"No horn No land"

[minitour]

Hey Minitour,

I really like the mental image from your mental image...thanks for making me laugh. BEEEEEEP...KURPLUNK!!!

Also I agree that the stall warning horn can allow for the ideal landing, but i've never actually known of a place that required it.

Tailwinds always.

Yeah...as the Captain is just dumbfounded looking at his "stickshaker" going buck...

"you know we're supposed to hold short of Sierra..."
*BEEP* *shake shake shake*
"uhm..."
*BAM*
"...aaaaaaaaaaaaand Ground X123 off the right side, gonna be a minute to change a diaper..." (gotta throw in the fancy "aaaaaaaand" to start off every radio call - "aaaaaaand departure Citation 12345 3 for 9 runway heading" "aaaaaaaand center Citation 12345 checkin in 14 point five for Three-Two-Oh" I guess thats another thread altogether)

I should write a picture book...the pictures that go through my head are priceless...

Thanks for making ME laugh.......again....

Hope you're not stoppin' at FL320, DRVSM doesn't go into effect for another 3 months (Jan. 20, 2005)

Thanks guys

Thanks for the heads up and welcome guys, this forum seems like a great spot to exchange info! I think I'll be looking into Windy City flyers or Waukeegan Wings. Now, how about ground school? any tips there? I live next to Harper College, and they have a adult continuing education course there starting in January. I thought about that, or maybe doing the King Schools course. Whadya think?

I would like to personally endorse King Schools. I bought the cd ROM course and I owe my great score on the written to them. It comes with the workbook and like 14 cd's. Each one breaks down and explains the concepts excellantly.

It is deffinately a good approach.

As he calls up tower, seemingly complacant with what just took place, as if it were company policy to fly that way!!

ah thats the system for ya...

"aaaaaaaaaand Clearance Citation 12345 IFR to Hunkytunky, ready to copy"

"Citation 12345 cleared to Hunkytunky as filed, maintain FL320, expect FL340 20 minutes after departure, departure on 133.75 squawk 0420"

"AAAAAAAAAND citation 345 cleared as filed maintain three two OH expect three four OH twenty minutes departure on thirty-three point seventyfive, and oh four two oh on the box'"

"*sigh* Readback is correct.........sort of"

I can't wait to get out of training so I can be cool and talk like that instead of using the AIM "language"...

PS
Yeah, its not necessary to land with the horn going off....*trying to save the thread from getting off topic....oh...nevermind*

 

[Flyguy2k8]

Oh this thread was about something to do with a stall horn or something. I thought it was about sharring cool pilot talk. Just kidding. I agree we have to follow the lingo by the books. Something cool to try would to fly an airplane like N***CB, so we could say Charlie Brown. FYI if you ever feel like busting your checkrides, say charlie brown instead of charlie bravo.


I figured I would leave you with a funny air traffic line. Hope these three jokes make you laugh.

Tower: "Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!" Delta 351: "Give us another hint! We have digital watches!"

"TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees." "Centre, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?" "Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?"

From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: "I'm f...ing bored!" Ground Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!" Unknown aircraft: "I said I was f...ing bored, not f...ing stupid!"

One more...for tonight atleast:

Allegedly the German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They, it is alleged, not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 206. Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway." Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven." The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop. Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?" Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now." Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?" Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark,...... and I didn't land."

I'd much rather come in with a little bit extra speed, then not come in with enough. .

Fine and dandy until you do that once a decade short field approach and landing...then the trees at the other end seem to get bigger faster as well!

Whats that they say about a jet? 5% extra speed over the fence translates into something like a 20% increase in landing distance.

I've never quite understood what the problem with being "On Speed" is? Other than students can't hold constant speed, so they allways say they're carrying a little extra speed, just in case.

Disclaimer: I Do not believe the "No Horn, No Land" theory. However, those of you that fly light airplanes, ie 172, should be hearing the horn before landing. Heck, it usually comes on 10+ above stall. You should hear it most of the way through the transition (If it works).

How about not setting the airplane on the ground other than in the landing attitude?
