Richie Queally 1394209 Posted June 3, 2018 at 09:20 AM Posted June 3, 2018 at 09:20 AM I was on CYYJ_APP. There was someone flying from CYYJ to CZBB. I gave him a visual: CYYJ_APP: FDX74, report the field in sight. FDX74: Which one?

Joshua Jenkins Posted June 21, 2018 at 09:05 PM Posted June 21, 2018 at 09:05 PM So I was controlling Vancouver tower last night and this aircraft ended up flying through my airspace in the path of the active runway (twice). He then tried to line up with the runway and finally contacted me with this: Then a minute later I see him doing almost a 180 turn at about 150 feet so I pulled up my simulator which was connected as an observer through Euroscope and see this: Then he sends me this message: I guess there's always going to be "those pilots" no matter what VATSIM does Josh Josh Jenkins CZVR I1 controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Chan Posted August 10, 2018 at 02:57 PM Posted August 10, 2018 at 02:57 PM Happened yesterday while controlling Toronto Centre, we were running RWY 05 and 06L configs which is the preferred configuration unless cross winds exceed 25 knots in dry conditions. private chat: Me: please contact me on my frequency 125.77 Aircraft: Winds are 350 at 10 and you’re running approaches on 05 and 06L... WHY? Me: because that’s what they are running in real world. Aircraft: I’m going to disconnect and wait until you’re offline, bye. lol.

Zain Khan Posted August 18, 2018 at 10:46 AM Posted August 18, 2018 at 10:46 AM Oh, on a Saturday Night Ops event on Auckland Control (NZCH-R_CTR) 126.0 down in New Zealand ZKOGO - Request to be away from cockpit for 30 seconds Myself - Approved ZKOGO - Gonna go get my coffee Myself - laughs over frequency slightly, thinks it's what typical pilots say when they head off for a drink 2 minutes later.. (in the sound of a Spongebob time card if you imagine) ZKOGO - Ok the p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]engers changed their heads, request direct to Napier Myself - Roger, confirm changing your destination to NZNR from NZGS? ZKOGO - Affirm Myself - Ok, track direct Napier 1 minute later.. ZKOGO - Ok they changed their minds, request track to New Plymouth (NZNP) Myself - Another one.. (in the style of DJ Khalid). uhh track direct New Plymouth then. ZKOGO - roger direct New Plymount Another 1 minute later... ZKOGO - Now request return to Tauranga (NZTG) (the airport he departed) Myself - *sighs* Ok track to Tauranga, expect visual approach runway 25 via the coastline. Then he made it back to NZTG safe and sound. Insane.

Andre Almeida Posted October 8, 2018 at 04:24 PM Posted October 8, 2018 at 04:24 PM Had to leave as it was getting late, but decided to stay online a few more minutes to land that one last guy, so he wouldn't be left hanging close to the airport. LPPT_APP: Winds ..., runway 03, cleared to land. ABC123: Runway 03, cleared to land. 20 seconds later ABC123: Going around. There are about 3 AI aircraft on final. Well, perhaps next time I'll have better luck when I decide to stay online for that one last guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michal Majerczuk Posted October 9, 2018 at 10:27 AM Posted October 9, 2018 at 10:27 AM After 2 hours on Eurocontrol Islands I decided to have a nice and pleasant journey from Gatwick to Innsbruck in a B787. Due to the fact I had a broadband upgrade recently I started to stream too and during my flight there were few people watching. As instructed by Ground we were suppose to switch over to UNICOM 122.800 and contact London Control IF he will still be online when we reach the holding point of runway 26L but of course considering the fact it was ''virtual worlds best controlling facility'' I couldn't resist and tuned in to London Control to MONITOR the frequency - it was more than worth it. Upon reaching the holding point all I heard was the following: London Control - ABC123 Listen I know stopping is something we all hate but holding points are there at Heathrow for a reason. It doesn't actually bother me that you failed to stop this time because there is little to no traffic next to you but if my sector would have been busier it would been hell... Once airborne at approximately FL116 I head some mumbling response by one of the younger generations pilot and London Control have came up with the following response: London Control - Last calling station I have no idea what you have said but YES thats correct No wonder my chat went crazy saying ''London is at it again'' Now something that is not flying/controlling related. I was waiting for a student to show up for his Eurocontrol authorization session when I check my Discord and see the following message Person X Sorry I'm going to be late, my goldfish is drowning 30 minutes later he wasn't there so I just cancel the session...

Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted November 8, 2018 at 02:57 PM Board of Governors Posted November 8, 2018 at 02:57 PM Gotta love WorldFlight taking 40-60 aircraft into airports that are way too small to accommodate 40-60 aircraft.... JAC_GND: "Giant 1471 Heavy, the aircraft in front of you is disabled, do you feel comfortable running him over?" "Excellent, Giant 1471 Heavy, Runway 19, taxi via A, you may run over or through or however you like crush the 737 on the taxiway in front of you...." And followed mere seconds later by SPK245 calling, having overrun the snowy, icy runway.... "SPK245, yes, I see you down there in that ditch. Next left on Main Street, third left on Aviation Way, past the Alamo Rent A Car, through the fence, and you should be able to find a gate." Yes, it was a fun time for my first time ever working KJAC (or anywhere in Salt Lake City Center, for that matter). I guess I know why if they don't ask me back....

Alessio Nola Posted January 30, 2019 at 09:11 AM Posted January 30, 2019 at 09:11 AM Controlling Eurocontrol South, ABC123 is climbing higher than the cruise level filed EURS_FSS: ABC123, say your final level ABC123: thanks sir, have nice day (after dying on my chair) EURS_FSS: negative, report your final cruise level ABC123: FL300 EURS_FSS: roger, continue as filed (proceeded to die of asphyxiation) Five minutes later, an aircraft (on his own will) wrote on the frequency tab: DEF456: connecting to 122.800, bye And proceeded to turn the transponder off.
