View Full Version : Funny Exchange over the Airwaves

Despite being a little grumpy today at having to work on a nice public holiday whilst all my mates were nursing a hangover and a few more tinnies, I did crack a laugh over a funny exchange i heard over Darwin Tower this morning.

A chopper was requesting some circuit work and seemed extremely vague and confused to say the least. Lots of repeated requests from tower for read backs and re-read instructions etc and a heap of non standard calls etc. The guy had that real bush drawl going on.

Anyways on coming back onto the frequency i heard old mate in the chopper being given a departure clearance to Kunnas and not being read back again. 3 mins later, Tower come back on with "Kunnunurra is to the South West sir and you are currently tracking South East". A sheepish reply followed. Had to have a good chuckle. 10 points to the girl on tower too for her patience!

Were a serious bunch most of the time so it does liven the day up to hear things out of the ordinary! :eek: Anybody else heard some funny stuff around the lately?

Aircraft: Tower we're picking up a paint on the screen about 3nm out with no altitude reported
Tower: Ahh yeah, that'd be the US Navy Destroyer..
Aircraft: But it has its transponder on??
Tower: Yeah, apparently it'll be on the entire time
Aircraft: That'd be right....

Yesterday also at Darwin :D

Just the other day at Moorabbin I heard a Warrior with 2 POB ready for departure at 17L for Mangalore I think, and when Tower told him to hold short he had to clarify what "hold short" meant! I couldn't believe my ears.

Years ago a certain flight line had two aircraft with sequential rego, lets call them BBA and BBB. A new PPL holder lodged a flt pln for a xcountry under BBA, took off in BBA and proceeded to make all calls quite normally and correctly; but as BBB. Tower probably recognised this was happening but didn't quite know how to acknowledge the calling a/c, BBA by the flight plan or BBB as it was being broadcast. In the end they had to ask,

"BBA, are you BBA or are you BBB?" No answer was the stern reply.

I remember a good few years ago a Delta Airlines was behind a Jersey European Shorts 360 at the holding point in Manchester when you heard the following in a strong american drawl.

FTDK, Didn't happen in Townsville airspace by any chance?

Now why would you think that? :E

Many, many years ago a mate of mine was taxying a C172 for TO at the old Brisbane airport, when he found himself passing in front of a B727 at a holding point.

When he gave the 727 crew a friendly thumbs-up, a voice came over the radio, "I'll suck you right in, son " !

A couple of weeks ak after departing EN on a CTA departure in an arrow, solid cloudbase at 4500, we were maintaining 3500, planned 6500

ATC XXX climb to 6500

Student : (in his loudest most commanding voice he could muster) Negative negative, we cannot climb to 6500, we must remain at 3500.

ATC: Oh righto then , maintain 3500

Me: Er sorry bout that, I was teaching him to be assertive, but.....not that assertive.

ATC: Dunno what he said next, he was laughing too hard to be understood

I might still slip over & come for a visit one day, if I can manage those bloody stairs!:-)
It was always a pet thing of mine to see how fast I could get to the rwy 17 holding point, obviously it was fast if you mentioned it here. I know some of my colleges would take 4ever to get going, times money on those jobs:ok:After 10 yrs & 5000 hrs on the one type it wasn't hard to light the two fires & present ready within a couple of mins:-) What did I do taxiing to the other holding points? Did all the checks I missed on the last flight taxiing to rwy 17 in a few seconds:E:E
Thanks for launching us so fast too CG, trust me some of the Dr's on board thought what was the hold up even when the oil pressure gauges where still thinking about moving:E

On the ground at YMEN last year.

GND "XXX hold short rwy 17"

GND "XXX you hav entered RWY 17, take next exit on your right"

XXX "Next right exit" - heavy Asian tone

GND "XXX You have passed the exit take the next exit on your right, that is RWY 26"

XXX "Take next right RWY 26"

GND "XXX you have missed the RWY 26, continue Taxi to the end of the runway and turn right cross all runways and taxi ways, taxi to the school and call your instructor".

Absolutely pissed myself, pitty about the B200 going around RWY35 during all this.

Triple, once you know what you are doing starting and shutting down a turbine, once you understand the metallurgy of of a turbine, they are simpler than a piston to manage engine wise. Leaves you a lot more time to manage the other stuff. In my opinion the most difficult to manage was the Cheiftain (turbo-charging and all that).

