I was cruising along one day when I heard the following:
Center: “1JT turn right heading 120.”
On The Air: April 2021
Key Takeaways:
- The article presents humorous and unusual air traffic control (ATC) interactions, including a controller using celebrity names to differentiate similar callsigns and a pilot intentionally violating radio etiquette to tease a friend.
- It highlights rare pilot tasks, such as being asked by ATC to verify the functionality of a VOR (Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range).
- A pilot recounts experiencing an unusually relaxed and informal ATC environment at a major airport during the pandemic's nadir, contrasting sharply with the typical busy and rapid-fire communication.
