"Cut that out from your transmissiom"

Was sitting number 2 or 3 today for RWY22 at, and a beautiful fleet bipe was on his way into the pattern. He was anouncing all of his calls the proper way, begning and ending them with "Santa Paula." Then damn leader of Chinese Airforce (a couple of guys who own CJ-9's) starts telling the guy not to finish with "Santa Paula," and stops just short of harassing the guy.

Some people are so overconcerned with themselves and their time, that they can't put up with the extra .7 seconds it takes to make a proper radio call. On 22.9, at SZP, we sometimes hear guys useing the wrong freq. for Auga Dulce, so hearing the name of the airport realy helps.

If you read this bud, come find me, so we can have a little talk. Send me a PM.
 
Wasn't me...all our guys are Japanese. :D I think it's definitely proper to announce the airport of use on a CTAF because there are so many shared frequencies in the valley and the uncontrolled strips out on the coast. Besides, what happens if you don't catch it at the beginning of the TX. I hate just entering on downwind at a couple of the places out here and just hearing the tail-end of the announcement for somebody else turning downwind because we have way too many runways that are all on the same mag heading.
 
Yeah, no kidding. We've got an exceedingly large training population all learning radio calls up here. We train to say the airport name at the start and finish of every radio call as we've got a TON of 17/35 and 12/30 and 13/31. So when all you hear is downwind, the next call is always:

Last aircraft, say airport.

Def agree. I flew down to Wharton the other day, about 60 miles from base and it is the same freq used as the outlying airports around EFD. So definitely worth saying the airport in thebeginning and end of the TX.
 
I really don't know if it's the right or wrong way, but I have gotten into the habit of saying the airport name on both ends also.
 
I always say it at the beginning and end. Its actually made me catch my mistake in using the wrong airport name a couple times.

That's how I was taught to do it at an uncontrolled field.

Not like I have an AIM sitting around the hotel room here, though!

To my dear aviation God:

I thought you can download AIM from FAA web site. :p

[duck for cover]

To OP, that is how I learned also. Airport name at the begining and the end
 
Proper response from you would have been:

"It's ok CJ guy, I left my FAR/AIM at home today too"
 
AIM said:
Recommended self-announce phraseologies: It should be noted that aircraft operating to or from another nearby airport may be making self-announce broadcasts on the same UNICOM or MULTICOM frequency. To help identify one airport from another, the airport name should be spoken at the beginning and end of each self-announce transmission.

No worries man. No matter how funny someone pronounces English words is that much funnier (foriegn) words are to their native speakers.

I was going to go more Type-A with something like "You can come over here to try and make me stop, or you can shut your flan-hole." :p

Funny you should say that, because I think this is the same guy who was more or less "put on the ground" by another one of our CFI's. He told the guy to come see him at his hanger, took a swing at our CFI, who promptly blocked the punch and did some kind of "uncle" hold to put him on his knees.
 
Speaking of corrective pilots, there were three Piper Malibus that were being ferried over the ocean that were on air-to-air/123.45 trying to coordinate their speeds so they don't run into one another and a couple guys were complaining about their transmissions and demanding that they find another air to air freq.

Air to Air, it ain't just for figuring out who won some stupid baseball game...
