And a dope slap.

Tower had enough of 129HF. "You can leave my airspace." Damn straight. That was the most ATC way of saying GTFO.

According to Flight Aware, the pilot continued on his flight to Portugal.

Sounds good.

I fly here all the time. Bridgeport Controllers are the nicest, most accommodating controllers in the North East. You really have to work to piss them off. This pilot should take this as a sign.

Give the tapes to the local FSDO and see if they think it sounds good.

Wow! The arrogance. If ATC had to tell me I was downwind for the wrong runway, I’d be mortified. Back to school to learn to read a compass I’d say. More worrying is the question of how safe a pilot like this might be generally, and should he be even authorised to operate solo, let alone with unsuspecting passengers on board?

They sounded intoxicated maybe?

Oh that happened to me once when doing a Bay tour in SF. I had started from San Jose and transitioned the class B, exited, went round the bridge, Alcatraz and back into the class B. The controller complained that I didn't have clearance, exit airspace and request again. Kinda pedantic since I assumed she understood the plan since i'd already passed that info but fair enough, misunderstanding, no drama, 180 turn, appropriate request and granted. *shrugs*

I never knew Mr Magoo had a pilot's license.

29HF "You're an arrogant SOB" "Sounds good"

129HF is a Heritage Flight Academy flight school aircraft out of Islip.

Legend has it that this pilot just flies from airport to airport flying around any ol' way just to piss off the local controllers and to see how long it will take to get kicked out of their airspace.

"Land that plane now. And start practicing spitting out teeth cause when I see you, o boy😅. He needs to keep playing simulators in his mom's basement for a few more years 😅

129HF student and CFI , have no business in aviation 😖🤣 this is why the 1500 hr restriction exists 😖

Exit my airspace. Love it. Nice job controller

Why is this "pilot" allowed to fly? He is a public hazard.

Wow I was flying into Bridgeport the other day and this was the tower controller, that’s funny lol

Yeah you can clear my airspace! 🖐🏾

It's likely a trainer that switches pilots every 2-3 hours.

This guy really had the "i make no mistakes" attitude. Not the right attitude in aviation.

Often wrong, never in doubt.

If you can't read a compass...

I' ve flown small airplanes and when u do a lap( take off, downwind, base and final), first u keep the runway in sight!! right downwind means u re on the left of the runway and u keep it in sight!! second, u have ur compass!! its not difficult to calculate ur heading for a downwind!! this guy seems to be flying 040 or 050 instead of 110 , and he says he is downwind for runway 29 !!!

I admire the controller's patience. i wish HF had landed and tested for alcohol.

Somehow I get the feeling this pilot intentionally flew the pattrens he did to cause trouble. Nly thing different as a contoller I might have done is ask the pilot what heading he was on. It was definately a pilot deviation.

how much is 29-18?

Shouldn’t have a licence.

So where does that pilot go?

so anybody knows what happened to 129?

@ShakingSpiritAI

In the main, tower controllers are not radar controllers and are unable to give radar vectors. Even if the tower is radar equipped, this is not used to provide services to VFR pilots.

@johnpipping3848

14 күн бұрын

The first point of call is for the pilot to realise, and admit to himself that he has screwed up or become lost/disorientated. This guy never got close. He thought it was acceptable to just drift around on any old heading in a busy environment without clarifying anything, and without any proper interaction on the radio. “Sounds good” is NOT a useful or communicative phrase in aviation RT.

@FlightX101

Then request vectors from atc then. Dont say “Roger” then go on to screw things up for the 3rd time

I get young people new on my job a lot. They think “sounds good” is an appropriate response to everything. I want to slap the taste out of their mouths. I saw a funny skit recently where a grown up called the young person out for using that “I don’t give a BEEP” tone of voice. I hope the controller has a way of reporting the noncompliance and attitude.