Ask any skydive flyer who's done a run in a turbo charged piston and a turbine what's easier to manage? Especially on the descent.

Yr right 'Jack' turbines especially the PT 6 are a simple beast to operate. As`long as the oil was warm enuf it's go go go:ok:At times my biggest hold up was the Med team getting their seat belts organized prior to launching, full harness can go a lot of strange ways when yr rushed:ok:

'GD01' That's funny to the point where it might have been me having to go-around as there where a few times when the poor guys at EN twr couldn't get a word in (as in cleared to land) whilst an Asian student was blurting out exactly what he had been taught, no lateral thinking what so ever. With this in mind I used to keep one eye on a green light comin' from the guys lofty perch, BAK, always wondered whether that was a waste of study time:ok:

From my days at Moorabbin - for those who remember 'big bird' (aka warren sparrow) he's still around doing earth angel duties for Angelflight on a regular basis. The second one was only relayed to me so I can't be sure of it's veracity.

XXX: MB tower, XXX ready runway 17L.
MB Tower: XXX wrong frequency this is tower east - contact Moorabbin Tower on 118.1. Oh, and by the way, that's not a taxi-way - that's the perimeter road. You might want to check your prop for dings.

AND

Two students both on first solo - one on final, one approaching then going straight past the holding point onto the runway.

MB Tower: XXX, clear the runway ...(no response)..... XXX, clear the runway....(no response). YYY, go around.

YYY: YYY going around.

YYY continues the approach, XXX still sitting on the runway.

Tower: YYY, go around.
YYY: Going around

.....continues approach, XXX hasn't moved. Tower at this point is ready to push the crash button. YYY apparently lands short, weaves around XXX ('going around') then taxis off the runway and back to the school.

Apparently one of the few times they had to call two different schools over the same incident.

Reminds me of one pleasant summers evening sitting at the Aero Club in Shep doing a bit of study when a Piper Warrior turned up.
A young chap of Asian appearance steps out and as he looked a bit lost I wondered over for a chat.

Was a bit hard to understand him, but he wasn't sure where he was and wanted to know which way Mangalore was and so I just pointed south and said that way. He was mighty keen to get going and so I pointed out that its probably 20 mins away at least and it was not far off dark.

By this stage I thought something was a bit odd and started probing for a bit more info and turned out he was on his first solo to the training area got horribly lost and had been in the air for about 3 hrs.

Managed to pursuade him to stay on the ground despite his protests that he would "be sent back to China" if any one found out.

Had a bit of a look around his plane to try and find a ph number for someone to ring. Was no info in plane but eventually got from him the name of the school and was able to track someone down.

Turned out they had been looking for him, calling on his radio (which he had turned down) and SAR were well and truly searching for him as well.

I felt pretty sorry for this young bloke and couldn't help but wonder if he was a victim of poor training and was not ready for a solo flight or if it was just a major stuff up that could have ended in disaster?

That one about the 2 first solo students at YMMB is incredible.

Landing short and then weaving around another aircraft near the threshold:ok:
What that student lacks in airmanship/common sense/basic radio telephony they sure make up for in confidence. (I am reading that as touched down short and then weaved around the other aircraft at speed whilst decellerating, if it was landed and stopped short and then taxi'd around and off the runway that's not quite as impressive)

And I know it shouldn't as getting lost to/from the training area is pretty serious but the one about the Mangalore student had me in tears.

You don't have to be a student to land and overtake another aircraft on a runway. :=

A large group of aircraft flew into Alice Springs one day. They were all members of an owners group. They swamped the poor guy in the tower, especially as several were flying in a loose gaggle with only very basic radio procedure. :uhoh:

However, the icing on the cake was when one aircraft landed (runway 12) and missed the first two exits. The following aircraft proceeded to land (long) and merely drove around the preceding aircraft. The guy in the tower went ballistic and strong words were said. :mad: Didn't help the guy in the tower though who was stood down while an inquiry into the whole mess was held. :sad:

Rumor has in the not so distant past a certain Darwin based operator departed Alice Springs (in a C210? I can't remember) and not long after departure lost electrics. He elected to continue to Darwin with pax and nothing allegedly working 'cept the fan at the front. Upon approaching Darwin he contacted the tower on his mobile and, as far as I know, landed normally. His Melbourne-based CP was not amused though.

