Do you ever get annoyed with PPL students?
I am currently doing my PPL at a controlled airport in the UK. At first, the thought of pressing that button and talking to ATC filled me with dread. Indeed, on my first ever call, my instructor made me write everything down and in addition to this, he made me pracrise it. I still made a bodge job of the call though!
But now, I am into the solo circuit bashing stage, so I wondered if you ever get annoyed with people like me, who say things like..
"Err..Errr...could you repeat that last bit G-**"
Also, in my tiny experience, I have noticed something odd. Whenever I finish my solo session, I always thank the people in the tower for their help, and I always get a reply to this compliment. They always say thank you, but they say it as if they don't usually get any words of thanks.
I just wondered what you thought of this. Are pilots and ATC a world apart, with one camp not really liking the other, or am I just speaking a load of b*****s!
