oups.com... Well, I haven't used it with Center and Approach, but when I don't know which Fligh****ch I am going to get (almost always 122.2), I say "S&ch*%##prtzer Fligh****ch, this is November 6 3 Charlie Tango". That way, ya can't go wrong :-) Always good to be able to imitate static at appropriate times. Good technique to master :-) But wait, low-altitude Fligh****ch (EFAS) is 122.0, not 122.2. The latter is a typical FSS frequency, and should be addressed as XYZ Radio, not XYZ Fligh****ch. Of course, you could cover all your bases by starting with "S&ch*%##prtzer FR&ch*%##prtzer , ...". --Gary |

Next time, just say "Atlanta". When they respond, they'll tell you
whether they are Approach or Center (they always know). Simplifies things. On 8 Feb 2005 06:26:41 -0800, wrote: Thanks to all for the input. I guess the bottom line is that communication is more efficient when the right name is given with every call, so it's worth taking time to straighten things out right away. |

He can waste it at his discretion. If you were handed off, he knew you were coming, he knew you were on the right freq. Not clear what his motivation was in making the correction, but it really doesn't matter why he chose to make the correction. Actually, I would think it WOULD be important. There are a lot of aircraft on, or coming on, the frequency. If they hear you continue to call "Centre" instead of "Approach", some one of them is going to waste time trying to figure out if he is on the right frequency, and will perhaps leave it (incorrectly). I don't think we are disagreeing. I assume you mean "It would be important for the controller to make the correction." and not "It would be important for us to know why he chose to make the correction." Well, I was thinking more along the line of: "it would be important for us to call the controller by the correct identification", hence "It would be important for the controller to make the correction.", and for us to comply. |

Good idea! Doesn't work everywhere, though: e.g., SoCal Approach and LA
Center, and NorCal Approach and Oakland Center. Alan Pendley PP - ASEL - IA Commercial Student Hawthorne Muni, CA 75 Cardinal RG N2770V wrote in message ... Next time, just say "Atlanta".

In that case, I would simply say "Hey".
