AOP....A? Jk. I'm on the same page as you. It's another one of those unnessAry calls. Aopa have an article?

They don't have an article, but if your an AOPA memeber, you should checkout the message boards over there. Some of the arguments are crazy. They went 16 pages on the legality of ramp fees.

ATITPPA bugs the crap out of me. Ended up in an argument with a checkpilot about it. Wanted to fail me because I didn't say it. AIM 4-1-3(G) (Probably the only thing in the AIM I have memorized).
People who are trying to learn both how to fly and how to speak english at the same time.
Crazy excessive preflights (30+ minutes for a 172)

what can one possibly need 30 minutes to check on a 172? Hell WN turns 73's in less time (do they still do any 20 min turns? I'm a US /star flyer because that's who my company contracts with, so I never get to fly them)

Well..I had to go #2 once during my preflight on my first long x-country. Probably pushed the preflight a bit long... :rolleyes:
 
I am always urked when going into the local FBO and listen to a group of flight instructors (at the front counter in front of students and customers) debate on which regional is better because of the equipment they fly. Then they go on to complaining how they deserve a job with 500-800hrs because their flight instructors got jobs flying jets at 300-500 hours and how it's not fair.

Also a big pet peeve is flight instructors who try to back-stab and steal away my client pool.

EXACTLY man. That and "I got em on the fishfinder" have to be the 2 things that I absolutely can't stand to hear on the radio. I also don't like when people say XXXX "in the box." It may sound "cool" to the guys that use it but it is not correct, and it takes up extra radio time. Squawk 1234 is much quicker than saying "in the box."
 
I'm a student pilot still, but conversation on the CTAF is my only pet peeve. It's not a big deal but when I'm practicing it gets distracting when it goes long.

I do 60 minute pre-flights. I don't want to be dangerous like Maverick.

Most of the time i find myself not even reading back the squawk. Nine out of ten times the controllers dont say anything and simply comeback with radar contact. If i plug in the wrong numbers, theyll let me know. I dont really see the need to readback anything at all.

I meant more along the lines of when somebody is picking up clearance on the ground somewhere, but I understand what you are saying about getting a squawk in the air.
 
Anyone bothered by other pilots saying "THREE AYY EFF" instead of the phonetic....or "THREE JAY TEE" It seems like a lot of the corporate guys are saying stuff like that.

My arch nemesis is the King Air that always calls up on approach as "5-7-Sugar-Charlie.":bandit:
