A 152 can't go very fast, it could barely scratch the paint off a building, and LA controllers are fantastic provided he could get off the ground...they would watch this little slow dot on the radar go where it wanted and vector planes around till he crashed or ran out of gas.
If they decided to steal my 172, I think they'd try somebody else's. I have padlocked chocks, a throttle lock and the battery goes home with me to be trickle charged for the next flight.
Douglas: You are correct. Checking on that, I found that a log book entry should be made each time the battery is removed. I thought you were saying that pulling the battery is not owner allowed. I will get my maintenance logbook out and make the entries. Thanks
Just trying to help. I have seen a lot of owners and or pilots do things without log entries and or w/b changes once you go down that path it can get out of control quickly.
The story says that he a former flight student of the school where he tried to still the plane....well good job dummy you've just insured that you may never fly a real plane again and considering that you attempted to commit a federal crime a flight sim either considering that I know of no jails that have them......you big dummy....oh yeah you are probably going to on the no fly-list now; hope you like Grayhound
Sounds more like he was stupid enough not to take all of the tie downs off, its a tie down and unless it had a padlock on it the thing was not a anti theft device. But hey the person who put the story in here probably doesent even know what they are anyway.
