Open mics are a laugh

22.10-24.00 :ok:

White with 1 thanks and a few scotch fingers ... :ok:

Always good for a laugh.

I recall a female instructor from the school i worked at many moons ago, departed YSBK and every person within a 100nm got to listen to her S&L lesson, which was amusing, but not nearly as amusing as her continued rambling about all "the F:mad:ing controllers not listening" :=

When in fact they, and everyone else with a radio on at the time was listening, Very carefully.

Edit: typo corrected

AHAHAHAHA someones gonna be introuble

Talking about shooting aircraft down :mad:

Someone is in lots of trouble!

Ohhh dear..... :eek:

And what's worse is I think I know that bloke :uhoh:. Could be an interesting discussion next time I see him!:E

Pure gold :)

It happens -- Remember hearing about a fellow on their first solo years ago at AF... Singing along---- "I've got a ticket to ride...." With an open mic:E All the way to the downwind call.

Then there was the time at bandcamp .... - (only kidding) - Once was waiting for a takeoff clearance wondering where the controller went.
Realised after a minute it was toooo- quiet. Doh.

EPIC FAIL!!!! Nice to know we're not he only ones that do it from time to time

It was very amusing to hear that yesterday. The radar controller is normally very professional, it was interesting to hear him speak with the ATC voice turned off. Surely he didn't just leave his hand on the button?

In fairness to the controller, some of the clearance requests they receive around Brisbane and the Gold Coast are a joke. No wonder he had the sh*ts.

As I say to the occassional student pilot - don't slag anyone off until you are on the ground and the radio is off.

121.5 provides some amazing crap also & they ain't on a stuck mike!!!!:ugh:

I guess the ATC boys are no different than the rest of us, they hear it all & mostly have to keep their mouths shut despite wanting to serve up some colourful language to the uneductaed out there:-)

Wmk2:-)

Word of warning young people, sitting in cruise is boring. When someone calls another and says go numbers, 90% will go numbers if they have a spare com just to listen in on something different. Numbers is not a dicreet chat frequency.

I heard from a mate on the grapevine some young guys flew into YJAB about 2 weeks ago in some 172's. There were about 13 pilots listening in on what you where saying. Very immature, arrogant and in some instances offensive (some tuned back out) from what I was told.

Moral is, nothing is dicreet. Always check your radio and make sure that correct frequency is selected, and TX goes away when you release PTT.

I agree Air up there,

If you want to chat organise a freq previous and then just say, go company...then talk crap:ok:

Once heard a full blown mayday call on CTAF during a lesson with open Mic and instructor, they did the full call. Anyone coming in half way through would have rung alarm bells.

There was a certain skydive pilot at YIFL who was notorious for holding down mic button too long.

''AAX you'll have holding on the drop due outbound traffic from YDKI''

''AAX copy...FUUUU*****''

And then there was the Brissie centre controller who had a stuck mike a few years ago, and continued talking about very very filthy stuff only to follow a couple of minutes later with a ''really?.......sh**!''

A few years ago fellow female pilot reported inbound to a GAAP and requested 1 touch & go on arrival. The male controller responded and then commented with a stuck mic: "with a voice like that, she can touch & go as much as she likes, whenever she likes." :}

Never forget "the law of inverse beauty" when listening to radio! Proved to be true on many occasions:ok:

Hey Air,

Wouldn't happen to of been the same blokes from Brissy way that were passing up the middle of the NT about the same time would it ????

Nooooooooo! The trip to Brisbane will be very boring if I can't fanticise about the BN Centre controller with the sexy Swedish accent!

Dr :8

But have you met her face to face? A difficult thing to navigate sometimes, I know. As I mentioned after the trouble and extra words on the radio, sometimes its better to just sit in the cruise and just imagine:}
