Best Air Traffic controller is......
Sydney Approach Mr "Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeex". Makes me laugh everytime!
|
The canadian at Adelaide - not sure if he is still there - it's been a while since I've been that far south.
Can I vote for my wife - I'm always needing a clearance to go somewhere :{ and regularly puts me on hold until she is ready:E - although she did stop a bankrunner from wiping me out when he busted a clearance whilst I was flying down the RI ILS many many moons ago. |
The atc controller who tried to put an aircraft thru me by directing
the other aircraft to go against his TCAS. Thankfully it was all in VMC. The controller actually apologised " so sorry for that " He was removed from the console, another voice appeared. This guy gets the best controller award from me. A contoller who took immediately responsibility for a mistake- a rare bird. I checked later with atc mates, he was off work retraining for a month. Hear him on air regularly. |
Nah, it's "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRexx..............."
And Chuck in Adelaide takes the cake for the ONLY controller in Oz to know that turbo props perform differently than jets on descent.... Sydney controllers..... second best in the WORLD......... who are the BEST..........EVERYONE ELSE..........:mad: Really, the BEST controllers in the world, are those of Alice Tower in the late 90's.. Where else could you call at 90dme, and get recleared direct to right base.. best speed... |
Bloke in singapore who changed his mind during the STAR and cut 55 track miles off!!
|
The gal on 120.0 and other Area 30 frequencies - always friendly, helpful and sitting at her desk in scanty lingerie (at least in my mind....)
UTR. |
Chucky in Adelaide for sure. He's a champion!!!:ok:
|
There is, or used to be a Scottish chap on 125.7, 120.5 or 126.6 (I think???), who gets my vote :D as do all of them on BN CEN....even Plazbot!!
Also the guys at Willy are great. :ok: I've NEVER been knocked back for a clearance over the top, even when its been active, although once I remember being sent out over Glouster or somewhere at A10...no probs, twas a nice day anyway and I enjoyed the scenery! |
Who is the best Air Traffic Controller? Ask any controller and they`ll say ABC is pretty good, almost as good as me on one of my bad days! ;)
|
You certainly can here, can't speak for other parts of the world? I've never had any problem, just call them on their wee phone and they let you up. Mind you that's when I've arrived from the airfield side, ie in an aircraft.
Maybe it's been a case of "****! we've got to see who made THAT landing and survived - let her up here!!!" ;) |
Hey - give it a crack anyway!! ;)
|
Years ago in YBRK - clear for take-off 15L.
|
Also the guys at Willy are great. A further vote for 'Chucky' in Adelaide, as if there could be any other!:ok: |
Marcus, in Cairns Tower, was always great when I used to be there. (keep the emails coming :ok:)
All the guys and gals on Melb centre who handle WA, 'specially those that cover the Pilbara / Gascoyne are fantastic! Very helpful and friendly when we're out and about at 3am. Guys on this morning gave great support when Hedland was fogged in! Thanks guys keep up the great work. Those of us that are called out at all hours really appreciate the assistance you give us! :D:D:D |
While I know Chuckie's pretty forgiving, don't call him a kanack! := Close, but I belive his roots are somewhere in the state of Minnesota. ;)
|
chuck for me
|
Marcus in Cairns is a champion! Quickest wit in the north.
|
Where's Rodney Rude outta Tamworth Tower these days??
|
Mr Reeeeeeeeeeexxx drives me nuts it was funny once, amusing the second time but now its annoying:rolleyes:
|
Another vote for Chucky in Adelaide. That man needs to teach all the other guys how its done. Just sensational. I always get relieved every time I contact approach inbound - I know we can expect the most direct tracking and minimum slow downs possible. Some one get that man a beer! In fact make it a case! You're a legend.
