A double -edged sword?
What if the controller's R/T was unclear? Was it ambiguous or misleading? Was a readback given....was it monitored?
The answer is on the recordings both of Radar and R/T. It's a brave controller who claims never to be wrong. I advise any pilot spoken to in such a way to say nothing apart from standard R/T interchanges......but to file a report with a view to running the tapes. The controller has the same options!
Experience over the years has proved that "he who says the most, digs the deepest hole".
RYR rate OK by me....and I control lots.....the pilots know their planes and what they can or can't do.....given a reasonable request of course.
