Speevy,

Have you ever seen a "not too ugly woman" chasing a men?? a te le cosiderazioni!!

Oh and you are in Italy when the word POSH means a huge villa in costa smeralda with big boat parked at the front and a ferrari at the back, and not a stupid skinny girl from Greater Manchester.( but at least her houseband knows where Italy is)

When a cappuccino is just a cappuccino, not small medium or large.

When your MATE in the flightdeck while crusing after a small bump doesn`t says " I say PAL that spilled my tea this defenetly worth the effort to put the fasten seat belt sign on!!" era meglio il meno elegante "aho ma che e`.. mettie un po a sede va"

When you don`t need a mental model like PIOSEE to go the toilette or to fly a plane!!( or at least if you use it don`t say it loud)
(Problem,Information,Options,Select option,Execute,Evaluate)

Cheers lads

- when ATC ask you just airborne to cross 10 DME at FL280 or above...

- when ATC ask if you're able to cross 10 DME at FL280 or above otherwise you have to wait at the holding point...and you answer "we're able"..independently if you are on a F104 or a C152...

- when they mention WING ENGINE ANTI ICE during the briefing, even in summer with temps above 30 degrees

- when they switch on WX RADAR during departure and approach with clear skies und unlimited vis, but for reasons "...just in case..."

- when you have to divert to your filed alternate, and you are not allowed to do so, because you have to ask for permssion before and it's not accepted for whatsoever reason

- if they write down, date and time of atc-frequency change, the frequency itself, and all what is said by the atcos, even with a fully operational CVR and DVDR.

- and they do so also on very short flight with hundres of frequency changes but just on the way from the north to the capital. means one is a "recording clerk" the other one single-hand flying

you're in italy cause if a direct route is a request coming from a female voice is always available..and if you have to request a direct the girl (if on board) speaks

if you have to choose who's 1st between an italian a/c an a foreign one you put italian cause they don't follow standard speeds..

If you ask IAS to an italian they say "270 kt" , that's the same of the foreign one flying at same altitude.. but observed GS is different...

When you say to DLH/BAW to descent they comply instead of asking: do we have to live now? (italian way)

You're in Italy when ATC has not idea of pilot needs and viceversa..

You're in Italy when accidents/incidents is the only way to change wrong things (but real guiltys never pay)

Capisco il senso goliardico e hai ragione SNAM si deve migliorare l'ATC, ma chi è senza peccato scagli la prima pietra...e i piloti è meglio mettano le mani dietro alla schiena! Io la penso come APOLLO... è scocciante leggere sempre spesso gente che parla dietro all'italia, parla dietro a chi lavora in italia...come se all'estero fossero tutti fighi, tutti bravi, tutti onesti, tutti professionisti, tutti meritocratici. ...ma ripeto, capisco il senso goliardico e molto di quanto è scritto è vero. Forse sarò io che non comprendo ancora certi tipi di umorismo nordici quindi scusatemi

Per i sarcastici del "sei pilota" mi spiace deluderli, rispondo si sono pilota e non capisco la domanda altrimenti mi sarei iscritto in un forum di salumieri, ho i vostri stessi titoli di volo sia faa che jaa, non mi sento di una virgola meno di voi a prescindere dal mezzo che si usa come non mi sento di una virgola migliore io di voi... detto questo sinceramente ho trovato pecche anche fuori Italia e io non credo che siamo nel 3 mondo come molti sostengono, non solo come controllo ma anche a terra, come avere a che fare con handling in certi aeroporti internazionali importanti i cui servizi di terra parlano solo la loro lingua e zero inglese oppure hai a che fare col catering e poi pensi che se invitavi tua cugina faceva più bella figura...posso dirlo dal momento che mi occupo io pure di queste cose...come organizzare un rifornimento in un Ginevra e il servizio a terra non sa nemmeno che fuel significa benzina oppure atterri in un Nizza con Fax PPR stampato in mano e rispondono che non cè parcheggio e non sanno chi te lo ha approvato chiedendoti il nome della persona con cui hai avuto a che fare...o a Innsbruck che, forse abituati al loro habitat, ti lasciano in ghiaccio nonostante tu dici che sei in difficoltà perchè da solo ai comandi...ce ne sarebbe da raccontare anche fuori....
Detto questo, mi farebbe piacere che si aprisse un bel post anche con tutte le puttanate che molti sedicenti piloti professionisti (che magari chiedono agli altri se sono piloti col sottotitolo "sciacquati la bocca prima di parlare con me" ) dicono ai controlli. Non penso ce ne sarebbero di meno.
Cmq ragazzi non litighiamo, non ce l'ho con nessuno

