Save Those Recordings
I watched a YouTube vid the other day where an obviously concerned CFI, after thanking the controller for all their support and all they do, still asked that the controller “Please mark the tapes.” The obviously task saturated and presumably annoyed controller replied with words something like, “Sir, this is the 21st Century. There are no tapes!” this brings up a few questions.
1) In the good old days, did they really “mark” the tapes, maybe with tape and magic marker, or was there a button the controller could push to time-stamp or otherwise save the recording?
