201er Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 I’ve heard a fair amount of griping and chewing flying around NYC for many years, but this is on another level. Quote
MikeOH Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 Well, damn! That was "entertaining" for sure People seemed north/south and left/right challenged; good thing nobody was stopped on the runway Quote
ArtVandelay Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 No one seemed to be listening to him, no change in direction, no responses, I assume they edited those out? Quote
Shadrach Posted October 11 Report Posted October 11 What are the odds that multiple hamburgers showed up in the pattern at the same time? It sounded like there was a delay in his radar feed. He kept screaming at Reliant 379 (at Citation that likely had an ATP at the controls) to start the requested 360. The Pilot responded that they were half way through the 360. Controller’s response? “Turn harder”. I have seen lots of ATC sequencing hiccups over the years in all levels of airspace. I have been involved ATC sequencing Aircraft in the exact opposite order that seemed practical to me and it worked out just as I thought it would… with lots of low altitude, turns and extensions for spacing. What I have never heard is a controller come completely unhinged like this guy. He sounds like Bernie from The Incredibles… Quote
