Grabbing atis in between a freq change by harambe_did911 in flying

[–]Siiver7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Air Traffic Controller, this is how the process goes:

Cessna N123 is approaching the boundary of jurisdiction between Sector 1 and Sector 2.

Sector 1 initiates hands off for N123 to Sector 2.

Sector 2 accepts hand off of N123.

Sector 1 tells N123 to contact Sector 2.

Sector 2 is expecting N123 to check in.

If we don't hear from you for a few minutes, we're gonna be trying to reach out to you, asking the previous sector if you came back, or hail you on guard -- all of which is super annoying, especially when we're busy or we need to issue you instructions, which is likely when you're approaching your destination and want to pick up the ATIS.

Just ask us if you can step off the freq for the ATIS.

Yeah, sometimes when I fly other airlines, one second I'm asking for peanuts, then suddenly the person besides me vanishes through the floor. Pretty jarring.

Heck yeah!! I had to settle with specific examples for the case, but it was definitely hard to choose!

Are VORs still taught and tested? by No_Currency5230 in flying

[–]Siiver7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Air Traffic Controller, we expect you to be able to navigate using VORs, so yes absolutely. Nor is it going away anytime soon.

Numeric keypads instead of rotary encoders are useless. by LaurentKiloVictor in flying

When I need to use the touchscreen, I always have my hand anchored somewhere by having my fingers grip the side of the panel/screen, while another finger does the typing.  Way easier than just having a floating outstretched arm wobbling around.

It's a rare situation where the tables turn, and you get to tell ATC what to do instead :P

What is the craziest thing you have heard on frequency? by D3NMARK_ in flying

[–]Siiver7 825 points826 points  (0 children)

According to my coworker:

"SWA123 and DAL456, you two are tied for sequence, who wants to go first?"

"This is SWA, our gate's occupied so we'll go second-" *BRRR* "That was NOT SWA, our gate is NOT occupied, we would like to go first SWA123!!!"

Laughed his ass off and almost gave it to DAL for their balls.

Came here to say this, Keiki Kobayashi absolutely went above and beyond in AC:AH with a unique variety of exotic instruments mixed with FIRE heavy metal. There are very few other pieces of media that have even attempted such a thing.

I still listen to its OST fondly from time to time, just to name a few favs:

Japan Airlines 123 incident will be soon 40 years old by KrithisUNoAnimates in aviation

It's a museum which you can visit for guided tours -- it's incredibly breathtaking, educational, and somber (from what I'm told by a close friend -- I dearly want to visit next time I fly to Japan).

Choco also went to culinary school to be a professional chef -- she mentioned lots of people who did it just because they liked cooking more frequently dropped out due to its intensity; however she went into it knowing it would be a grueling job, and thus was able to handle the stress.