when you destination is CIA and you get everytime from ROME the BOL3A, a star for FCO, instead of BOL3F...and when you ask to confirm the 3A...they confirm you the star for FCO, they change it only if you remind them your real destination...

(Not strictly aviation related)

You know you are in Italy...

.When
"ALLOWED" means "ALLOWED",
"FORBIDDEN" means "ALLOWED",
"STRICTLY FORBIDDEN" means "ALLOWED AT YOUR DISCRETION";

.When there's ALWAYS someone else to blame;

.When the only things with a teutonic efficency are the criminal organizations;

.When there are 60 millions of football coaches, 60 millions of Prime Ministers, 60 millions of...

.When you can find the finest food and the most beautiful women in the whole world.

P.S. Un pò OT, ma neanche troppo:

You now you REALLY are in Italy when:

- 2 minutes after touchdown, the F/O takes out the mobile phone to call his Mama, and much, much later his wife/girlfriend (quite often both)

You know you are in Italy when...

- You land at a heliport in Pescara for fuel and after merely an hour's wait it is delivered. The fuel truck driver then demands payment in cash - dollars, pounds or Swiss francs - not lire. (In the days before the Euro)

- You file VFR from Brindisi to Corfu in a JetRanger helicopter which accepted. After 20 mins airborne, ATC tells you that "your FP is now IFR, to climb to 7000 feet, etc... as it is now sunset".


You know you are near a former USSR state when...

- On handover from Turkish ATC, the Georgian ATC instructs you to "climb to and maintain 27,000 feet..." when he KNOWS that you are a helicopter

Murumur (scusa la licenza poetica), continuo L'ot, fantastico quando cice:

gli inglesi si sentono sempre come a casa loro, soppratutto a casa degli altri..

It's a way to say in Italy:" No turn the knife into the wound"! It's mean...Not to act cruelly.

You know you're in Italy when the fuelling guy doesn't come onboard after refuelling because he's not covered by insurance and because he cannot leave his truck unattended so you have to go downstairs to sign the receipt leaving the whole aircraft unattended and without cover should you slip on the wet apron as his pen get stuck into your eye....

Nothing in the above posts is 'cruel'.

It's just, well - Italian.

Every nation has its own quaint ways that makes it unique.

The correct meaning of the 'turning knife' thing is the English 'Don't rub it in'

Ragazzi io direi che forse basta così, due risate ce le siamo fatte ma siccome è quasi tutto vero, il ridere per non piangere dopo un pò stucca anche perchè è molto tricolore e da molti estremisti esterofili mi aspetterei più uno stiff lip all'inglese!
Ricordiamoci che possiamo essere fighi quanto ci pare, lavorare per la più tosta compagnia straniera ma quando ti guardano, almeno all'inizio, sempre italiano sei con tutti i pregiudizi e luoghi comuni del caso, professionali e non.
E noi non siamo meglio, non vedo fenomeni qui ne chi lavora all'estero, come me per altro, può pontificare essendosi rifatto una verginità o avendo visto la luce.
....che se ci prendeva AZ c'andavamo tutti di corsa.......

You are definetly in the southern part of Italy when the Handling Agent shows up in the Cockpit and the first words are :

incomming "LOT**** Captain"

( it is not a strange name , rather a Loadsheet.....)

Cao Pitty, io ti rispondo in italiano e non me ne frega niente se lo capisci oppure no visto che sei sul forum Italia...ma per lo meno noi in italia, capiamo sempre gli stranieri che parlano un italiano a dir poco approssimativo....in inghilterra se non pronunci le parole correttamente non capiscono una mazza, e manco fanno lo sforzo di capirti, quindi non so quale dei due sia meglio!
