Unicom is not a Multicom

When will people understand this???? I am pissed!

Be polite tell them to take it to 123.45 if they want to chat

Pilots saying a full call and then correcting it because they said the wrong tail number or aircraft type. No one really cares what airplane they are in just where they are.

Yea, I think it matters Cub Vs Malibu hummmm!!!! Or maybe something a little faster Skyhawk Vs. Citation Or shall both say Cessna N12345 or Piper N12345 wouldn’t you like to know what type of Cessna or Piper it is?

This particular transmission is very necessary. It has saved many lives that I know of when an airliner was taxiing out for takeoff in a snow storm at a non-towered airport. There was a snow plow on the runway and he was able to clear just in time.

It's also been known to kill people...

Contributing factor to the above accident was some numnuts annoucing taxi intentions and try to be 'helpful' without having any situational awareness.

Bottom line is whether on the ground or in the air, a pilot must have situational awareness of what is going on and adjust their transmissions accordingly.

Instrument students and instructors (doing practice approaches) saying they are over GKDBE on the GPS XX approach. How many student pilots are
going to know where that is? I teach my students to make all calls depending on if the weather is VFR or IFR.

AIM 4-1-9, g., 4. Practice Approaches. That is the recommended procedure.

The correct frequency for "Chat" is 122.75 or 122.85. It has been discussed in another thread that 123.45 is reserved by the FCC/FAA for other purposes.
