"..With You.."

[zbwmy]

My favorite bit of communication is from a recently retired captain of ours.

When ATC gave us a clearance he didn't like he would shout "Holy S h i t!" across the cockpit as I keyed the mike and began reading back the instruction. It really gets the message across.

I love it

I just like saying "Helloooooo Cleveland!!!"

 

[100LL... Again!]

I never say "with you" "...and Denver Center", "traffic please advise" or "checking in".

Also, while we are on the subject, you corporate guys who refuse to use phonetic letter sound like total tools.

Alpha Velveeta Knuckle Underwear, you are cleared for takeoff.

Great Call

Capt 7 - great observation . Bad COM has killed many folks - (Canary IS). If you want to be chatty, get a taxicab job.

You guys are fags...get a life

"Position and Hold"

Personally I think, "Pull it out and hold it" is funnier....but that's just me.


Ya'll try not to get too wrapped around the axle now.

Rumor has it, that the Captain of that KLM 747 was making guys into teeth, hair and eyeballs, back when your mum was shaking turds out your knickers.

"A simple reward or bet.

A the beginning of a trip, offer the other pilot a free steak dinner if he or she completes the following task.

From the beginning of the trip until at the layover with the steak dinner the pilot must always use the correct word "ZERO", and not "OH" when communicating with ATC. If the pilot uses "OH" one time instead of "ZERO" the pilot does not receive the FREE steak dinner.


It shouldn't cost much."


Didn't you give me a checkride once........

Bad comm was part of it, but the main reason that crash happened was because the Capt's CRM/Leadership was horrible (combined with a diversion, bad weather, non standard ops, and most of all a Captain who believed he was Mr KLM and was not in the mood to hear it from some inferior FO).

The FO clearly knew and understood that KLM only had their ATC clearance, and NOT a takeoff clearance. Maybe he should have been a little MORE chatty to VanZantan. Maybe if he were a little MORE chatty (and clear) on the radio, (KLM is commencing takeoff, Runway XX), maybe just maybe Pan Am would have been able to clear the runway.


Alot of what's being said about comm is very appropriate, but if you set up the wrong atmosphere in the cockpit, you're begging for bad things to happen.

We have a winner!!!

 

[Laboule]

How about guys that look for traffic saying, "Negative contact...searching...tally ho on the Fishfinder." ?? After that time consuming cool talk, the controller still only knows the pilot doesn't have him in sight. Maybe the controller tallies the "Fishfinder only" column. And, how do I get a Fishfinder? All I have is TCAS II, dangit.

NY airspace

Quick question from a rookie:


Let's say your destination is TEB. The ATIS is Sierra. Bradley App hands you off to New York Approach.

Do you advise each subsequent sector that you have Sierra? or Just the initial New York approach sector? I can't find it in the AIM. Thanks.

I have no idea what the AIM would say too your question. Unless you fly there regulary it's hard to figure out when you are being handed over to the guy that wants that info.

But if you.....
A) don't say it at all, they will ask

B) say it for every freq, they WILL tell you to pass that along to the next
controller.

Either way, with time you will figure out what freq's they use for certain areas and when to tell them what ATIS you have!

NY controllers will very quickly point out whatever it is you are doing wrong. Great guys and I love to fly in their airspace.
