Would you explain this more, please? I can't quite visualize what that means, or what the controllers said that makes the difference between "clearing" and "pulsing them off."
Although not at Sun and fun a similar departure I made a few years back had the controllers bringing 6 planes onto the runway in two rows of three abreast. Then he motioned for the first one on the right to go followed a few seconds later by the middle then the left plane. A few moments later the second row started followed suit. While this was happening, the next 6 planes were coming up to the line. I found myself in the middle with a Champ on my right and a Lancair on my left. There was a croswswind and I was worried about the Champ drifting toward me and not having anywhere to go because of the Lancair. Seconds after takeoff the Lancair rocketed by me and I rocketed by the Champ. Cheers: Paul N1431A KPLU
