"With you"

[I_Love_Lamp]

....no kidding. I fly in the east. I stand corrected.

Please make checks out to I_Love_Lamp, c/o Keepin' It Real Flight Instruction.

.1 of instruction means you owe me $5.

No problem, I guess you can actually learn a few things around this site. Will you take payment in the form of bags of peanuts, biscoffs and cheese on wheat snacks from the galley?

As far as knowledge goes, I fall under the 10 pounds of ******************** in a 5 pound bag category. :beer:

It's 17 degrees in SFO... 19 in SEA... 21 in ANC.

It can make a big difference.

It's 4 in CVG, quit asking for the dang wind check!

What if I asked what pattern altitude was? "Delta'S 1601 10 miles south, inbound with Charlie, with a request" "Say request" "Well, we'd like the option and were wondering what pattern altitude was"

 

[johndt]

or look at the PFD on most airplanes that tell you what the dang wind is....

The only time I ask for a wind check is when the direction ATIS says the wind is coming from is different from the direction I'm seeing in the air (by a significant amount). If the ATIS is correct, then that will help me to anticipate some sort of shear, and I can impress the FAs w/ my smooth landings.

And also: who cares.

Arrrgggghhh! You'd be surprised how many captains I fly with who don't know what pattern altitude is. On a VISUAL approach, "we'll fly the published missed...". What exactly is the published missed on a visual (AIM says 1500', but No ooooo... we'll fly the ILS missed)? I also like while approaching the runway; "you can tell them we're ready", "they're going to tell us to hold short", "no, they probably forgot about us", (me rolling my eyes) "Tower, Comair is ready to depart (paraphrasing)", "comair hold short", "holding short, Comair". That was a good use of airtime.

how about "with you at FL Whore one zero descending FL three whore zero" Then change freq's with "SHHHLONG!"

ATIS being an hour old is true, however the wind machine the guy is reading could be located half a mile away from the touchdown zone.

Magnetic vs True is probably no more than 3 or 4 degrees different. I wouldn't be able to notice the difference between winds at 230 vs 235. Besides, if you are tracking the localizer or runway center line, the nose of the airplane will tell you where the wind is coming from.

Like mentioned above, do what it takes to straighten it out and land on the centerline.

Flying in the NY, NJ, PA, area it's between 11 and 13.

 

[urflyingme?!]

What if I go onm frequency and ramble for a few minutes like the old miner Will Ferrell played on SNL everytime my geriatric CA goes to the pooper and there's no one else in cockpit...

PS

"Rescue Jet 456, we're waaay up here at 340, and its so smooth I forgot the CA was flying!"

OH MY GOD! I had an insane captain (truly a phenom on the stick and a hilariously infamous character in his own right) bust off some Archie Bunker. THAT was the only thing that came to mind to keep up.

His Christopher Walken is spot on. Countered with a pithy Sean Connery. MY. SIDES. HURT.

I thought I was the only one who knew the miner!

You're on guard.

Ahh, the perfect cover-up for when you are not paying attention and miss a call.

Heard somewhere over Tennessee...

"Nice try Comair, you're the only one on the frequency."

"D'oh!"

 

[urflyingme?!]

How'd you hear it then??

 

[Coool Hand Luke]

BUSTED!!! Now that's funny!

 

[D-Bo]

How'd you hear it then??

THAT IS FUC*IN HILLARIOUS!
Now that right there is comedy!

 

[belchfire]

How'd you hear it then??

Dang man, I'm with you!

hehehe...

 

[DrewBlows]

My uh... friend told me. Yeah, that's the ticket!

[quoteMaybe I can get someone in a jball to check in as "Heavy" next April 1st...[/quote]

Been called that already that by Charlotte tower..."Carolina heavy, next high speed and ground .8"...that got a few chuckles over the freq.

 

[AverageWhiteGuy]

Got to love all of those "Andies" out there

And ahhh Uniteds 123 checking in with you for 1R Wind check

Its windy and both of you are cleared to land

I'm flying with this older (4 months 'till turning 60) crusty CA --the type that is bitter he never moved on to a 'retirement-worthy airline' due to his personality and his mediocre-at-best flying skills--;
9 times out of 10 when we get a freq. change, he completely forgets to check on!! At first (while I was still making futile attempts to hold a conversation with him) I would ask 'did we check on yet?' -even though i knew we didn't; now I just let center come on and say "XXX- are you with me"... then he responds 'with you @ 310'... as though he was just about to check on.
Completely and utterly embarrassing! I know it is not due to my distracting him- as now I have resigned myself to simply make my required call-outs and read books I bring w/me. He is just sitting there staring out the window.. silent!
Hate to say it, but in his case the 'age 60 rule' is appropriate (for a majority i believe it is not).

Don't know what my point was.. but just venting. Ugh.