Wally, the days of Ace and the fun from EN Tower: try approaching at night, VFR, when Ace decides to turn out all the airfield lights!

Or the ATIS when it was recorded by a real voice, and with Ace it would always be Information Echo, echo, echo ;)

No doubt there may have been a few here who fly at MB and heard me stuff up my inbound location call to MB Tower last month. They were quite good about it, offered me a free Melway if I wanted to visit the tower after landing :p

Maybe thread drift a little, but I always liked this one. It was from my AIRTC days when we were practising RT on base for field craft with some new UHF hand helds, the two groups only 50m apart:

Alpha: Bravo, Radio check.
Bravo: Alpha, you are weak and unreadable.
Alpha: Bravo, you are fat and unbearable.

Its sort of like the "behind the fokker" one where you pray for the day you get to use it for real :}

Runway lights are never an issue, but the big, dark void with no lights whatsoever was a bit of a giveaway ;) Re the SIII, it was fun doing my PPL in it, especially the examiner who told me I had to be endorsed to use the VOR/DME to divert. Only 40 IR renewals at the time :p It was sold on through a dealer, sadly.

Chief Galah (MP?), never out of the saddle, knocking hard on 15k these days. I'll send an invite to the party :ok:

Back on topic, I was on Tulla Tower when RJ Hawke's VIP Falcon had a rejected takeoff. Report to tower was along the lines of 'aborting, left engine problem'.

To which the tower snappily replied:

"No problems with the Right Wing, then?"

About the time Hawke was having factional party issues with his right wing Labor louts :D

This link is on a 'par' with at least two memorable exchanges I have heard during the course of 'FSO'-ing.

One was in the Pilbara when a certain pilot was describing the 'desolate, unpopulated' country he was dropping dog baits on in the early 70's, and he couldn't quite identify just the #@&%^*+&%# where he was at the time.....
He had a stuck mike button for 30mins - from one 'sked' to the next......and the exchanges with his crew lasted the whole 30mins...mmm...

On his next call to Hedland, he was very politely told that we new he was 'ops normal' and his approx position......mmm.... 'OH!#@' was the response...

And the other was the pilot to camera operator of a Duke climbing to FL's over Kal. for high level photos.....
and the '#@&*^+_*&% heater wouldn't work.....and his #@$%^ feet were getting *&^%$# frozen....mmm......and he had to come back....mmmm....

These were the most 'interesting'......

Then there's this one

When I was flying in NZ I heard a student call up woodbourne for a clearance into the zone on track to Omaka.
Twr: What is your position?
Student: ( with Asian accent ) I am over the Ferry at 2500'
Twr: I will need a better position report than that
Student: I am passing over the funnel nnnnnnnow....

These are two real ones from just the last week.

Chinese Heavy calls up on my frequency and is not mine.
"Chinese Heavy, Return to previous frequency"
" Chinese Heavy Roger, could you advise what it was"


Inbound Jet to Sy asks for an appreciation of the weather closer in. Aeropelican ( C/S Pelican ) 50nm North.
Pelican123 gives a report. Jet says " Howabout that a talking Pelican"

Hope the fun police don't find out.

Here goes my 10 cents:

Glider: TWR, request crossing CTR
TWR: hold position and altitude
Glider: uhm, we're a glider
TWR: Ah, ok, cleared to cross CTR :sad:

And one for the oldies (surprised no one posted it already)
Not sure if it is authentic, but it's funny to me.

American airliner vacated runway at Frankfurt and holds on taxi way, pilots are looking for their gate.
FRA TWR: xxx, why are you stopping?
xxx: we can't find the gate
FRA TWR (irritated): it's not that difficult is it? Haven't you been here before?
xxx: well, yes I have, some 65 years ago, but I didn't stop here!

Similar typical EU joke:

German airspace, small aircraft starts transmitting in German
ATC: xxx, repeat your request in English
plane: why sjould I speaka Engelish? I am a Djerman in a Djerman plane in Djerman airspace; why sjould I speaka Engelish?
Voice over radio in perfect English: Because you lost the bloody war!

Not on the airwaves but legendry coord by a male approach controller to a female approach controller.

"I'm going to come hard right inside your Shorts" :eek:

Don't know what the reply was.
