    weather deviations in non-radar IFR

    I can't answer on domestic non-radar but oceanic (North Atlantic and Caribbean) I can give you a lot of details. In the Carribean (WATRS airspace, all non-radar) deviations are a common occurrence. In this airspace over 90% of A/C are on a route... they typically advise ATC that there is wx say...

    Mandatory Reporting Points

    FlyChicaga - in radar position reports are not required... you mentioned that you progressed a fix that was a mandatory reporting point but were still in radar. From what I get from your post the next fix was non-radar... here is why that is. In non-radar airspace you normally are still in some...

    Declaring Minimum Fuel

    One thing I forgot to mention... I always ask for fuel remaining in TIME. Majority of the time pilots report remaining fuel in pounds, I have no idea what that means. When declaring anything to do with fuel that is vital info for us...

    ATC question: Denying a clearance because of DP req's

    I don't work in a tower but I'll still try and provide some info. We have an order of priorities as to how we handle A/C ... unfortunatley what you were looking for is low on the list when things are busy. You are on the ground so in that order you do not need immediate attention, the attention...

    Declaring Minimum Fuel

    There is no clear cut answer for this... At the center our procedures are this, A/C declares minimum fuel, controller asks A/C their intentions/request and we alert the supervisor. Every A/C that declares is logged. Majority of the time nothing comes of it. It is a common occurence for...

    LASIK of For ATCs?

    I have had Lasik... so has a dozen people I work with. I also work with people that have terrible uncorrected vision. I have no idea what -5.50 for a prescription means :confused: As far as I know we only have to have vision corrected to 20/20 ... If you check out the FAA website that lists...

    When's The Last Time You Had To Hold?

    I guess no one here flys into PHL or EWR ... we hold for them just about every day. IAD is another one... the center holds daily for them. Happens more then you would think...

    Police Aviation

    NYPD pilots are all officers first... and it's a bit political to get into the unit. A few of us (controllers) got a tour of their operation back in 01' ... VERY IMPRESSIVE ... the whole unit are officers from the pilots to mechanics. They were a very friendly group, probably one of the...

    asking to see the fight deck -- a thing of the past?

    Recently went to FL on JetBlue... while getting off at TPA flight crew had a couple of Pax up in the cockpit, was chatting with them, even saw someone sitting in the Capt. seat while his buddy took a picture. Inflight I would doubt...

    Any Center Controllers out there?

    Air Traffic assistant (FAA 2154) is not a route to controller (FAA 2152). As posted above the FAA has only been hiring through the CTI program and former military... there are also some MARC students left but that program has been shut down and looks to be finished. The AT-SAT test has...

    Pilots & Tattoos

    The policy is... there is no real policy. As long as nothing is offensive is the official word. I work with a guy that has both arms sleeved, multiple piercings, and dresses like a skateboarder. No one cares... We have a bunch of girls who have ankle tatoos that are visible, nose rings...

    D-RVSM altitudes

    The East cost centers have a bit of a different philosophy... with the traffic flows and sector layouts directs are not something that is easily done. Giving someone direct has A/C cutting sector boundries, warning areas, etc. It's a less a personal thing and more a procedure thing. This is...

    D-RVSM altitudes

    Yup... that is correct You would be surprised... in a typical 8 hour shift I'll work 4-6 A/C @ FL430, about 4 or 5 times a week I'll work A/C at FL450 or FL470, with the holidays you see more above FL410 due to the increased traffic.
