Pilots who annoy me...

If you are drastially changing locations or altitudes when in the training environment then, yeah, position reports should be used. However, just blaring out your position every 2 minutes can be somewhat overwhelming to the radio frequency. There is a time and a place to make calls....

You civilian types will just never be as cool as us former military types.

The raw envy must keep you awake at night. :p

I hate when people say "no joy". Usually down around Corpus--Navy kiddos sayin it... But I've heard a lot of people that I assume have heard the Navy kids say it, and they now say it... Ugh. Ah well.

my first guess was a cirrus...

Hahaha me too. Exact same thing happened to me while in Jackson-Hawkins. Cirrus pilots always have the strobes on, even when I'm sitting on the bench at the end of your wingtip. Thanks for the temporary blindness, jerk.

Yeah but Cirrus owners are richer than you, thereby instantly rendering them more important. :sarcasm:

I was at KFCM (Flying Cloud Airport, MN) with < . > JEP yesterday, and we saw this guy nonchantly drive his car out on to the ramp to his Cirrus - completely oblivious to the fact that a helicopter was landing right where he was driving. Three unhappy ramp workers came after him with their batons after that. I'm sure he thought he was more important than the 'copter.

ATITPPA...:banghead: This simply shows that you are too self absorbed to properly listen to the radio for a few minutes before you arrive at an airport. The FAA is trying to get pilots to stop saying this.

Mile by mile position reports? Give the rest of us a break. Announce 10 miles, 5 miles, crossing or entering downwind and then the legs if there is other traffic. If someone is listening properly, announcing "clear of" whatever will make sense too. I KNOW the cherokee is using 22, so I now know he is clear of it.

Our local CAP talks incessantly on the radio. One day their plane was getting worked on. I found it hilarious that the push to talk button had to be replaced! They had worn it out! (I'm easily entertained.)

And please, repeat the name of the airport at the END of your radio transmission.
 
:yeahthat:




and i just dont believe that you would make fun of the CAP like that. Maybe you're just not talking enough.





oh yeah :sarcasm:

If practicing instrument approaches at an uncontrolled field, such as at KCGZ, I throw in a quick mileage following an FAF call over unicom ala: "CGZ, XXX, Roxie inbound, 4 mile final runway 5, CGZ." Just gives Joe VFR pilot somewhere to look for me, especially now with GPS IAPs, there are a good number of named waypoints that guys may not recognize.

Good call. That's what I do.

In a congested practice area, absolutely. Thats what I was refering to. I wont take my chances. We all leave plenty of space for others to chime in and if a TX is blocked, we will let them know, "blocked".

When arriving at an uncontrolled airport, I give it 20 miles out, then 10, 5 and pattern legs. But even if there is somebody yaking away every mile in the TP, I could care less. At least they're talking and I know where they are every step of the way. They just do it a little differently. ;)

Pilots who fly 500' and 500' offshore in what ever weekend warrior plane they can rent. That giant 40x100 sign with a beer bottle on it moving at the same rate as me gives me a reason to be that low, what is yours?

hey now, Flying below the class B at JFK to get to the Hudson corridor requires that ;)
 
double :yeahthat:

Anything that has to remain clear of the bravo goes 500' along the shore weaving in and out of herds of banner towers.

Non-controlled airports have an active runway or runways, its whatever you decide by nature of it being uncontrolled. Airports can have multiple active runways... if I decide to land on runway 9 and then you decide that you'd like runway 27 to be active, then while probably stupid but since both runways would be "in use" both runways would be active runways.
Click to expand...
You are correct in that the pilot decides which is the active at a non-towered field. But when I hear a guy state he is taking off or landing on the active how do I know which rwy he is using. In that respect, his communication was lacking. It would be better if he identified which rwy...and by reason that he is using that rwy, it is obviously the active.
 
Ok, I do have one...

If you're a flight of four please don't say "Cool Name Flight of four RV-7's blah blah blah blah blah blah" on upwind, turning crosswind, on crosswind, turning downwind, on downwind, on downwind midfield, on downwind abeam the numbers, turning base, on base, turning final, on final, on short final, and on the go...

also, when there's already a pattern going at an uncontrolled field, don't split into two flights of two and start doing overhead breaks to both the runway already in use and the crossing runway AT THE SAME TIME.

I know it's your sky and we just fly in it... but come on people ;)
