What really get's your Goat
There are three, ' things, phrases or comments' that really make me wanna scream (or worse), whenever I hear them........
One is the word, SPAMCAN
Second is when a somebody says " WHERE'S THE PARACHUTE"
Three "IT'S A GET YOU OUT OF TROUBLE RATING " ( IMC )
What are other Ppruner's little pet hates ?

Only one thing gets my goat - AND 99.9% of the time, I let it go, purely for my own sanity:
plane
it is not a £ucking plane, IT IS AN AEROPLANE!
I don't even mind airplane when flying in the States. I quite enjoy biplane, canard, pusher or any other specific descriptor but I hate "plane".
Had Aerbabe been a swamp donkey she would have had the lecture face to face last Friday
Plane's are used by carpenters (shame about Karen!
) pilots and passengers fly in aeroplanes!
Most of my buddies, the BBC news crews, young instructors utilise this bastardization of aeroplane.
I feel outnumbered, my wife tells me to lighten up but standards must be upheld and aeroplane is the true and correct appelation!

ME:-How about tomorrow?

"Hello Biggles. AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH"

To me (FI)
"So didn't you want to be a real pilot"
I left before it got boring/nasty
sB
Oh yeah, my other favourite analisms include:
"PIN Number"
"ATM Machine"
etc

Um...
RT

life stories...on a busy day
Military controllers who insist on using the term 'wait' (standby or hold? it means standby apparrently - they get nervous about heavies on short final for no apparrent reason - good job they dont work at heathrow...)
the call 'finals' - 1. you do it once. 2. RTFM - CAP413 quite clearly states 'Final' - cant understand why its debated when its so clear...
'IMC is a get of of trouble rating' (For those that say this - please read the ANO for once in your lives...) - As an IR rated pilot I find this snobbery intolerable.
Other stuff....
~~~~~~~~~~~
One-up manship and snide remarks/name calling from one fraction of aviation about another i.e. microlighters vs light a/c vs gliders vs airline etc etc vice versa....we are all trained pilots all with a 'right' to fly in the same airspace - it is not the aircraft you fly that makes you a danger - its bad airmanship - and this occurs on ALL sides. Having come from microlights to being a light a/c instructor, still enjoying all forms of aviation I find the coments both puzzling and frustrating - as 95% of these people make these remarks having never experienced these other forms of aviation at all.
lack of female pilots - i would like to see the image of the industry changed to be one of equality rather than its current 'shauvanistic'/male dominated taint - after all Im male and dont want to be tarred with a brush that is not of my chosing...
The fact that as an instructor everyone assumes I am hours building...i may be en-route to the airlines but instructing means far far more than that to me - and to be honest this is the one that hurts me/irritates me the most - I give instructing 110% - I hate having that effort devalued. Yep some may be doing it for the wrong reasons - that doesnt mean we all are...I for one will be instructing for the rest of my life irrespective of the day job...
Yeah...cool..thats off my chest now!
