Heard on the airwaves
QF 706 the other morning ADL-CBR was part way thru his SID when he was given track shortening to a waypoint (#) almost at his destination.
In a disbelieving tone, he asked for confirmation. Yes, cancel the SID and track direct to # And his reply to Approach...." Looks like I should have you rostered on for all my flights! " |
G'day Zwecky,
During a visit to YPAD last week, upon departure I was given direct tracking to my destination (540nm's to the north) basically abeam YPAD on climb. Was probably the same controller, :D. |
When I was working at PF, I used to regularly hear some of the freighters get "cleared direct to a 10 mile final RWY 34 SY" by AD App.
How good is that? |
A B737 pilot the other day was so keen to get to his destination that he asked for " short trackening "
What do they call a tongue-twister like that? |
I think it's called "Spooking in Speanerisms" (Speaking in Spoonerisms)
Rob, you should know that 9 out of 5 pilots are dyslexic! :D |
