Re: Pet peeves..
Oh, somebody mentioned strobes being a pet peeve. Here's my photon-related pet peeve: at night, if I'm pointing right in another airplanes face, unless I'm taking-off, landing, or rolling-out, I'll turn my landing lights off. Am I the only person that does this?
No, no, you missed the point. Most guys respond to hold shorts by saying "short of X, Candler 621." I can live with that. What bugs me is guys who are too lazy to read-back "position and hold." Jeez, if there's ever a time we shouldn't be dorking around with phraseology, it's going into position on the runway!dsee8driver said:"On the hold:" Can you think of a time when a controller asked you to hold short of X and forgot about you? Or when a position you hold is not visible from the tower? Maybe this is appropiate.
