Now I know this sounds like it is provocative - BUT - I think pilots (which I was or am one) should acknowledge their debt to 'Talking Traffic Lights'. It may be hard - but think about it.
They have saved my big bottom on a number of ocassions - one example:
'Charlie Bravo Foxtrot - are you aware that you are about to penetrate SY control zone (obviously without a clearance) - you are 10 nm west of xxxx''
'Sy - CBF - affirm - thanks for that'
I execute a rapid 90 degree turn to staboard and get back on track. I was actually unsure of position at the time in extreme VFR condistions and not feeling very confident.
What a great call - and I am sure that SY ATC were watching and looking out for me.
DISCUSS.
Thanks chaps - and chapettes
