May 22, 20224 yr MSFS, 'study' level aircraft, online ATC - it all makes flight simulation so fulfilling. I wouldn't expect this from a sim enthusiast online! Example of poor comms.

May 22, 20224 yr Absolutely shocking! The number of mistakes (the 5 read back errors, the runway incursion, the subsequent wrong direction) was just difficult to take in. Can you imagine flying with that guy. What a white knuckle ride!

May 22, 20224 yr Moderator That's what scared me - after all that he was going to try to fly it. RIG#1 - 7700K 5.0g ROG X270F 3600 15-15-15 - EVGA RTX 3090 1000W PSU 1- 850G EVO SSD, 2-256G OCZ SSD, 1TB,HAF942-H100 Water W1064Pro 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160

May 22, 20224 yr Do you need a full readback or are you cool with cutting corners? ATC is usually ok with cutting corners, right??

May 22, 20224 yr That was probably the most frustrating thing i've heard in a long time. In my everyday job i am dealing with similar situations regularly and the majority its the same type of pilot. 50+ plus years and obviously not used to flying IFR.

May 22, 20224 yr Listening to that was frankly quite alarming. I hope it was just a one off and that he was having a really bad day. So many read back errors and then two mistakes during what should have been a simple taxi to the active. Do controllers have the authority to cancel an IFR/VFR flight plan based on their concerns about a pilots competency? If so this is a prime example of when it should be done.

I think when pilots reach a certain age they should be required to do a proficiency test every few years to keep both themselves and those they fly over safe. i9-13900K @ 5.8Ghz / Asus TUF 4090 OC / 32 GB DDR 5 / Corsair 1000W PS / Pimax Crystal / 2 SATA SSD / 2TB M2 SSD/ DOF Reality H3 motion platform/ Win 11

Every 24 calendar months, all PICs (in the US) are supposed to show that they can still act as PIC. The CFI is the one responsible to ensure that the Pilot is still qualified. If they are, then they get a logbook endorsement. It's really a checkride, but most Pilots don't look at it that way. I'm now in sim heaven thanks to MSFS 2024 and hundreds of add-ons!

Ah, ok thanks. Do you know if this applies to those holding a PPL or just commercial pilots?

Example of poor comms. I agree, brevity is very important. Another even more egregious example of poor comms from a professional pilot: https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/general-discussion-news-and-announcements/190615-21may22-pmdg-737-700-developers-update-pending-changes-in-the-cooker 😉 Oz Sim Rig: MSI RTX3090 Suprim, an old, partly-melted Intel 9900K @ 5GHz+, Honeycomb Alpha, Thrustmaster TPR Rudder, Warthog HOTAS, Reverb G2, Prosim 737 cockpit.

That guy seemed so confused and disorganized I was wondering if he was actually fit to fly (in my amateur opinion) Dave Current System (Running at 4k): ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F, Ryzen 7800X3D, RTX 5090, 55" Samsung Q80T, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, EVGA CLC 280mm AIO Cooler, Brunner CLS-E NG Yoke, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS & Stick, Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant & Add-on, VirtualFly Ruddo+, TQ6+ and Yoko+, GoFlight MCP-PRO and EFIS, Skalarki FCU and MCDU
