ATC phraseology in training

It would have been significantly more helpful if the PSP ATCT Air Traffic Manager was aware of correct/current phraseology and procedures and made sure they were followed at his facility. Going off on a tangent: The AMD factory is at KEZM, which is also the home of Middle Georgia College's aviation campus. They've got ATC as well as pilot and A&P programs. I spent a couple of hours the last time I was there with the chief air traffic controller and instructor of the school, and he showed me their tower simulator. Damn, that was nice. Part of the good stuff about the simulator is that it has simulated air traffic, settable by the instructor - and the student controls it by talking just as he would on the radio. Most voice recognition systems have a limited vocabulary. This one turns that into a featu if the student doesn't use the proper phraseology, the system doesn't recognize it. I don't know if it silently ignores it, or returns a "huh?"; I didn't try that - but when I told it "American 1446, cleared to land runway three two left", it had no trouble dealing with that. Nifty. Students come out of that class with the proper language ingrained. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro.com http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net Fairmont, MN (FRM) (Yes, that's me!)

Question about TRSA - KPSP
On Tue, 20 May 2008 17:56:01 -0500, "Steven P. McNicoll"
wrote in : It was incorrect then as well. In this case my late instructor provided the current terminology in use at KPSP TRSA in 1996, and still in use today apparently. I see his instruction as consistent with the vernacular in use, and appropriate in this situation, despite it being obsolete. If someone educated KPSP ATC personnel to the change in phraseology, and they adopted it, I'd feel differently about it. Perhaps you should phone them (760–318–3820), and point out their error, or report it to FSDO if you feel so strongly about it. |

In this case your late instructor provided the incorrect terminology in use at KPSP TRSA. Perhaps he was as ignorant as the controllers there and didn't know any better. Instructors that don't make the effort to stay current should cease instructing. Perhaps you should phone them (760-318-3820), and point out their error, or report it to FSDO if you feel so strongly about it. It's unlikely that I'll ever use PSP. If the pilots that do use it are content with ATC which uses obsolete terminology and incorrect procedures that's fine with me. |

I believe the dominant sentence structure in English is subject- verb-object (SVO). Unless I'm mistaken (probably!) the phrasing of that imperative is in SOV order. I suppose the FAA has a sound reason for requiring such an unusual ordering. |

That may have been what I told it...that was a few weeks ago, and all I remembered was that the instructor told me what to say, I said it, and it worked. It had no trouble dealing with my rather distinctive voice. I got invited back (the students want pictures with the Tron Guy and his airplane), and I'll have to ask just how picky it is. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro.com http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net Fairmont, MN (FRM) (Yes, that's me!)

Question about TRSA - KPSP
In regards to the reply..Did you happen to ask him how you should
cancel a voluntary service you hadn't requested and weren't receiving? The tower "assumes" that you are using the service unless you specifically ask NOT to. For example after I landed and contacted ground for a taxi back, they asked my intentions , etc and assigned me a trasnponder code before I was handed off to tower. On May 20, 4:05*pm, "Steven P.

The controller I spoke to today specifically said "cancel stage III" maybe he is old school....... Did you happen to ask him how you should cancel a voluntary service you hadn't requested and weren't receiving? The proper phraseology, back when the Stage services existed, was "negative Stage II". My I key must be sticky, that should be "negative Stage III". |

I suppose the FAA has a sound reason for requiring such an unusual ordering. I don't know what the reasoning was, to the best of my knowledge that phraseology has been unchanged for at least fifteen years. In recent history the requirements imposed by FAA orders have been void of sound reasoning. |

The tower "assumes" that you are using the service unless you specifically ask NOT to. You don't "ask NOT to" use a voluntary service, you decline it. Asking implies the request can be refused. I assume when you initially contacted the tower you were squawking 1200. That should have told the tower controller you hadn't been receiving TRSA services. If you had been you'd have been on an approach-assigned discrete code accompanied by a data block showing your callsign and probably type aircraft and runway assignment. |

Question about TRSA - KPSP
Yes that is a good point. I guess we can call it TRSA SPAM since we
have to "OPT out." :) They way the controllers handle it is that if you contact tower they switch you to approch unless you "OPT out." Just the fact that you are contacting them they then assume you want TRSA services. I guess if you look at it from a safety point of view then the "OPT out" method might be in everyones best interest. But ultimately it is your choice. On May 20, 6:50*pm, "Steven P.
