Pet Peeves

[sanjet]

People leaving their taxi lights on flashing the guy on final when they are holding short of runway. Is that really needed specially when you are not taxiing?

[TG]

No, but it might prevent some landing on the taxiway
(and gear up, just for Doc)



I know, I'm bored!

[Tubthumper]

Student pilots who sit at the hold line with the transponder on, setting of the TCAS while you're on final.

[royu]

Guys who blame everything on student pilots.

Student pilots who sit at the hold line with the transponder on, setting of the TCAS while you're on final.

What are you flying? TCAS should be disabled below ~1000 AGL

[ahramin]

yycflyguy, the standard for TCAS II v 7 is no RAs below 1000 +- 100 but TAs are still issued.

[Flying Nutcracker]

Go to YUL where transponders are mandatory on the ground!

My pet peeve is a wife that buys a shoe-rack and yet her shoes are scattered across the hallway!!!

1. "O" is a letter, "0" is a number
2. radio calls and announcements that include "at this time"

The often misuse of hanger in an aviation context

[Hedley]

Long-winded radio calls like this:

Podunk Traffic, Cessna Skyhawk Foxtrot Alpha Bravo Charlie is fifteen miles north at two thousand three hundred, inbound to join the left downwind after crossing overhead the field. Any conflicting traffic for Podunk, please advise Cessna Skyhawk Foxtrot Alpha Bravo Charlie on one twenty two point eight, Podunk.

ARGH! Compare that to:

Podunk Traffic, Cessna Fox Alpha Bravo Charlie, one five north inbound two seven

HARD BUTTER.

[767]

Sitting with another licenced pilot in a 172 who is not PIC for the flight, where he/she starts touching things without asking the PIC first. That is why i like the SOP environment.... just do what your assigned!! arghhh

[Johnny767]

Long line up of Aircraft, at a busy Airport. Some guy, number 10 in line, keys the mike and interupts a busy Tower Controller with this gem;

"Tower, Dust Speck Airlines 123, ready in sequence"

Buddy (...or as they love to say today... Dude) - you're not in a C-150 any more, with Tower waiting for you to finish a run-up.

He (tower) will call you (the Airplane) when you are number one in line.

Please purge this from your RT vocabulary.

[Johnny767]

40 plus year old grown men.

...who use the word "Dude."

You have to be an under 15 year old girl, to use the term "WTF."

And an under 25 guy, to call someone "Dude."

A bit off topic but heard this the other day in a southern locale..........

Aircraft xxx broadcasts an order to the local FBO on guard. Like hawks, the masses join in, "you're on guard, no you're on guard, no you're on guard, no you're on guard.........carried on for about a minute or so......next transmission "this is XXX centre, knock it off fellas"..........about 10 seconds later, a sheepish voice....."Dude you're on guard"..........
