Egbo Again!!!
EGBO AGAIN!!
A conflict heard on the radio 22/8/03. Its on this tread because it involves an airfield based R22. The R22, with experienced instructor and student on board, having previously advised ATC prior to the commencement of the flight of their intention, had relocated to use the sloping ground. The ATC, started to dictate that proceedures had not been adhered to. The instructor very politely advised ATC that the correct procedure had been followed. However this was greeted by GRUNT from ATC "FOLLOW ATC INSTRUCTIONS OR GET OUT OF THE AREA"
What is the matter with this guy??? It common knowledge that some pilots now avoid EGBO if they know this chap is on duty.
Come on ATC provide a professional service or YOU get out of the area!!
SIGNED : another sympathetic heli pilot.
