Had a bad day at work?

Getting the message across in a big way

Getting the message across in a big way:diablo:

Approach room RAF St Mawgan a few years ago.

We were 24 hours and to pass the time during the evening we played ‘clag’ (cards) round a table, with the approach controller next to the radar console.

At about 9pm the (then) Brymon Dash 8 called inbound from Plymouth and our controller (a W.O.) was distracted while he set up our incoming for an ILS for runway 31. When established on the localiser, he slid two feet left to monitor the approach on the PAR. From 9 miles to touchdown our intrepid controller watched every blip on the radar calling out the 8 and 3 mile clearances. We could hear the tyres screech as the aircraft touched down.
Our controller half turned to us and said “That was the worst ****ing ILS I’ve ever seen!” then turned back to the screen, to which a very hurt voice came back from the pilot “do you really think so?”
He had accidently transmitted with his foot switch when he had turned to us for comment!

I haven’t laugh so much at an ATC tape for a good while. This guy is classic.

Hi Sandy – This was in fact a Good day – you wouldn’t be able to print the bad day’s expletives 😀

Absolutely priceless!

This one has been around for a while. Still, what a mess to get into, and out of!
