An accident that could have been averted.

I was at the meet and there was a Impound but it still came down to human error... Best advise double check the pin when you get it with your transmitter..

  Same here in district 2. Most of us CDs in D2 also have the pilots write their channel number on the AMA entrant form next to their name as well as having the info on the contest entry form. We have for the most part gone to allowing pilots to keep their transmitters when there is no conflict. We always impound those that do have a conflict.
  Conflicts are also announced at the pilots meeting so every-one knows who they are.

  However, it is still the pilots responsibility to make sure he KNOWS the frequency he is using and has the proper pin. No system or impound can account for the flyer who has the ability to change frequency.
