I keep seeing posts that say "just read 9X pages". Why do I only have 24 pages? I must real the other 70+ pages!

Depends how many posts per page you elected to have displayed.

I have 20 posts per page, so only 49 pages. "only"


That's why if you want to cite a post, make sure to link to the post number, not tell someone "back on page 4". ;)

That's kind of a let down. I was hoping to have 70 more pages of reading. I started at 10pm last night, read till 5am, slept till 8am, took a microeconomics final, and then came home to finish up. Now what do I have to fill up the rest of my day? Sure I could study for my pvt ground stage check but these ATC transmissions are a little more intriguing.

Cannot allow this great thread to die. Besides 2012 may be the last year it's up anyways.....:p

Heard just before switching to tower frequency:

Approach Control: Southwest 123, are you on the arrival?
SW123: Uhh, well we were given direct XYZ and then join the arrival from there.
Appch: Ok.....(pause) So are you direct XYZ at this time?
SW: Yeah, uhhh, we're uhh direct XYZ.
Appch: Ok...well XYZ is 10 miles east of you.
(pause)
SW: Uhh, well, we just passed XYZ.
Appch: Nooo, XYZ is 10 east of you.

(long pause)
Unknown transmitter: D'oh!!!!

You could hear Appch trying to key up but cutting off with laughter in the background.

best UA premier benefit
 

I was in a Mooney at 6500ft VFR just having passed PVD... A UA flight must have taken off just behind me on the same heading...

PVD Approach: UA123, maintain 6000, traffic is a Mooney 11 o'clock, three miles, VFR at 6500

UA123: maintain 6000, traffic in sight. hey, Mooney, your tail is on backwards. united123.

PVD Approach: Mooney 0RD, traffic is an airbus overtaking from behind holding at 6000.

Me: Traffic in sight, and hey United, be nice, I'm Premier on your airline. mooney0RD.

UA123, without missing a beat, half a mile off my wing, laughing: I take it back!

PVD Approach: UA123, traffic no factor, climb and maintain FL250

Have to say, best Premier benefit was getting the last word :) My passenger was in awe lol

.. Soon after Bravo Company had discovered that transport was 24 hours late, immediately after we had finished breaking camp.

Unidentified - "I'm pis%&d off"

Range Control - "Romeo Charlie,Unidentified station. Use correct terminology. Identify yourself. Over"

Long Pause

I'm not that pis%&d off ............ over

Same exercise.

Romeo Charlie, this is Echo One. We have had a vehicle accident and found ourselves frequency embarrassed. Can you relay to Zero Echo. Over?

Echo One, Romeo Charlie. Copy. Loc-Stat. Over?

Charlie, One. Loc-stat; 123.456. 15 mikes east of road. over!

One, Charlie. Copy. Sit-rep. Over?

Charlie, One. Sit-rep; Our land-rover has rolled over. Over!

One, Charlie. Say again all after rover, over?

Charlie, One. Over, over. Over.

One, Charlie. Message Understood. Out.

This thread needs to make a comeback.

I had a CTR controller tell me that "his tongue stopped working" because he "drank too much coffee". That one was pretty funny.

Flying outta TEB one day

ATC: Cessna xxx are you familiar with the class bravo?
Xxx: yes sir we are.
ATC: Cessna xxx, well you're in the bravo now, get out!

ATC, "Delta MD88 ahead went around due to wind shear and a 30 knot loss, say intentions", ASA responded, "we'll take a look" continued, and after encountering wind shear, went around!
