"Traffic in sight"

[Hose A. Jiminez]

When you are above 18,000' and ATC lets you know about crossing traffic coming up, if you don't see the traffic right away, there is absolutely no need to call ATC back a few minutes later clogging up the frequency telling ATC that you now see the traffic. Did he ask you to report the traffic? No. It is simply done as a courtesy so you won't be startled when you see the traffic. Many years ago when jets first started flying, pilots almost climbed and descended on their own before warnings were issued. Anyway, no need to be a hero and call back ATC simply to report "traffic in sight", the controller really doesn't care and does not need you to report the traffic, so please stop adding to radio clutter.

Shut up dumb ass!! MAN you must be a pain in the ass to fly with.

That was a bit off side... Lord forgive me forgive for my outburst, and I pray that Mach 80 will find his way off of the avoidance bid list. Amen.

How about a "Judy" call?

Judy
Radio call signaling that your quarry is in sight and you are taking control of the intercept. "Darkstar, Judy, Judy. I'm going in for Guns."

He's too far out, I'm switching to missiles....

Even if I don't have the traffic in sight visually, I'll let ATC know if I have him on the "Fish Finder" and then a "tally ho" if I get him visually.

This thread is complete with this post.. Thank you.
