Checkboard, nobody talked about leaving "it too late", I just find it totally bloody insane that this discusion is even going on,if you have to dodge/avoid a CB or whatever why in Gods name are you asking?
Then don't take part in it. I asked a simple question about what is the standard ICAO phraseology.
"Excuse me , can I have permision not to kill myself and all the SLF in the back?" I can only asume that the original poster is a muppet or a self sponsored P2f
I can only assume that you are....... nevermind.
,
yesterday, we flew to and from to CYTZ during a period of fairly unstabe air, I didnt have to explain to the young lady doing all the work while I contemplate my navel that she should avoid the big Cauliflower on our track,
Good for you. I flew around a typhoon yesterday. At one point I was not able to get any response on HF and I *gasp* left the airway without a clearance. According to you I must have been too stupid to go around it since I couldn't get "permission."
"Toronto, we need to go left or right to avoid a CB, your choice" cant remember which way we went but we sure as hell didnt ask/beg permision to do it,
I've used that same phrase here and went round and round with "You want left or right" for the next 5 transmissions. Must be nice to have native English controllers for every flight.
And Checkrboard, dont be suprised that Ive survived, not only have I made it but all 324 pilots who have worked for us have, not many small outfits flying in this bloody climate can say this, again,
You're one in a million I guess.
I find this whole post to be totally of the wall
Then don't post on it. It was a simple, black and white question about is there an ICAO standard phrase or not.
