quick question

[LewisU_Pilot]

I was always taught to say the airport name first followed by traffic, intentions and ending it with the airport name. "Lewis traffic skylane 3033 november entering left 45 for 9 Lewis"

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnddddddddddddddd Lewis Traffic


After about 5 goons up there call in a row all being cute and funny by extending the unecessary word "And" I have already taken off, gone around the pattern, and landed at Morris.


122.8 is busy as hell.

When at a controlled airport ( towered ) the radio procedure I use is to first taxi up to the hold short line and call tower. " Martin Tower, Cessna 12345 ready for departure runway 33 full length." You are telling the tower you are ready to take-off and you are using the full length of the runway. If you are departing using an intersection, you are required to tell ground before taxiing and tell tower when you are ready to go.

" Martin Ground, Cessna 12345 request intersection charlie departure." Cessna 345 Martin Ground, taxi runway 33 intersection charlie approved."

Before we got the Cessna, I really hadn't done a lot of flying the last decade, especially at un-towered airports. The past year though, I have really begun to appreciate why all the moaning and groaning over unicom calls. There's folks out there who can talk for 45 seconds straight and say nothing useful. Or ya get two or three controller wannabes in the area, and they start "suggesting" how the other folks should enter/fly their pattern. It's really a sad specticle. Four pilots who know how to fly and talk efficiently can be drinking coffee in the lounge before those other clowns decide which runway should be active....
