I was recently on a flight where I was able to listen to the Pilots speak to Air Traffic control. It was quite fascinating but I understood very little of what they were saying. If you desire to listen to more ATC lingo, click your way over to http://www.liveatc.net where there are over 150 live audio streams from ATC facilities in the US and around the world. -- Peter |

Both FAA links below are obsolete. Go he
http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraff.../publications/ and follow the links to Aeronautical Information Manual and Pilot/Controller Glossary.

As for the slang mentioned by kontiki, it shouldn't happen. Communications should be strictly standard as defined in the publications above. But there are humans involved... |

Just wanted to thank everyone for their responses. Quite fascinating
stuff here. Thanks again. Also, I was watching United 93 and they kept using the term "squawk". I looked it up in a few resources mentioned but since I have no aviation experience couldn't quite grasp the meaning. What exactly is a squawk and what is it's function? And you can listen to this online!!??? Awesome. anyone know of some of the better sites? T |

![]() I posted the best resource for online ATC streaming. Did you miss that post or is there something in my post's headers that results in them being filtered? Peter, I didn't miss your post. It said there were over a 150 options. I was wondering if you could recommend a few. Or are they all the same. Thank you for posting that information! Zan |

I looked it up in a few resources mentioned but since I have no aviation experience couldn't quite grasp the meaning. What exactly is a squawk and what is it's function? And you can listen to this online!!??? Awesome. anyone know of some of the better sites? If it were me, I would pick one of the "Top 30" from an airport near a place I am familiar with - near where I live or where I've been in the past. There are lots of good options - New York's JFK, Boston's Logan, and Orlando (everybody's been to Disney, right?) Being from New York, KJFK is an easy pick for me, but there are plenty of cities up there that might work better for you. "Sqauwk" refers to the transponder code assigned to an aircraft. Most airplanes have a transponder in them that communicates with Air Traffic Control (ATC) Radar. Certain areas of the country require a plane to have a transponder for entry, but less populated areas do not require it. Most modern transponders can communicate both position and altitude back to the radar system. Some of the new ones even have two-way communication where other traffic and weather information is "beamed" back to the airplane's system. In order to identify a specific airplane, ATC will assign a "sqauwk code" for the pilot to enter into his transponder to uniquely identify that plane to the system. The code is typically a four digit number. Even "uncontrolled" airplanes with transponders squawk a specific code (1200) and appear on the ATC radar screen, even if they are not talking to ATC. This allows ATC (and other planes with anti-collision systems) to "see" them and ensure that they don't fly too close to them. There are also a few "special codes" that pilots can enter into their transponder to alert ATC to certain types of emergencies (like a radio failure or hijacking, when telling ATC about it may be impossible). Enjoy! |
