Okay, so we get bored sometimes and we have pilot deviation after pilot deviation....3 runway incursions in 3 weeks....and pilots who really don't know how to fly....
Anyways, I have a tendency to have a short fuse from time to time but sometimes we just like to allow pilots to look stupid.
Anyways, today I have a G3 that lands on a runway that wasn't even as published. The local controller was nice, and allowed the Gulfstream a straight into Rwy32 even though 14 was our main active runway. The gulfstream clears at the end makes the turn, joins the parallel taxi way begins to taxi, in the meantime im on the phone with arrival letting them know the gulfstream is down. He finally calls for clrnce to taxi to an FBO. Well, he was already on the movement area, aparently knew where he was going, made a wrong turn taxied onto the wrong ramp, in the meantime the FBO is showing this guy where to park. Well, the truck starts to bring him towards a taxiway that is restricted to 30,000lbs. I stop it there, tell the gulfstream to make a 180 back to Hotel, join Yankee up to taxiway bravo. Well, then I get a line of crap. They are yelling at me. I never issued taxi instructions to begin with due to the fact when they called they were already moving....moving opposite direction as opposed to my other aircraft taxiing to rwy14. I was on the land line and its my fault they are lost and he yelled at me because he said he asked to taxi. He was taxiing before I even had time to respond to him. So from the time he landed to the time he was about to enter the weight restricted taxiway was a good 3/4miles of taxiing and about 3 minutes with out a word out of my mouth.....was I in the wrong for not responding when apparently he knew where he was going but didn't and didn't need taxi clearence from me to do so. At that point when he yelled at me I completly lost it. Im so tired of some of these guys don't think they need clearence for anything, cant comply with any restrictions. Slow to 140kts for slower traffic ahead...Unable...roger, Option466 go around......Arent' most VREF speeds below that in biz jets???
Um.....Execjet 785, do you have a 70kt tailwind at 3,000ft??? Um...no why? Well my radar shows your groundspeed of 280kts. Comply with the 200kt rule. "Your radar must be broken!" Always a good one.
The rest of you guys are a pleasure to work with, I just needed to vent!
Sorry.
