My shot at it...
Alright, my shot at this:
You know you’re flying in S. America when:
-
Most of your approaches have a “committed to land” Altitude
-
Your routes and airports have High Altitude engine out procedures
-
There is a huge difference in “Radar Contact” and “under Radar surveillance”
-
ATC asks you to confirm your Aircraft registration (for billing information)
-
ATC requests you to reduce speed but increase your sink rate
-
Center Control tells you to maintain maximum forward velocity during your descend but approach asks you to slow to final approach speed 26 miles out.
-
Even Instructor Pilots waste 3800ft of runway floating just to land as smooth as possible so that the passengers clap.
-
You’ve been to all these interesting places but were too tired to go to see the attractions.
-
The FO helps out the Captains on their Check ride and still gets a nasty critique.
-
The FO in a wide body aircraft looks so young, the FA’s call him “THE UM”!
All the best...
