Thimo Koolen Posted February 3, 2016 at 07:39 AM Posted February 3, 2016 at 07:39 AM Oh allright, I didn't know vPilot is supposed to block transmissions during the calibration. Life lesson: Do not tune an active frequency yet. ACCNL4 (Training Director) - Dutch VACC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted February 3, 2016 at 02:30 PM Posted February 3, 2016 at 02:30 PM I tested it last night, calibrated my mic while I was on a live frequency, the controller did not hear me during calibration.

Zain Khan Posted March 19, 2016 at 08:57 PM Posted March 19, 2016 at 08:57 PM One moment where I was controlling and Andrew Ogden, when he was controlling a TMA position above my airspace told me on TeamSpeak that a aircraft (can't remember his callsign) had been told to "contact Christchurch Control on 126.000" and then the pilot had read back instead saying "Contact Wellington Control", pronouncing the station he is handing off to wrong. Andrew on TeamSpeak said to me and also via ATC chat through EuroScope "That was a first, Wellington Control?" Pretty gold. I got to say there. Secondly when I saw on VAT-Spy 8 aircraft coming in a group into Christchurch Airport from Sydney and eventually as I hopped on to Christchurch Tower, one of the aircraft, ANZ884 flown by Ablai, who I ended up remembering from Matt Davies' video had been PMing me telling a aircraft to slow down so that he can win a race and to maintain separation. And in the end when all the aircraft landed, I transmitted over the frequency "Well that was a cavalry" and one of the aircraft replied "Haha yeah it was." These moments were so cringeworthy and as a controller, I found it although a little immature, I found it quite funny. It was fantastic.

Thimo Koolen Posted March 20, 2016 at 10:27 AM Posted March 20, 2016 at 10:27 AM I saw it on the DutchVACC forum last week. It would have been funnier if he replied with: "I read you 1.

Me: "XXX I haven't received your flight plan, please refile." "XXX, flight plan refiled." Me: "XXX, I still haven't received your flight plan, please confirm callsign and that it's filed for a departure from Gatwick." "XXX, why would I file from Gatwick, I'm departing from Heathrow on stand ..." Me: "..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thimo Koolen Posted April 6, 2016 at 01:56 PM Posted April 6, 2016 at 01:56 PM That moment when LON_W_CTR is extremely quiet and the controller is extremely chill. LON_W_CTR: "BAWxxxx, .........................." (something I didn't quite understand, heavy accent involved) *10 seconds later, no readback* LON_W_CTR: "Okay then. BAWxxxx you can go over to Unicom one two two decimal eight.

Luka Stevens Posted April 7, 2016 at 05:19 PM Posted April 7, 2016 at 05:19 PM So I was observing EBBR approach and there was a JDI80K approaching, the JDI callsign is pronounced JEDI so the controller said: "Hello identified, may the force be with you".

Eric Kollat 1250947 Posted April 9, 2016 at 01:22 AM Posted April 9, 2016 at 01:22 AM Was flying while hearing this but still funny nonetheless. Happened during the Boston FNO - I was departing. Controller: "Cleared direct OSHNN, hold at OSHNN as published, expect further clearance (time)Z, time now (time)Z" Pilot: "Okay, cleared direct OSHNN, we'll hold there, and by the way, we don't know how to fly a hold" Controller: "Wait... what'd you say?"

Did the Amsterdam control area expand or should I go to Unicom? I'm almost above Great Britain..." The controller wasn't having a good day, but it made him laugh.

Dace Nicmane Posted May 8, 2016 at 02:21 PM Posted May 8, 2016 at 02:21 PM Yep. Then came the control and landed everyone on 22. Another one. A pilot keeps asking for his own headings and altitudes during an event. Controller: XXX, we'll get you through this. For now maintain your heading and altitude. We'll get you to the ILS, I promise.
