    As for the first thing... the guy is probably searching for his pen, a blank strip, then another pen when that one doesn't write. Hey ... they're Gov't pens ...:D Seriously... sometimes we're busy giving info to a supervisor or on a land line and get a bit behind on things. It's not...

    Guys... this is a great thread... I have some flying time and have FAM'd a few times in the jumpseat (though not anymore... looks like the program is dead) but it has opened my eyes to how busy the crew can be... especially the props. Never rode up front in one... I'll try and answer...

    Typhoon1244 - nothing personal against the props (LOL) ... you hear the types of jets because of wake turbulence... different jets have different criteria for wake avoidance. Props on the other hand are all the same as far as criteria goes ... they have uniform seperation from each other and...

    Good phraseology will protect your A** ... I'm serious. When the tapes are pulled and reviewed the phraseology is gone over with a fine tooth comb. It would be terrible to get a blemish on a perfect record for a situation you handled well, but some suit writes you up because you got sloppy...

    Hey... great thread guys. First I want to mention that 99% of you guys (and gals) have strong phraseology... During the course of the day there is always some less then perfect stuff and the occasional things that make no sense but thankfully that is the exception, not the norm. Some...

    Question for the ATC Folks on board

    Something in the system is breaking down because you should get that route out of MMU. Actually ... almost anything filed out over WHITE should be accepted. Give me a day or so (won't be until around Monday evening, early Tuesday) and I should have an answer.

    Question for the ATC Folks on board

    Boy... we really opened up a can of worms. I'm gonna try and answer you guys in order... LR25 - Props and Jets get fed to approach controls at different altitudes. Very often the jets will get a decent in front of you guys in the props. I'm not saying this is fair but it is a necessary tool...

    Question for the ATC Folks on board

    This can be for many reasons... Most likley due to in-trail spacing restrictions for the NY metro area. The surrounding centers (especially NY and Washington) are hit with spacing restrictions by Philly and NY approach. These happen daily and very often they are 20 - 30 miles. It's also...

    "Cleared To Land"

    I'm not a tower controller but had some training so here goes... Anytime you want info on ATC rules check out the 7110.65 ATC manaul. This is the bible for ATC. You can see a copy of it online here - http://www.faa.gov/atpubs/ATC/ For same runway seperation see chapter 3 section 3-10-3...

    ATC Question

    Hey... I'm going to try and answer your questions. First, the basics. The FAA is currenlty hiring controllers (ATCS) 3 ways. 1 - VRA - Ex-Military controllers are hired through the VRA program. 2 - CTI (Controller Training Initiative). About 16 colleges throughout the country offer an FAA...
