Pilot Slang on Radios

We could always ask Foxtrot Xray as he's our ATC guy here at JC!

But I'm sure some 15 hour student pilot would want to argue with him! ;) :sarcasm:

You got proof of that?

Foxtrot Xray = Air Traffic Controller.

I don't know what the answer is but by all means lets be resourceful about this.

On another note, we were #6 in line for takeoff in SLC today as a pretty sizeable thunderstorm passed over the field. Gusty winds, precip, the whole nine.

One plane decides to taxi back to the gate because of the windshear.

Another pilot chimes in on the radio and says, "Ran out of that fancy book knowledge, eh?"

Charlotte Approach has a guy that uses an Auctioneer stlye to give altitudes. Pretty funny, but gets old after a while. And who can forget the PIT Approach guy who says Seeee Yaaaaa!

That's what I call a "microsoft post"

You've given me accurate information, but it has nothing to do with my question, and did not tell me anything I didn't already know.

:D

Has FX told us whether it was FAA direction or NATCA? - if he did I missed that part of his post.

My question was to aloft - does he have any proof of his claim?

Ok - please resume your regularly scheduled flamethrowing ...
 
Going to PSP from LAX, we come over the mountains around 110 or 130 and have to get down fast. Drop the gear, push the props, and swing it around the hills at 2-3000'/minute. I was coming in one day and was told to follow a Galaxy on a 10 mile dogleg. That's pretty close to our approach, so I asked if we needed to widen it out.

ATC: No. The usual Scarewest approach should work just fine.

Me too. Stupid RP taking the flying on the 170. Oh... and Airways downsizing PIT... and AWAC getting the north east flying.
 
Max I think he retired. He is one of a kind.
We took him for a ride in the Supertug and he called up to the tower and told the shut the southside down that is where we were headed and he was driving.
 
Sitting in the run up area at JAX one day, a flight of 4 Guard F-15's takes off in front of us. The instructor calls tower to advise ready for departure and requests permission to do a max-performance take-off. Controller radio's back Seminole XXXX cleared for take-off, lets see whatcha got. After rotation the controller keys up with a WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO.
 
My captain this month is religious about being over block but 20 early back home. On our last leg of the night out of PIT we got stuck behind a couple Piedmont Dashes and we were speed restricted to 170 in the climb and then 150 once we leveled off (250 is our normal). We were also vectored way off course for spacing. He's bored, sarcastic, and anxious to get back.

Departure: "Colgan XXXX contact Cleveland Center on XXX.XX and report your speed restricted to 150 behind the Dash"
My Captain: TELL HIM BEHIND THE TRASH!!
Me: "XX.XX behind the trash, Colgan XXXX"
Departure: "Good one..."
 
Me: Topeka Tower, Cessna XXX Clear 31 at Bravo.
Tower: Cessna XXX you are clear taxi across 18/36 direct for Biscuits and Gravy.

Food is about the only attraction at Billard I guess.
 
AT North Las Vegas we have one of the guys in the tower, when he's on ground he'll always say something like:

"Cessna 62G, Welcome back! Cross runway 12R at H, taxi to parking, monitor ground."
 
Once with Air Support, tower called us as traffic to ..I think it was Vision:

(we get our fair share of jokes)

TWR: "Vision xx, traffic 3 o'clock, 4,000, departing southwestbound, is a flight of three shiny Cessna 150's"

Vision: "We got the Jesus Jets."

Well, here's a Dell support technical service answer.

Durka durka, I can't help you then, durka.

Ask the resident ATC rep what the issues are. If you're unwilling to do so, it's outside of the scope of the website. We're all about first hand knowledge.
