The Idiot without the NOTAM

oh my god... I can't imagine someone being THAT inept. I would not have
let the guy in, but, then again, I get kinda persnickety about idiotic
stuff sometimes. I'm going to share that file though!!!!!

Peter, I missed your post with the link. Can you repost?

OK, found the exchange and edited the clip to only contain the relevant
communications for anyone interested in hearing it. Note that the LiveATC
OSH feed is monitoring a few different frequencies, so there are a couple
of sections where some of the ATC or pilot's comms are clipped.

The link to the MP3 file of the exchange at about 4.5 Mb in size, available
for two weeks from today (Spread-It's limit for free file sharing):

I ever heard were 53A and I never even heard a type.

It was in the raw archives at the first call-up. When I created the clip
and posted the link here, I purposely abbreviated the entire tail ID since
I did not want to be the one responsible for this pilot's humiliation.


Ok, I missed it when I listen to it live and then when I didn't hear it on
the replay I thought it wasn't there.

The guy was responsible for his own humiliation. And I agree with the other
posters who thing he should have been turned around and sent home which was
the controllers first response, btw.

Oh, he's definately responsible for his own humiliation!

Listening to it right now. I half expect to hear "My dog ate my sectional."

Listening to this will -definately- make me doublecheck my information
before I fly. Thanks!

Never had my dog eat my sectional, but I've had them blow out of the
cockpit when I had the canopy back...

I was listening to the OSH feed on LiveATC this past Sunday afternoon.
The C-54 requested to taxi to Baslers. ATC queried as to the reason. The
response, "We just had our chart sucked out the window, so we need to
get another one."

So that's where that sectional came from I found on the front lawn!

See below. I listened with headphones, could hear his first call clearly.

Makes his first call orbiting Holstein Airport approx 13:17:52 Z

City MOON TOWNSHIP
State PENNSYLVANIA
Zip Code 15108-1379
County ALLEGHENY

Registered Office Address: ROUTE 30 & STAR ROUTE 981 LATROBE PA 15650-0

This is next to the Latrobe airport

But Moon Township, Allegheny County, is the location of Greater
Pittsburgh Airport.

I sent this email to the two FBO's at Latrobe airport:

You may have a customer in a Cessna 172 N9553A who recently flew into
Oshkosh for the EAA convention. He has been the subject of significant
debate on the internet regarding his lack of preparation or knowledge of the
appropriate notams and approach procedures.

The newsgroup rec.aviation.piloting has most of the thread. The N number as
well as the corporate owner of the plane have been identifed on the web as
well.

Here is some of the recorded communication for his interest:

He may be interested in listening to this as well as reading the thread

Hopefully we will all have learned from this experience.

Keep in mind that Spread-It.com, the site I initially chose to host that
clip and the link to which the TinyURL link above resolves, only offers the
file for download two weeks from the initial day it was uploaded (in this
case, the last week of July).

If you need a more permeant location, we would need to find a better home
for the clip. I have webspace I could use, if needed.
