UND @ Air Show

does und have a callsign? Zero November Delta for every plane in the air would get confusing real quick.

Sioux, or Flickernail now that the name is being changed :bandit:

Hey, it would be funny if it happened the Bulldogs need another rodent to beat on in the WCHA :beer: ;)

Guess since BSU is joining they are sort of a rodent :D
 
hmm, how do they assign flight numbers? We always did the callsign followed by the last three of the tail... but again, they'd all be the same.

"Sioux" and the last 2 digits of the tail. 3-letter code is NDU.

Works great in principle unless you're flying a Warrior from the 4xx range whose C172 counterpart has taken over it's NDU code. In that case, you file and operate on the radios with the full tail number - like a "real" pilot :D
 
I can't wait until some people in this thread and the other UND rain thread look back in a few at what they acted like and realize how immature and how misguided their know-it-all attitude is.
I know it's now becoming the cool thing to do to bag on collegiate aviation but if you can't follow SOPs while flying Archers around the middle of nowhere I'm not too confident you'll want to follow them in a turboprop in the northeast with a dozen crazies in the back. SOPs don't always make sense but you follow them unless there is a reason you believe they'll kill you. It'd probably benefit a few users in this thread to shut up and read and stop posting for a few days or years until they mature enough to realize if they are going to make a career out of this deal they'll ALWAYS have someone telling them how, when, and where they will fly.

YOU have never been in any cockpit of an aircraft I've been in command of so YOU should shut your face kid.

I actually heard that UND is making the people flying the Warrior with the same callsign to use NDU53P or "Sioux Five Three Papa" I guess Papa is signifying it is a Piper.

That's what I've been hearing on the radio, too.

Yup, my instructor said they will be doing it with papa at the end until the Warriors are gone later this year.
 
Hm. Haven't heard that one yet. I suppose when you've got the certificate and the callsign, you milk it for all it's worth!

Gotta admit I thoroughly enjoyed my time in 323 last fall flying nothing but "Warrior two two niner november delta" while WARG availability was marginal, though :D
 
Ok, so we have a lot of aircraft.

Our callsign is Sioux, filed as NDU xx
where xx is the last 2 of the aircraft numbers
All of our aircraft are NxxxND (ND for North Dakota University, same as NDU)

Where if we have N520ND and N420ND,

N520ND is NDU20 is Sioux 20
N420ND is NDU20P is Sioux 20P

Also, due to the amount of congestion (just listen to live atc on a low wind day) we say it as Sioux two-zero, NOT Sioux Twenty. Especially with our international students where English isn't the best thing they have going for them, breaking it up like we say runways cuts back on double radio calls.
 
I do believe breaking up the numbers and saying "Sioux Two Zero" instead of "Sioux Twenty" applies only to the Grand Forks area correct?

I've also attached a little memento for those of you who have left Grand Forks so you can remember the views you are missing! Can anyone guess what it is? lol :)
