Air Tindi pilots win for making the most 126.7 calls in all of Canada!

I think I counted about 6,000 one day.

It's probably their SOPs. Cut them some slack.

c'mon, no one can come close to Perimeter's verbal diarrhea!

Air North is right up there too, must ask for weather 50times on each leg. Good thing radios come with volume switches.

I think ASC is a very close second.

But that might be beacuse they don't fly as much.

There is nothing wrong with making radio calls in uncontrolled airspace, just keep em short sweet and to the point.

True true, but for god's sake, it really kills me when they say they are a -100 or -300 series twin otter... I DONT CARE! That wasn't Air Tindi by the way... I'll keep the operator nameless. As the skipper calls those jokeys: "Dem Dumb yungfellas..."

Tindi may be the worst on '6.7, but Perimeter wins hands down on 122.8. I'm sure it's an SOP thing, but still...within reason man, any conflicting please advise 1/2pV2aCL on 126.7, 122.8, over.

problem with perimiter is you can't hear what they're trying to say over there engines.

also, does perimeter wait till there's a warning horn going off in their cockpit intentinaly to make their radio calls or is there just one going off constantly?

what a stupid subject

Groundspeed the reason these discussions take on such importance to so many pilots here is because they live in such a small sector of flying that they become insular in their outlook on reality and tend to focus inward on a very small world.

But it does make for interesting reading.

That "warning horn " you hear is the trim aural signal. Every time the a/c is trimmed, you will hear that. To answer the question, it's going off all the time.

haha! - you mean the same small world of bitching incessantly about Transport?

your telling me that the metro needs a warning to tell you when the plane is trimmed out.

Do the experianced guys on that type screw with the trim and accept diviations of 1000' or disconnect the speaker?

Hmmm, are you comparing discussing real problems in the regulator that directly affects your career to discussing how pilots use their radios as being equal in importance?

However either way the problems are yours as these problems no longer directly affect me anyhow.

Why do you need a horn going off to tell you the trim is working? Is a Screaming Wienie that weird? That's why a leatherman is so useful, for cutting the wires on such a device. How is anyone supposed to get any sleep?

I think when I am in the circuit I will add "Any Conflicting traffic please advise" to the end of each of my leg calls.

Whenever I let that slip at the end of my advisories I cringe thinking "those AVCANADA people would so smoke me for that!" Hmm....I don't worry about Transport the same way....maybe AVCANADA needs to take over regulatory oversight of the industry!

Cheers,
