan pilot gives a literal ‘F U’ to governor Gretchen Whitmer over coronavirus lockdown

Flight path literally curses Michigan governor over coronavirus lockdown, May 1, 2020 (html) | New York Post. This frustrated Michigan pilot gives a literal flying you-know-what about his States governor. “I don’t need the government to wipe my tushie every two minutes.” This appears to be typical behavior for many clowns, including MDOT, in Michigan: “Let me know what the problems are going to be and let me know what the ramifications are; I’m responsible for myself.” Of course these clowns want everyone else to pay for Hobby, Sport, Recreational non-sense.

MDOT Aviation at its finest!

Pilot spells out ‘FU’ to Governor Gretchen Whitmer over skies of Michigan, 2 May 2020 (html) | Daily Mail Online. An angry Michigan pilot has taken to the skies over Michigan to chart a flight path spelling out ‘FU’ – a crude message he says is directed at Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Many Michiganders are sure his family must be so proud of the contribution to further Michigan aviation.

First thing, get the State owned $35k lawnmower stuck in the mud. Second thing, burn out the State owned lawnmower engine. Third thing, get the State owned $200k CAT Front End Loader (FEL) to pull the State owned $35k lawnmower out of the mud. Fourth thing, illegally operate the State owned $200k CAT FEL with out proper Michigan LARA Heavy Equipment Operator certification & permits and then illegally operate the State owned CAT FEL on Public Roads during rush hour traffic! You can’t even make this stuff up! Michigan citizens are sick, tired & completely fed up with paying for this pure stupidity,  ignorance and complete waste of Michigan taxpayer money. Time to thank MDOT yet again for more of their continuing never ending Clown saga at Canton Plymouth Mettetal 1d2 airport.

How Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Aviation Works in Michigan

Michigan Congressional Delegation Lawmakers, want Delta’s request to stop Michigan flights grounded (html) | Detroit News – Airline argues that the few who are flying can drive to airports less than 75 miles away: Flint passengers can drive to Detroit, and those from Lansing and Kalamazoo can drive to Grand Rapids.

Congressional Research Service (html) – R44176 – Essential Air Service (EAS), Updated December 19, 2018 (pdf). The 70-Mile Rule and Measures to Shrink the Program. Over the years, Congress has sought to limit the scope of the EAS program, mostly by eliminating subsidy support for communities within a reasonable driving distance of a major hub airport and by imposing a cap on the per-passenger subsidy. Although numerous communities have been removed from the program, these efforts have generally failed to contain overall spending on EAS.

The Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2000 prohibited DOT from subsidizing carriers that provide EAS service to communities in the 48 states plus Puerto Rico that are located fewer than 70 highway miles from the nearest large or medium hub airport.

These measures are meant to protect Air Carriers AND taxpayers. Taxpayers ultimately get stuck footing the bill at the Local, State, and Federal level by design.

BTW: This would eliminate large amounts of Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) taxpayer waste for phony, misleading and fraudulent justification & support for airports & airstrips on life support that are absolutely NO LONGER required, and really never have been! Michigan taxpayers have been duped long enough.

The Wealthy at Canton Plymouth Mettetal 1d2 should have been using Willow Run (YIP) which is only seven miles away. MDOT has been duplicating facilities at 1d2 for over 25 years wasting taxpayer money at a staggering rate hidden from public view which will add to the largest total waste of taxpayer money in the History of Michigan!

Just remind yourself how messed things are and do a search using either major search engine:  “mdot lead poisoning” (html) – Google Search or “mdot lead poisoning” (html) – Bing. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) *IS* synonymous with “Lead Poisoning” period!

The pilot told officials he recalled “quickly moving” the helicopter back to the right to avoid the birds, and that it was the last action he could remember. Police and fire officials found the helicopter on its side near the 5000 block of Pontiac Trail.

Houston area pilot warned not to fly plane before fatal Detroit crash, Aug. 1, 2020 (html) | Detroit News. A Texas pilot was warned three times not to fly his airplane before it crashed in a Detroit neighborhood in 2018, killing him and his wife and severely injuring his son. The factual report by the National Transportation Safety Board also says the pilot reported running out of fuel while struggling to get his landing gear down as the single-engine Cessna P210N approached Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport on June 24. “The pilot told the mechanic that he had just purchased the airplane and that he could not afford to overhaul the engine,” the report states. “The mechanic then placed a red ‘Do Not Fly’ placard on the pilot-side yoke.” According to the report, a couple of weeks later, Boaz came back with another oil filter for the mechanic to inspect and told him he had “looked up on the internet” how to remove metal from an engine by flushing it with diesel fuel.” While there was no metal in the filter, “the mechanic again told the pilot that he should not fly the airplane until the engine had been overhauled.”

