Where's that? As its a little backwards. The ac should be ideally calling localiser established before it goes to ILS monitor. 4.5 miles ideally for the gear, then clearance at 4. Surface wind should be after a positive clearance is obtained.

It might be our location, but up north getting aircraft up and gone to the next agency can be a bit of a pain as its mostly landline works, getting traffic info and calling bloody windfarms. So there maybe only little chat to the aircrew, there's about twice as much on lines :(

Poor Widger. It can be a pretty hard school round here.

Almost as bad as Students, when they get the call 'Tower this is Ghostrider, requesting Fly-by' they respond with 'Ghostrider join runwway.......'


'No....stop stop stop. What is the correct reply?'

Blank looks all round!


What do they teach yoofs in school these days?
