But it's always nice to hear when a pilot or a controller speaks in languages... For a Finnish pilot it's always great to hear when some controller tries to say: "Terve", "Moi" or sth like that in our language, that's why I try to say the greetings to controller in his/her language - if I remember the right way to do it

What is a f**k knuckle anyway?
I've searched several adult websites and found no mention of one.
Is it some sort of top secret weapon military pilots use on each other in the shower?

Hi gentlemen,
It would appear that I owe you all an apology! Having checked my postings on this forum, there are at least two which I haven't posted myself.
I think that some wag has been at my computer while I was at the tea bar. That'll teach me to leave my profile open eh?
Apologies if my absent mindedness, and someone elses "sense of humour" has caused any genuine offence.
(And for the record, I'm not entirely sure what a f*ck knuckle is, aside from being a matey term for a person who is not well loved).
It does have a ring to it though!
Regards.
QFIhawkman. (The **** knuckle).

I'll go with Heathrow Director on this one (not so much the chugalug though!) It was then, is now and always shall be, "g'day", s'far as I'm concerned.
Having said that, it's all wrong anyhow, 'cos there aint nowhere I ever saw nor know of now where it's standard R/T, so EVERYONE can knock it off!
There's another thread alive about excessive R/T loading (vis-a-vis reading back six digits for frequencies etc). Aren't we all missing the point here?

Mostly I say 'bu-bye' and sometimes 'good luck'. But if it unsettles the English, I think I'll say 'good luck' just that little bit more often....
'Tara f**knuckle', mmm what an interesting addition to section E that'd be!
RMGrommits-"If a controller is too hung up on standard RT then they are going to have high BP and an early cardiac." Phew, that's me saved from the scrapper then.

Up here at the Ice Station we get the Norwegian pilots (and some locals) who say "So long".
This gets shortened to "S'long" which then, inevitably, gets shortened even further to "Slong"!!

The one time I said "bye" instead of "bye-bye", I was giving a frequency change and the pilot took it as being 5, (i.e 118.75 instead of 118.7), which is why I think most controllers say "bye-bye".
But I guess now with this 6 digit stuff it would be 118.750 so should I revert to a single bye? Or do I really care?
