good to talk!

EGPK certainly encourage it!

I heard someone call into Prestwick Tower on Saturday - just passing thru. ATC said 'thanks for calling - gave him some traffic info and QNH/QFE info'. Said info was ack'd and thanked for and ATC replied - 'have a good afternoon and thanks for calling in'

great attitude and v helpful ATC at EGPK (pretty standard at P'wick) Hey gets my vote!

Thanks ATC guys n gals - watched a programme on Discovery Wings ref ATC - stressful job! One controller explained how she accidentall merged two plots and thankfully all survived - she told how it shook her up for over a year after WOW!

My instructor said 'if in doubt give em a call' they will soon tell you if they are busy!

regards
