In theory it’s easy to triangulate a VHF transmission, while in this function....extremely difficult and costly.

From a cost perspective, they will just let the guard police (you) keep doing their thing.

They can’t just pull a CVR either.

Controller 1: "Hey, Bob, how is your sector going?"

Controller 2: "Good except for this annoying chatter on guard"

Controler 1: "Just write down the exact time you hear a transmission down to the millisecond. Then we will call all the other sectors around us and ask them to find the exact same transmission and send us the time they received it. Once we get 4 of them, we can find someone who has a masters in geometry to find the point of transmission. Then we reference the radar data for the time of the transmission and find the flight number. We can then contact the airline and ask for the name of the flight crew and the CVR. I am sure an airline would have no problem providing us with that information."

Controller 2: "I think I'll just wait 2 minutes for the pilot to get bored of meowing or fly out of range"

"They" being the FAA, maybe correct.

But DOJ can get a warrant to pull anything if needed.

Triangulation and correlation to flight numbers would be trivial.....
several federal departments are quite good at that, and have mobile assets. It wouldn't be cheap, so it's questionable whether they'd incur the cost. But if they wanted it bad enough, no brainer.

They'd only have to prosecute one airline pilot, with suitable publicity, and problem solved.

Lol what? A deviation for a missed handoff? I'll believe it when I see it, and I've gotten several of those ACARS messages (including when both myself and the other crewmember were alert and attentive and monitoring guard and still never heard our callsign) and I've never filed an ASAP and I've never heard a word about it.

Anybody consider it's a bored out of their mind small airport controller? If it keeps happening in the same place all the time.

I'm just kind of sick of the guard police talking on the ATL ramp frequency.

They are doing it to SKW as we speak. Maybe they got too lazy (plus there are a lot of them out there to generate a "trend").

And one time would do it. They get to solve a safety problem for decades with a single event. And eventually if left unchecked, this lack of professionalism will hurt someone and they'll be forced to do it anyway.

Might as well do it preemptively, hang up a scalp where the rest of the children can see it and realize they need to find a different immature game to amuse their infantile minds with and be done with it.

All those programs protect non-intentional violations.

It could be argued that the FAA should t have come down so hard on those Delta 330 pilots who got distracted and overflew their destination. That was 100% unintentional.

This guard crap is very intentional. No excuse can be made. Drop the hammer on those stupid MFs

I have heard 3 real life emergencies messed up by these idiots. I have no patience with this crap. Anyone caught meowing or whatever on an emergency freq has no business in an airplane.

Permanent revocation would be good.

Does this sum it up pretty well? I fly in and out of the DC SFRA and it is a daily occurrence. I think the military guys get bored. :D
