Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted December 15, 2013 at 10:54 PM Board of Governors Posted December 15, 2013 at 10:54 PM I'm still waiting for the day when that happens to me, so I can say "N1234, say Cancel IFR" I've done that a few times over the years and, funny, no one ever does....

Daniel Channani 1180095 Posted December 16, 2013 at 12:59 AM Posted December 16, 2013 at 12:59 AM Was working MIA CTR told a guy a heading and told him to fly Direct HEDLY. On the way to HEDLY around FL230 he says. ABC123: Request heading 270 Me: Sir if you turn 270 you will be turning away from the course. ABC123: Sir we want 270 to intercept the LOC. At this time i giggled but understood what he meant. Me: Proceed as requested. (Moments later) ABC123: We captured the LOC Me: Daniel Channani ZMA EC [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davor Kusec 990407 Posted December 16, 2013 at 08:29 PM Posted December 16, 2013 at 08:29 PM Well I hope he does, since the controller said "radar contact". The only thing that's missing now is the Mode C Level check so all the controller has to do is ignore the readout and ask the pilot to "report reaching". I don't see the words "radar contact" in that quote. Maybe we're talking about different posts?

Ross Carlson Posted December 16, 2013 at 08:45 PM Posted December 16, 2013 at 08:45 PM Well I hope he does, since the controller said "radar contact". The only thing that's missing now is the Mode C Level check so all the controller has to do is ignore the readout and ask the pilot to "report reaching". I don't see the words "radar contact" in that quote. Maybe we're talking about different posts? Have another look ... they are the first two words said by the controller in the post you quoted. Not that we need to be picking on such things in a thread about humorous exchanges ...

Me: "Climb and maintain 7,000." ATC: "I was waiting for the day when that actually happened. Congratulations. You won." Me: "Thank you." And so it continues after a long day: ATC: "Radar contact, say altitude." Me: "Altitude is 3,000." ATC: "Say altitude." Me: "3,500 now." ATC: "No, you were supposed to actually say altitude. Anyway, radar contact." Captain Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
