EWR radios and radar fail again

[drunkenbeagle]

No because we’re not actually interested in fixing actual problems. Just the made-up boogeymen.

I think we should at least look at tweaking lost comms procedures. Because they seem to be getting more common, and not from the airplane side of the house.

I will be SO GLAD when the US adopts the "monitor Indianapolis Center on X" during frequency changes.

Another pet peeve -- using ICAO English for hours on end, hitting ANC center and then it's "anything goes" for a few hours, then back to ICAO English over Canada and then the "Minnneapolis, Airliner 123 checkin' in onboard at tree tree zerrah howyadoin' how are da rides"

I might have checked in with Toronto and a “how are ya now?”

EWR giving primary, secondary and tertiary frequencies like it’s an oceanic clearance…

Damn, asking for rides is bad? Asking for a 737.

Noooo just a pet peeve with non standard language and taking an inordinate period of time with the mic keyed. Everyone thinks they’re Rick Dees. LOL

Hey that’s me at 5:28! That stupid mother •er didn’t want to wait so departed VFR and then called me up asking for his clearances. He wound up climbing right through some guys that ZNY were holding at 7,000 and 8,000

And what’s with Delta asking to depart vfr for 40 miles? lol

95% of 121 airlines must be IFR within 50 miles of departing VFR. Opspec C077

Most guys don’t have a clue about that one.

VFR 121 is one thing, VFR 121 on a 1200 code stuck below the bravo with no radio and radar coverage seems a bit….extreme?
