"RW" == RubberWatch writes:
RW Hello- I am a student pilot. I was out flying solo today and RW was instructed by ATC to fly a heading of 210. I thought he RW said 110 and I flew on that heading. He then told me it looks RW like your going the wrong direction i need you to fly 210. I RW got a bit locked up and said 210. I ended up on 210 but I RW really kinda got "mike fright". RW Anyway, I just wanted to know if this would constitute a RW violation No, don't worry about it. RW and if I might receive something in the mail, etc? No. RW He later told me to "resume own navigaion" and I did not know RW what that meant...I asked him if I could do my airwork and he RW said resume on navigation meant I can do anything I want. Have your instructor explain some of the common phrases used by ATC. This is very common and is usually used when you are flying towards a destination that you've told ATC about; they vector you a bit to avoid traffic; then tell you "resume own navigation" which means return to flying towards your destination. RW He did not ask me to call a land line or anything like that, RW though when I requested to change to my CTAF as I had the RW airport in site, he said frequency change approved and squalk RW VFR when I am on the ground. I am pretty sure he said and meant "frequency change approved, squawk VFR" when means change to whatever frequency you want (destination airport CTAF, AWOS or ATIS) and change your squawk code from what you were assigned to 1200. Don't wait 'till your on the ground to do this. -- If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mister Brave Man, I guess I am a coward. - Jack Handey |
