Repeat, this is not from the FAA, this is from NATCO!

(At least that's what I was told today)

Negative, Ghostrider....it's an FAA edict.

You guys may have Buzz in Atlanta, but we've got Axe in Houston Approach. This guy is awesome. Nothing makes my day more than the following exchange:

BTA XXXX: "Approach, Jetlink XXXX 10,000, X(ATIS)"
IAH APP: "Jetlincoln XXXX, keep it fast dude, 26L, you got a bent-wing pencil jet 1000' below ya, just in case ya'll get a "Traffic, Traffic" (in the TCAS voice)."

This guy has a million of them. Our XRs are Bent-Wing Pencil Jets. The 737s are Hoovers, the -800 and -900s are Super-Dooper Hoovers. The best was when he cleared southwest to the first fix on the Leona departure....

IAH APP: "Southwest 903, cleared direct Whatchu talkin' 'bout."
SWA 903: "Uh...(dead air then the mike clicks off)"
SWA 903: "Uh, you're going to have to give us that fix again, it's kinda early."
IAH APP: "Southwest 903, cleared direct Whatcu talkin' 'bout WLLIS."
SWA 903: "Uh...huh-huh. Good one. Direct WLLIS, 903."
IAH APP: "I thought so."

He's probably one of the best controllers we have.

We also have Richard (Mr. Happy...JETLink 2345, Houston Tower, good afternoon...). He's great, but if you have to listen to his voice on a 20 mile final at Vref+5, it really gets on your nerves (especially last leg).

skydriverdc6 · April 5th, 2006, 00:07

When I was actively flying in florida I worked for a company flying helicopters. One afternoon I flew into ORL executive. After making a few radio calls I reported 5 mile final to Tower. In a lot of instances we could usually break off of final and just hover taxi to the ramp, since we dont really need a runway. So I called up Tower and said

Me "Orlando Tower, Helicopter 3437T request"
Tower: "3437T go ahead with request"
Me: "3437T request to breakoff final approach and fly between hangar alpha to avionics shop"
Tower: 3437T, uhh not advised, we dont think you could fit in between those hangars.
Me: Helicopter 3437T roger.
Tower: Ohhhhhh, youre a helicopter, ok proceed
Me: *sigh*

my instructor saw my grip on the yoke and said " treat it like a nipple "
now I fly a stick...and well. that's too personal

BTW...this is not something that was said over the radio

Doug Taylor · April 5th, 2006, 01:16

We could always ask Foxtrot Xray as he's our ATC guy here at JC!

But I'm sure some 15 hour student pilot would want to argue with him!

I don't know what the answer is but by all means lets be resourceful about this.

On another note, we were #6 in line for takeoff in SLC today as a pretty sizeable thunderstorm passed over the field. Gusty winds, precip, the whole nine.

One plane decides to taxi back to the gate because of the windshear.

Another pilot chimes in on the radio and says, "Ran out of that fancy book knowledge, eh?"

No I didn't hear that on the radios I just said it!

Charlotte Approach has a guy that uses an Auctioneer stlye to give altitudes. Pretty funny, but gets old after a while. And who can forget the PIT Approach guy who says Seeee Yaaaaa!

That's what I call a "microsoft post"

You've given me accurate information, but it has nothing to do with my question, and did not tell me anything I didn't already know.

Has FX told us whether it was FAA direction or NATCA? - if he did I missed that part of his post.

My question was to aloft - does he have any proof of his claim?

Ok - please resume your regularly scheduled flamethrowing ...

jdflight · April 6th, 2006, 12:35

Going to PSP from LAX, we come over the mountains around 110 or 130 and have to get down fast. Drop the gear, push the props, and swing it around the hills at 2-3000'/minute. I was coming in one day and was told to follow a Galaxy on a 10 mile dogleg. That's pretty close to our approach, so I asked if we needed to widen it out.

ATC: No. The usual Scarewest approach should work just fine.

Me too. Stupid RP taking the flying on the 170. Oh... and Airways downsizing PIT... and AWAC getting the north east flying.

Tim · April 6th, 2006, 22:55

Max I think he retired. He is one of a kind.
We took him for a ride in the Supertug and he called up to the tower and told the shut the southside down that is where we were headed and he was driving.

jbp1 · April 6th, 2006, 23:09

Sitting in the run up area at JAX one day, a flight of 4 Guard F-15's takes off in front of us. The instructor calls tower to advise ready for departure and requests permission to do a max-performance take-off. Controller radio's back Seminole XXXX cleared for take-off, lets see whatcha got. After rotation the controller keys up with a WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO.

GaTechKid · April 6th, 2006, 23:53

My captain this month is religious about being over block but 20 early back home. On our last leg of the night out of PIT we got stuck behind a couple Piedmont Dashes and we were speed restricted to 170 in the climb and then 150 once we leveled off (250 is our normal). We were also vectored way off course for spacing. He's bored, sarcastic, and anxious to get back.

Departure: "Colgan XXXX contact Cleveland Center on XXX.XX and report your speed restricted to 150 behind the Dash"
My Captain: TELL HIM BEHIND THE TRASH!!
Me: "XX.XX behind the trash, Colgan XXXX"
Departure: "Good one..."

I_Money · April 7th, 2006, 01:11

Calling the B2 insight - yes I see, but how do you?

frog_flyer · April 7th, 2006, 01:19

Lol To The 2 Above......

Omg Im Laughing My Ass Off

desertdog71 · April 7th, 2006, 01:27

Me: Topeka Tower, Cessna XXX Clear 31 at Bravo.
Tower: Cessna XXX you are clear taxi across 18/36 direct for Biscuits and Gravy.

Food is about the only attraction at Billard I guess.

slushie · April 7th, 2006, 01:55

AT North Las Vegas we have one of the guys in the tower, when he's on ground he'll always say something like:

"Cessna 62G, Welcome back! Cross runway 12R at H, taxi to parking, monitor ground."

slushie · April 7th, 2006, 01:58

Once with Air Support, tower called us as traffic to ..I think it was Vision:

(we get our fair share of jokes)

TWR: "Vision xx, traffic 3 o'clock, 4,000, departing southwestbound, is a flight of three shiny Cessna 150's"

Vision: "We got the Jesus Jets."

Well, here's a Dell support technical service answer.

Durka durka, I can't help you then, durka.

Ask the resident ATC rep what the issues are. If you're unwilling to do so, it's outside of the scope of the website. We're all about first hand knowledge.
