Andreas Fuchs Posted February 20, 2022 at 03:34 PM Posted February 20, 2022 at 03:34 PM ??? SHT is a long-standing callsign from the real world. It is "Shuttle" which is reserved for British Airways' domestic flights within the UK. There is nothing to be banned. Please make your research before spitting out accusations. There are other callsigns/registrations that are 100% legal to be used, because they also exist in the real world, such as D-ILDO, D-ICKS, G-AAYE etc... 4 1 Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Hanson Posted February 20, 2022 at 03:35 PM Posted February 20, 2022 at 03:35 PM SHT or Shuttle is a genuine callsign used by British Airways Shuttle flights within the British Isles. Regards, Rog Hanson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Faria Posted February 20, 2022 at 03:36 PM Author Posted February 20, 2022 at 03:36 PM Ok thanks for the feedback!but like what if i live in the us and go control in the uk and there is that callsing? I will go wild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted February 20, 2022 at 03:51 PM Posted February 20, 2022 at 03:51 PM Why would you go wild? SHT stands for "Shuttle". Everything else is just in your imagination, get over it. It's like "FCK" might be read as a bad swear word, but in Germany it's the abbreviation of a soccer club...

Trevor Hannant Posted February 20, 2022 at 03:59 PM Posted February 20, 2022 at 03:59 PM if a long established real world callsign would make you "go wild", then I think you need to re-evaluate whether you come to the UK and control. In 8 years of controlling in the UK, I've never once: - had the occasion to use a swear word instead of "SHUTTLE" or - heard any other controller in the UK use it directed at me or any other pilot using it 2 Trevor Hannant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FCK is also the ICAO code of FCS Flight Calibration Services which has the callsign is NAV CHECKER. Flight FCK1T is legitimate, although I'm sure even the company did that rather tongue in cheek.

Dustin Rider Posted March 8, 2022 at 04:13 AM Posted March 8, 2022 at 04:13 AM There used to be an Alaskan airline called Peninsula Air whose three-letter FAA identifier was PEN. They used to have a flight number of 15. I'll let your imaginations fill in the rest. My understanding, based on the controllers I knew who worked that particular flight, is that the resulting callsign was unintentional and short-lived, but still hilarious.

Lauri Uusitalo Posted March 8, 2022 at 07:49 AM Posted March 8, 2022 at 07:49 AM In Finland we have a Pilatus registered OH-GOD, a Diamond registered OH-SHT and an old Fairchild OH-FCK. Imagine these three flying touch-and-goes on untowered airfield and for some reason using English on radio. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine they used an alphanumeric callsign, e.g. PEN1S.

Tobias Dammers Posted March 8, 2022 at 05:15 PM Posted March 8, 2022 at 05:15 PM Seeing how people have gotten away with G-SPOT and D-ILDO on the network, why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
