"Somebody check your mike on the radio, please..."
If I hear this ONE more time on Unicom, I'm going to scream!
Is it *really* possible that one can be a certificated pilot, and *NOT* know that it's impossible to receive AND transmit at the same time? Is it *really* possible that a certicated pilot would transmit a statement like this into the ether, expecting the guy with the stuck mike to actually be able to HEAR what he's saying? Sadly, the answer is "yes". We hear it almost every time there's a stuck-mike situation. Truly scary... I'll take a hundred guys saying "Any other traffic, please advise..." over THIS kind of stupidity. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
