    line up and wait ...!?

    Slowly but surely we are headed towards using ICAO standards in the US... I already see it in the Data Link that we are using in Oceanic. All clearences are pre formatted and they are in ICAO format. Also... over the Atlantic we use Flight levels all the way down to FL050. Sphrynxlla...

    Getting Started in ATC?

    Ok fellas... I'll try and add some info. Sorry I haven't been on the board much, since I bought GTA San Andreas for my PS2 I have gotten NOTHING done... LOL. Since I smashed the controller last night I figured I would check out the web... There are numerous reasons for the current freeze, the...

    Air traffic controller PAC ad?

    I posted something on it a few days ago... it is available on the Nacta site but only in the members only area. (I'm not sure why) ... in the members only message area they mention getting strong reactions from both sides...

    Why did the controller get so mad??

    it is still possible... but odd that a guy would call antoher guy that. Though... in a pissing match there is usually very little logic applied. I still think what was stated above is why it got hostile.

    Why did the controller get so mad??

    Was the controller female ??? If so the above posters are correct... I have seen this happen before, both sides... male controllers to female pilots and vise versa.

    Natca Ad

    I'm not sure why some can view it and others can't... the Natca site has it for donwload but it is the members only area (Lrjtcaptain, check there), I saw stuckmic had it and that is a public link, that is what I posted. I could not view it on my laptop until I downloaded the latest version of...

    Are aviation degrees even worth it???

    ...not saying that you can't make it going another direction, it's just that going the full aviation route stacks the deck a bit in your favor. ** Disclaimer ** - I know these types of programs (internships, guaranteed interviews, etc.) are a sore subject with some... I'm not endorsing...

    Oceanic Procedures

    Here is a link for ATP-130 ... the FAA's Oceanic Procedures Branch. http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/130.htm Not a bad site with some good info... also has some contacts. Again, if anyone has any specific questions that need answering post em' up... I'll answer them if I can, if not I'll...

    Atc

    ...the floor from the classroom this past weekend. The primary reason they were hired was due to the need for some bodies to facilitate ATOP training **BUT** we needed the bodies anyway. You're also beginning to see some movement in the FAA... supervisor bids are going out and being filled, we...

    ATC Shortage?!? Part 1

    I saw this artice before it was posted on here... I was not going to even give it the benefit of a reply, because by doing so I feel it might add some validity to it... but here goes... I don't work where "Janie" does so I won't comment on anything she said... I could easily make anonymous...

    FAA ATC hiring freeze

    skygirl... Vector made a great point... you're treated just as bad if not worse on the inside. It starts from day one... I had totally forgotten about the FAA and was working in the private sector... I came home and there was a message for me from the FAA. I thought I must have done...

    FAA ATC hiring freeze

    No one knows for sure when the freeze will be lifted... lots of rumors. The FAA just hired 8 new people to my facility (ZNY) and they are all reporting this Monday, the 23rd. They are going to Oceanic to help with staffing while Oceanic tranistions to ATOP. The only reason they were hired...

    Question about FDC NOTAMs over Power Plants

    I agree with you're thinking about the FSDO... BUT, circling a power plant will surely run higher up the food chain... Here in NY ANY suspicious activity around anything, especially a powerplant, and your getting scrambled on. An active scramble then involves the big boys (FBI, TSA, etc.) After...

    Question about FDC NOTAMs over Power Plants

    First a list of things NOT to do... Do not circle a power plant, especially VFR, you WILL be scrambled on. Do not fly from plant to plant, even if you are not circling, VFR low and slow, whatever. Use common sense, unfortunately the type of flying you want to do falls under right under the...

    Question for ATC

    Yea... I think the smaller guys will be hit the hardest. Have the RJ's in your fleet been updated ??? I see that a lot of the big boys (mainline) stuff has been updated, during swap when they go offshore they are all RVSM.

    Question for ATC

    DRVSM should be interesting... we have been using RVSM in Oceanic Airspace for some time, I think since 2000, maybe 2001. Not sure on the exact date... what's amazing is that when we started using it you thought, hey... I have twice as many altitudes... now a few years later we are out of...

    Career in the FAA or ATC?

    There is truth to the rumor about dumping FSS and flowing those folks back into the system... Congress makes sure FSS service levels continue AOPA advocacy has led to a congressional directive to the FAA, ensuring pilots continue to get the best possible flight briefing and en route...
