If I'm at FL245, something has gone very, very wrong.

That's okay buddy. You're only an ASSISTANT after all. We'll have to rely on the proper controllers to do the hard stuff.

Well you will go trusting an RAF AATC!

"Joint guardian 95, climb flight level 245"

"Your reply here!"

Chump? Probably. At least I'm not the chump prompting you to bust your ceiling.

And yet again, I don't have a dog. Never have.

You see? another copper that assumes before checking! As twoboats was told, I'm not AATC! It might supprise you to know that things aren't always what they seem! You'd have known that if you'd have read the full thread, but hey! Why change the habit of a lifetime? Why not just jump in with your size (and now I'm assuming) 9s?

I fly a helicopter, ceiling busts are a dream not an option. It's like an aeroplane but with a big propellor (you know; the thing that most of you lot should have on both shoulders).


Top tip. Buy a dog. You'll double your IQ over night.

So if ATC tell you to climb FL 25, and you climb FL 35, that's not a bust? I'm pretty sure it is.
I'm afraid that I don't have a big "propellor" on my shoulders, no. For the record I think the A/Cpl rank is needing replacing too. But only with something seperate from the RAF rank structure. (BTW, you surely MUST be aware that the rank is only given for charging purposes?) I don't hear anyone complaining about RAF PTI's getting acting Cpl rank (PAID) after training!!

So what helicopter do you fly? Green, navy and yellow or white?

No because there is no such thing as FL25. I think you mean FL250. You see it aint easy being an Air traffic controller.

Feel free to start a 'why don't they disband the RAF PTIs' thread, I guarantee it will be nearly as popular as this one. But I wouldn't expect too many replies from them, what with there being so many mirrors in the world and all

You see it aint easy being an Air traffic controller.
Not that I was one of course, alt given in feet up-until 3,000ft?

Lar you're dark to me.....

Clearly not! Renewed respect! You were quite right. Should have added that zero!
Anyway, my point remains extant. Helicopters can and do bust ceilings.

'Intelligence' has been mentioned regarding the plods, and of course it is a small world we all live in, so not everybody can get the 'top job', whether they be pilots or navs or shelf stackers or plumbers or plods.

As far as I am aware no RAF pilot or nav or shelf stacker has ever been elected chairman of MENSA, whereas one RAF Plod Cpl was some years ago. Probably another lined up for the post in due course...a worthy successor to Cpl Bill ******* who sadly passed away some years ago.

Depends on the Transition Altitude in effect for the area. In N. America it's 18,000ft.

Sure that wasn't the dog?

Isnt it intersting what order you put those jobs in with plods last behind plumbers.

Go on then. Point out my error....

Unless you mean the FL 25 thing.... As I'm not a AATC ATCO or a SATCO, then surely I can be forgiven that one????

I'm not bad at statements though, try me before you buy.... first one free!!

Cracking reply! Way to go that intelligent aircrewman there!
Sadly it's all a bit predictable really.... bit like the dig (from one of my own before you start) about navy boys being "soap on a rope" characters!

It's all bad and a waste of webspace. The dog and the gate things? Please stop before my sides split!
