this guy was not a new pilot, he was flying a C-210 and he wasnt having trouble,
he was just "chatting" to Nellis approach, and really really dragging out each
word slowly.
As the person following him, in class B, I was not suppose to deviate from my
course or altitude - I tried slowing down a little to give me more time, but the
guy just kept talking.
I never said anything to him, As soon as I had the opportunity I fired off
"arrow 891 request turn on course"

the nellis AFB guys are kinda relaxed, I guess the speed of our planes put them
to sleep.

LOL...a couple of months ago nellis approach almost let me fly into a
mountain
because some guy from utah here for xmas shopping, flying out, I was right
behind
him, was doing that on the radio, ummm hhmmm mmmmummm and so on, I almost
told him
to spit it out and shut up but he wouldnt stop talking!
finally as I am nearing the mountain getting ready to make the decision to
deviate
from my course ATC had me on, he shut up and let me ask to make my turn.

I hate it when people just dont spit out what they have to say .


Remember that there are a lot of student pilots and low time pilots who have
a hard time learning to use the radios. Not everybody can be as crisp and
laconic as a 10,000 hour airline captain. Jumping on some guy who is having
trouble anyway is not helpful and simply ties up the radios even more while
you all argue over it.

One of the hardest things I have to do as an instructor is not jump in and
'help' my student on the radios or make his radio calls for him.

Instead of criticizing how others use the radios, concentrate on improving
your own radio habits and decision making.