Yet another case of Maintenance, Airworthiness and Certification by internet consensus, happens all the time, especially by clowns at unsupervised uncontrolled airstrips like Canton Plymouth Mettetal 1d2.

Somebody made a mistake [spelling “Grand Rapids”] and it didn’t get caught until it was on a post,” an MDOT representative dressed as a Clown close to matter said.

Another Mysterious, Sad & Tragic Michigan Experimental Amateur Built (E-AB) AKA Home Built Aircraft Fatal Crash

Zeeland airplane crash leads to mystery surrounding pilot’s death (html) 07-03-2022 | Detroit News. Local and federal medical officials came to conflicting conclusions on what caused the death of a west Michigan pilot whose plane crashed near Ottawa Executive Airport in 2020. The pilot, 61, and his wife, 59, died on Sept. 19, 2020, as the Van’s RV-9 kit [E-AB AKA Home built] aircraft he was piloting crashed in a Zeeland Township field shortly after takeoff. But did the pilot die from injuries sustained in the accident or did a coronary artery disease event cause an incapacitation and crash? NTSB said was his first night flight in the aircraft. He also had not had a night landing in about five years, the report said.

Ottawa County Michigan and U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) medical officials, Defense Health Agency (DHA), disagree according to a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report on the probable cause that was dated June 21.

The NTSB found the probable cause of the crash was pilot failure to maintain airspeed, which resulted in too little airflow over the wings to keep the plane aloft, known as an aerodynamic stall. Additionally pilot lack of experience flying at night probably was a contributing factor. Additionally, a systems failure involving the amateur (avionics) repair provides a reasonable alternate explanation for the pilot’s attempted return.

An examiner with the U.S. Armed Forces Medical Examiner System (AFMES) also came to the conclusion that [sadly] “the pilot’s cause of death was multiple injuries due to an aircraft mishap and that his manner of death was accident” after reviewing the autopsy report for the NTSB.

Mysterious, Sad & Tragic Whitehall Michigan Fatal Aircraft Crash into 180 Foot Water Tower

Miraculously missed school bleachers by several feet!

NTSB issues final report on Whitehall Michigan water tower crash (html) 03-12-2022 | Detroit News. The NTSB could not determine why the pilot of a plane that crashed into a Whitehall water tower in 2019 was flying below minimum safe altitudes. Witnesses said the plane made no apparent attempt to veer away from the white 180-foot structure. The NTSB report dated March 4 could not determine “the reasons that the pilot operated the airplane over a congested area at a low altitude and failed to avoid the water tower could not be determined based on the available evidence for this investigation.”

The pilot had taken an antidepressant and an antihistamine that can cause drowsiness in his system at the time of the crash, according to toxicology reports. The FAA had no record that the pilot renewed his medical certificate since his last exam more than 20 years earlier, according to the NTSB factual report issued Feb. 16. Pilots over 40 are required to renew a third class medical every 24 months. The FAA also requires pilots using antidepressants to have a special issuance medical certificate. The pilot died when his Cessna 150 single-engine plane hit the tower very close to the school district’s athletic fields.

How Old is TOO Old to Pilot a Helicopter? What’s Wrong with This Picture? Another Sad & Tragic Fatal Helicopter Crash That Seem to be Happening ALL the Time with Increasing Frequency!

How old is too old to pilot a helicopter? Another fatal helicopter crash puts spotlight on age (html) 07-03-2022 – Healthy Duck. When it comes to flying helicopters, how many years are considered “well beyond” the age a pilot should think about letting someone else do the flying, a former managing director of the National Transportation Safety Board. Many questioned whether a pilot this old should have even been in the cockpit when he crashed a Eurocopter EC130.

Helicopters Are Way More Complex Than Planes Especially Primitive Ancient Flying Junk Piles (FJPs)

Many private pilots believe they should keep their licenses until they fail a medical check, but others question the stringency of those exams.  It certainly does not see to protect occupants or anyone on the ground or in densely populated neighborhoods or anyone attending nearby schools.

Fatal EC130B4 Water Impact in the Tennessee River after “Entry to VRS” Vortex Ring State (VRS) Say NTSB (html) 07-02-2022 – Aerossurance. August 2020 a privatelyowned  Airbus –  EC130B4 –  N55GJ impacted the Tennessee River near Knoxville, Tennessee.

