"Traffic in sight"

[GogglesPisano]

One of "those" captains. I wonder if he wonders why his FO's always seem to "stay in their room and study."

When in Africa, use proper phraseology... When in the States, communicate.....

Rez, "Negative Contact" is not a required response. "Roger," is an acceptable response.

Mach80, read the AIM once in a while.

Accpetable yes.... but the best?

I only found two replies specific for a traffic call....


what else is there?

 

[Whataburger]

Best one I heard live...

CLT approach: "CC Air 1234, Traffic one o'clock base to final, you are number 2 for the airport."

Pilot: "We ain't skeered."

When a controller pints out traffic during cruise at the flight levels, he/she is only doing it simply so you won't be startled seeing another aircraft coming at you. After acknowledging the call, it is NOT necessary nor required to make another call to center to report the traffic "in sight". The controller really doesn't care too much.

Yesterday there were two blocked transmissions because pilots unecessarily called back to report "traffic in sight". An AA flight bugged INDY center TWICE to let the controller know the traffic was in sight....the second time with great irritation in his voice because he wasn't responded to on the first transmission when it was quite clear the controller was doing some coordination.

Hey thanks, man! Your aviation genius is swell!

As far as "best" response, who knows?

"Got 'em on the fish finder," is freaking hilarious when used in response to Tower pointing out the airplane 50 feet in front of you starting their takeoff roll.

 

[say again]

Hey Rez, do you have to bring politics to every thread??? Keep it where it belongs, it's really is not that hard to do (for most anyways).
