Willis Chong 0 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Got this while flying last Saturday night. It's how I remembered, may not be the exact thing. VTBB_CTR: HVNxxx, identified FL330, continue flight planned route, report ready for descent. HVNxxx: Rgr. 15 minutes later VTBB_CTR: HVNxxx, what are you doing? HVNxxx: Listening to music. VTBB_CTR: HVNxxx, you are descending through FL240, I told you to report ready for descent. ----- Then I got an a/c squawking 7700 coming in to land while I was on WSSS_TWR. AGDxxx: TWR, AGDxxx coming in for 20R, hydraulic failure, no gear and flaps. WSSS_TWR: Roger, surface winds 180 at 5 knots, runway 20R cleared to land. Emergency services standing by. AGDxxx: Cleared to land 20R, thank you sir. ...then after he landed and stopped on the runway, he proceeded to taxi back to the gate. Link to post Share on other sites

Wybe Witteveen 1236692 0 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 These are all hilarious. Here's my contribution. I thought these "little Fokker" jokes were getting old, but BCY couldn't resist. This was on EHAM_GND earlier. [13:34:36] >> BCYXXX, follow the little Fokker onto A, taxi gate D57. [13:35:24] BCYXXX: onto A behind the little f****r then D57 [13:35:35] BCYXXX: *fokker [13:36:03] >> I am amused. Link to post Share on other sites
Ernesto Alvarez 818262 1 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 just saw this transmitted by a center, an I1 mind you "Sir, I need you to sqwk the proper code, if you are unable to do so, please disconnect" hmmm never learned alternate methods would be my guess?

David Zhong 0 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 It depends... if you're busy and you don't have a way of manually coupling the tag, maintaining ident can be a bit difficult... David Zhong Link to post Share on other sites
Ernesto Alvarez 818262 1 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 "IF" you are busy. but theirs plenty of options available before it ever comes down to telling someone to disconnect, especially a new user in this situation. the mode C is obviously still coming through, theirs procedures for beacon code display errors. can even have the pilot enter the pattern and land back at the airport to fix the issue 5-3-3c is also another, instead of identing, have them go standby then back to mode C to identify. http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/atc/atc0503.html#atc0503.html.1 Link to post Share on other sites
David Zhong 0 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I never justified the controller's actions; just pointed out that when you have a tag with only a squawk code and altitude and 10 other aircraft to deal with, it's all too easy to lose track of that aircraft. Sure you can identify them... but you have to maintain that identification somehow. David Zhong Link to post Share on other sites
Brad Lee 0 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Had this yesterday on JAX APP, two aircraft coming in for the visual runway 8. First aircraft is cleared for the approach, then over DINNS at the marker he goes straight down. I get a PM saying "I don't know what happened, the autopiilot made me go nose down into the dirt like Denzel Washington, can I slew back up and retry the approach?" I told him to hold fast as I had another guy behind him, would advise. 2nd guy comes in, "US123, cleared visual runway 88 approach, and N123AB we have notified NTSB, ARFF, and CAP."

We are going to turn off the engines now because mother is ready for bed. We appreciate you flying Sun Airlines and would hope you would fly us again, except we're going to die given the likely nose dive into the ocean near the speed of sound.

As I indicated multiple times in my transmissions, you were about 2x3 meaning I could barely hear you and you were quite broken as well. Additionally, and somewhat more importantly, the attitude you indicate was not present. Thanks for flying ZDV and I look forward to seeing you next time!
