I am just a goony nerd who doesn't work in ATC but plays London Control a lot. So sometimes I do get lost in the thread

A UK specific question if anyone knows: Is there an altitude above which you don't have to check in with ATC? I'm trying to fact check this article: http://t.co/k2g4SKPyWY

Thought so. I was going through the CAA documents to find out but got very bored.

Tops out at 660 across most of Europe. So, yeah.

Not a controller or a pilot but it seems like the comments on there suggest that while the pilot was a massive douche, the controller didn't tell him how to get where he wanted him to go?

Hello ATCs, is this a good thing yes/no http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-31109732 I'm neither a pilot nor an ATC but I'm interested in aviation so this jumped out at me this morning. NATS are talking about a new system which reduces separation distances based on wind in order to reduce delays and save money.

kmcormick9 posted:No. It's a scam by a certain regional to save gas. They were underfuelling planes so they declared min fuel ad soon as we assigned a speed. That lasted 3 days until we got approval to clear them back to their departure airport if they pulled that. It stopped almost immediately. Didn't Ryanair do this in Europe? There was a documentary on TV in the UK about them declaring 3 fuel emergencies in Barcelona within about an hour. Edit: It was Madrid: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2206322/Ryanair-ordered-review-fuel-policy-making-THREE-emergency-landings-planes-ran-out.html (trigger warning: Daily Mail link) And I think it was a slightly different scenario. Edit 2: Massively beaten. Apologies.

quote:Radios are smart enough to tune to the "right" frequency now. The controller says to dial in "108.01", so you do, and that's what the display reads, but the frequency is actually 108.00833MHz There are certain channels in 8.33 spacing that can be tuned into a 25khz spacing radio and used with little problem, whereas others cannot be as they are too far away from a 25khz boundary. I'm sure I remember that being a thing when the spacing was first introduced? They had to maintain compatibility.

This all reminds me that I should buy London Control instead of just shamefully using a :warez: copy. It's really great, but is mainly geared towards en-route only.

Does the rest of the world group numbers like that, or is it one of those uniquely American things?

Thanks for the number stuff. So my question is, if this is a really bad idea, why do American ATCs/pilots do it. Or does it happen elsewhere too? It seems like everyone complains about Americans using non-standard phraseology. Sometimes even in this thread

Yeah he seems cool. My favourite was drone oval office from episode 2. What an absolute prick.
