  • New best air traffic control compilation (ATC) interesting, weird and funny conversations between pilots and tower, from new york jfk airport to australian tower. A pilot needed his wallet dropping from one cockpit because he left it on the aircraft. Credit for some of the audio from liveatc.net

      What is a cockwomble?
      It's obviously a derogatory term but I'm not from the UK, I assume it's UK slang, so I've never heard it before.
      Nvm I looked it up and got two examples; the first is a foolish person however if you're job is saving people's lives I doubt you're foolish, which just leaves obnoxious and I see no evidence in your comment pointing in that direction.

      This is why ATC conversations should not be conducted in english. American flights into China should now be forced to speak Chinese or else face a nation-wide ban. Half the world wasn't around when these "international" "standards" were made; time for new rules, and then we'll see who is more "smart" in such communications. The americans will be reminded that this is no "air france" who can only reply "ahhh ookay" to a controller who thought sarcasm would be more clear than direct responses.

      @Morrismanstanson The Pretty Good Thank you for going over, under, and around this faculty called reading comprehension, but no one mentioned "better at international flight", whatever that means. What China does have is a population which has less of an affinity for self congratulating gimmicks in international affairs. Moreover, seeing as clear, direct communication is always preferred in the transport business over language that adds to one's cognitive load, ATC in Chinese would have zero trouble beating the low bar that is. Btw, China has seen enough foreigners milking the Chinese for money while trashing China. Consequently, for your personal safety, you really ought not to visit. Thank you for electing to f off on ur own, and pls don't shrill again like u did when u were banned.

    The best giggle I got was a time, some years ago now, a DC3 was coming into the Terrace British Columbia airport flying over the Kitimat beacon. DC 3 had a noisy cockpit, so not surprisingly pilot and copilot were wearing good headphones. Pilot called into Terrace traffic his position and altitude. Suddenly another voice came over the airwaves “Hey! You can’t be at that height over Kitimat beacon; WE are coming in over the beacon at that height. There follows a few brief moments of tension, then “ You dummy! I’m your captain!” Must have been some memorable conversations once that pair landed!

When you key the mic, you have to pause before speaking or else the first fraction of a second gets cut off. Or, if ATC radio doesn't work like that, then he began speaking before he keyed his mic, so that transmission at 1:38 is more distressing to me than a pilot abbreviating his callsign. That's a controller who needs a refresher in basic radio communications.

    For those interested, in the case of the 2010 emergency on American Airlines Flight 2, they were already at emergency fuel, and company policy forbade them from landing on runway 22R with the wind gusting as it was, even though the airplane was still within its limits. (For those who don't understand why the pilots wouldn't push the company's limits in favor of the airplane's higher limits, in aviation, and especially with older companies, such as American Airlines, safety culture is pretty important. Planes have been lost because pilots overestimated the plane or underestimated the forces exerted on the plane.) I imagine they were already a priority aircraft and believed that they had communicated their situation with ATC adequately. Thus, even though it probably could have been worded better, they requested runway 31R, and then declared an emergency. Once an airplane declares an emergency, they are the number one traffic and basically get to request that others move out of their way- crying wolf will get you in trouble, but low fuel and bad weather are generally good reasons to declare an emergency.
    I found a longer clip of this incident and there's a big change in the pilot's voice once they're on the ground. In the air, the pilot's voice is the voice of a terrified man who has steeled himself in the face of a stressful situation- I have spent my entire life learning to pick up on social cues manually, because my brain is not wired to do it automatically. This has actually made me better at reading people than most, and I am now capable of picking up on things that others don't because they don't have to focus on trying to receive these signals. Once the plane is on the ground, it's almost like they weren't even in an emergency situation- there's metric tons of tension that is noticeably absent once they're requesting taxi instructions.
    Mostly, it sounds like a failure to communicate clearly. The pilot on the radio should have *clearly* declared an emergency the moment they realized they couldn't land 22R instead of saying they would declare if they couldn't get 31R- the pilot obviously believed he had declared an emergency, but due to the poor wording, he actually hadn't. The ATC should have snapped into emergency mode after the second declaration, but that's the downside to "declaring an emergency" as opposed to the unambiguous nature of the "Pan-Pan" and "Mayday" calls- in this case, a Mayday call should have been used by the pilots. Everything ended well, and I believe that this incident contributed to America phasing out the ambiguous emergency declaration. Now, even though this was a minor incident, the NTSB still has to get involved. When the news heard about all this, they actually contacted the ATC union spokesman at Kennedy- one Steve Abraham. Many of us know him better as Kennedy Steve. He actually spoke in defense of the pilots, and if Kennedy Steve thinks you made the right call, you probably did. In the end, no one on the ground or in the plane got in trouble.

Contracting those can and has led to a passenger train being authorised into an occupied section unintentionally and in serious breach of the signalling regulations.
