Geeeesh, come on people, there was a miscomm somewhere and the tower didn't realize what was going on and did what she though was in the best interest of safety at the moment, after realizing there was no issue and no need to further delay Lloyd she cleared him to land. If the cancelled clearance and subsequent reclearance to land was such a threat to safety Lloyd should have gone around himself. |
I think you must have missed the point. Your above post is not correct. Lloyd wasn't preturbed by the fact of the controllers concern but of the way she handled it, and more importantly being issued a phone number and getting lectured by the tower supervisor that didn't know his place. Correct me if I'm wrong Lloyd.
