I solo'd yesterday out in the pratice area near GMU and tuned up the tower bto report my position to enter the pattern for touch and go's.
Well, I end up turning to delay entering the area to listen to the traffic and ATC talking.
It was quite busy for a Sunday afternoon at this airport. About 3 aircraft in the pattern ad a few inbound.
ATC says "808, turn to heading 360", No repsonse from the pilot...."808 tower, do you copy?".....
"808 copy, Understand(heavy german accent)".....
"808, Ma'am I need for you to turn right, do you undertand?"
808.."Why I don't see any other traffic!"
Tower."I don't have time to explain, Aircraft are inbound to your position!!"
Tower."Do you understand?!?..(Controller then starts Dutch/German Phrases)
I was scared to enter the pattern with this yo-yo doing touch and go's. This controller was freaking out(rightly so) and pi$$ed. This pilot continued to do whatever she wanted. She never did what ATC told her to do. ATC made everyone else work around her.
My question is, what is the FAA going to do? She was not flying out of the airport so teh controller couldn't say anything to her. The controller didn't say anything about writing her up.
What will happen to this pilot for totally ignoring ATC?
I am still stunned this pilot asked "Why!".
Whassup?
