"Rolling" to ATC
In a previous article, Mxsmanic said:
book before he hits the PTT button next time. Most airline captains are eager to win the approval of low-time GA pilots back in the cabin, and will even instruct their crews to actively seek out the counsel of these experts to bring back to the cockpit. Much like the way real pilots actively seek out the counsel and approval of simulator dweebs. -- Paul Tomblin http://blog.xcski.com/ As it should be - snipe at *.mil and expect to drop any plans for the rest of that day. -- Alex |

Then there is the stunning load of crap in Michael Crichton's "Airframe": "Tower zero one request clearance for takeoff." "Cleared runway three contact ground point six three when off the runway." I like that! ;-) |

We all need serious insights from the real pros (aka, "experts" as defined as a "has been, know it all," or a "drip under pressure.") |

Oh Bull****. First place, only United Airlines pipes ATC into the cabin. Second, it is up to the captain and far fewer do it since 911. Flight attendants are training NOT to take such bull**** from a passenger to the flight deck. Good God, Sam. He was yanking your chain ;-\ |

"Rolling" to ATC
Exactly. Playing.
Mxsmanic wrote: Under what conditions, when playing with Microsoft Flight Simulator, if any, would you explicitly tell ATC, when playing with Microsoft Flight Simulator that you are rolling, when playing with Microsoft Flight Simulator, that is, actually rolling on the runway for take-off, when playing with Microsoft Flight Simulator? I hear this used occasionally, when playing with Microsoft Flight Simulator, but I don't know if there are any formal circumstances that merit it, when playing with Microsoft Flight Simulator, or if it is just at pilot discretion, when playing with Microsoft Flight Simulator, or what. It is normally independent of the readback of the take-off clearance (which precedes it), when playing with Microsoft Flight Simulator, although sometimes I hear "Rolling" without a readback of the clearance, when playing with Microsoft Flight Simulator. |

Where have you heard this? Listening to ATC. I have never, ever heard such nonsense instructions. Maybe you should listen to more ATC. Here is how it would be done professionally: "United 123 turn left heading 225, cleared for takeoff." Next time I hear ATC do it "unprofessionally," I'll be sure to write them a strongly-worded letter communicating your disapproval. That'll whip them into shape. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
