Hi Bob,
You handled very well, nothing nasty happend so let it go.
Things like this happens all the time, in the air or not.
It is spring for the controller as well, and he is sitting in a dark
room looking at a screen, you did the flying.
He was just jealous.
A similair thing happend to me and I'm still do not know what went
wrong.
One day I had to make a flight from Germany to Holland.
International flights means filing a flight plan even if you are VFR.
My route was over Germany, Holland, Belgium and Holland again.
So I faxed my flight plan, departure was from a small airfield.
In the air I activated it and that went right.
Crossing the Dutch border gave no problems.
Arriving at the Belgian border I called Brussels Information with of
course my call sign D-EDMB and intensions.
Answer: DMB bla bla bla QNH 1019
Me: DMB bla bla bla QNH 1019.
Ok that went well.
After about 10 minutes they start to call an OMB.
Well thats not me, I thought.
And they keep trying to contact a OMB every 5 minues or so.
Nearing the Dutch border I requested to change freq. (thats about 25
min. later)
Them: DMB, Freg. change approved, and we tried to contact you for 20
minutes.
Me: DMB, Freq. change approved, well, I'm DMB, I only heard calls to
OMB.
Them: Oh, goodbye.
Me: Goodbye, DMB.
Holland went right again though.
What happend here?
They have a flight plan for a D-EDMB, the first call went right.
I do not get it.
-Kees