How old is too old to pilot a helicopter? Pilot’s fatal crash puts spotlight on age (html) 07-03-2022 – The CTP Times. The pilots statement also revealed his brother took over the controls for about 20 minutes during the flight but was not in control in the moments leading up to the crash. While the brother had a pilot’s license, he was not certified to fly helicopters. Several very negative comments included:

  • A rich guy with an expensive toy that was beyond his skill level. Too bad about the helicopter.
  • At 86 years of age, he should not have been in the pilot’s seat!  Dexterity and reflexes are affected by age.  Leave the flying to the ones who are capable.
  • Seems like there are constant crashes in fixed wing aircraft all over the USA with few survivors. I wonder whether this may be lack of continued practice, panic or poor maintenance? I suspect that most (?) of the time the pilot just goes flying occasionally, is rusty in emergency procedures, gets into dangerous situation and may panic or makes a wrong choice and crashes.
  • 86 year old’s shouldn’t be flying or driving!
  • My father, a former senior jumbo jet captain, always said that a helicopter is just a flying accident waiting to happen.
  • There is a reason why the airlines have a mandatory retirement age of 65 for pilots. Yes I know pilots need to renew their medical certificate at least every couple years, but we all know that [FAA] exam is a joke. I am 53 and I gave up my license many years ago. It was hard to do but I KNEW it was the right and SAFE thing to do.
  • He was 86 and flying a copter that he couldn’t handle?  What could possibly go wrong,… did.

United States President Hustled to Secure Location After Cessna 172 Enters Restricted Airspace Near Home as Two F15 Military Jets & MH-65 Helicopter Intercept

  • Bidens briefly moved to secure location after plane entered restricted airspace near beach house (html) 06-04-2022 – CBS News.

A small private single-engine Cessna 172 aircraft entered restricted air space with no flight plan and WITHOUT communicating with air traffic control, according to North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).

The Cessna was “intercepted” by two F-15 fighter jets and an MH-65 helicopter off the Cape May coastline, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said. Hundreds of onlookers gathered around the now temporarily Secure & Fortified Fire Station where US President & Family was evacuated to about five blocks from nearby home because Secret Service stopped all pedestrians and traffic.

“The aircraft was immediately escorted out of the restricted airspace. Preliminary investigation reveals the pilot was NOT on the proper radio channel, was NOT following the NOTAMS (Notice to Airmen) that had been filed and was NOT following published flight guidance,” the Secret Service said.

Federal regulations require pilots to check for flight restrictions along their route before taking off and in this incident included a 10-mile radius no-fly zone contained with a 30-mile restricted zone, duh?

Visual Flight Rule (VFR) Navigation Charts

The Difference Between VFR vs IFR (html) – Thrust Flight. VFR stands for Visual Flight Rules, and IFR stands for Instrument Flight Rules. VFR and IFR are the two different sets of rules for piloting an aircraft. Pilots use these terms in all sorts of ways, from the type of airplane they’re operating to the weather at the airport.

VFR Navigation Charts. Sectional Aeronautical Charts. Sectional Charts are designed for visual navigation of slow to medium speed aircraft. The topographic information consists of contour lines, shaded relief, drainage patterns, and an extensive selection of visual checkpoints and landmarks used for flight under VFR. Cultural features include cities and towns, roads, railroads, and other distinct landmarks.

Symbols shown are for World Aeronautical Charts (WAC), Sectional aeronautical charts and Terminal Area Charts (TAC). When a symbol is different on any VFR chart series, it will be annotated thus: WAC or Not shown on WAC.

VFR charts display aeronautical information with sufficient topographic detail to facilitate air navigation through the use of a unique color scheme, layer tinting, and shaded relief.

AC 61-98D – Currency Requirements and Guidance for the Flight Review and Instrument Proficiency Check – Document Information

Every 24 calendar months (2 years) a pilot must pass a flight review to retain the privileges of his or her certificate.  According to AC 61-98D, “The flight review is not a test or check ride, but an instructional service designed to assess a pilot’s knowledge and skills.” A flight review consists of at least one hour of ground instruction and one hour of flight instruction.  Most people should plan to schedule at least three hours to include time for paperwork and briefings.  Although it is impossible to “fail” a flight review, pilots will occasionally require additional training.

This advisory circular (AC) provides information for certificated pilots and flight instructors to use in complying with the flight review required by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 61, § 61.56 and the recent flight experience requirements of § 61.57.
