I thought I was weird for finding this awkward. I have this in RL sometimes I say goodbye to someone and we start walking in the same direction or I say goodbye and on the way back they are still there. Sometimes I just take the longer route on purpose so I dont bump into anybody I know lol.
"Goodbye!" "Goodbye to you too, have a good one." *_(Both planes proceed to fly in the same direction)_* I can't imagine the awkwardness during that time...
The radios aren't meant for chatting, important buisness and emergencies will come through the communication. What they did was probably normal to give room for more serious things in case they come up. I do agree though. Would feel awkward. Edit: I fixed some grammar errors I made. Edit: I fixed a spelling error in my previous Edit.
One of my favorite friendly conversations on frequency happened between a WizzAir pilot and Budapest approach during the 2016 European Football Championship. The pilot asked for the scores of the two matches that evening. The controller only had the result of the earlier match right away, so he asked the tower off-frequency who had the result of the other match and relayed it to the pilot.
I love this. We’re not supposed to chat on the frequencies, but it’s been so quiet lately (I’ve been back flying for 2 weeks), I don’t blame them for taking the opportunity to say hello. Very heartwarming.
Always love these small coverstations on freq. I regularly receive these kind of exchanges in the evening on 123.450. Pilots trying planning to see each other and grap a beer for example... 'on monday i'm in New York' 'oh, i'm in Dubai then, how about friday?' 'Hongkong, landing there in the afternoon my friend'. 'Thats great, me too. I know a place there.', kind of talks.
is this really a thing? I always thought pilots were kind of lonely... Do you usually have 123.45 on COM2 and talk to each other? Never seen that on youtube at least.
One time in vatsim I had to do some homework while cruising on autopilot, everyone on frequency was just joking about it, the controller was actually a teacher! It was wholesome af, pilots are nice :)
It's funny how the Aussie pilot is so friendly and direct, and the Lux pilot is a bit short and reserved in the beginning, but then opens up after a little bit. =)
Don't be so sure. Was once in a convoy with two collagues and chitchatting all the way on our CB radios... At some point a random ham radio guy started asking questions as we got closer to his base station and said he had been listening our conversation for the last hour but we just couldn't hear him before 😂 sometimes it was also fun to drive at night behind another talkative pair and eavesdrop on their stories...
@@user-pr4ww4pt1x depends on radio and if you will even have one... Our trucks had them but you could only hear a couple kilometers away with standard antennas. Also not many companies use them anymore as everyone has a smartphone. But it's still useful in factory areas and scrap yards for example when talking to loaders. And oversize loads shout out their warnings too.
In the mid 70s flew into SeaTac one evening for a tour of approach facility and tower as part of instrument ground school in a new Archer. Departing about 20:30 the tower controller had about two minute conversation with me about the Archer. He had just purchased one and was curious how I liked the aircraft. I told him I was only a renter but thought it was a nice plane. He was very pleasant to talk to. Definitely can’t do that today.
That was so cute! That CP pilot was so Aussie! He really cracked me up. Fortunately, I'm really used to the accent so I don't have much trouble understanding it. The other bloke said he was from Luxembourg? Do they speak German there, because he sounded like he had a very strong German accent. It's so nice to hear people being friendly and funny for a change. Thanks a lot!
Hi! People of Luxembourg usually speak several languages, but "Lëtzebuergesch" as a native language has a proportion of about 50%. Most people speak German, French and English as well. Official languages, e.g. in communication with government agencies, are Lëtzebuergesch, French and German. Luxembourg is a small European nation with a population of about 600.000, so the boarder to France, Belgium and Germany is near, hence a noticeable proportion of people commute from France, Belgium or Germany to Luxembourg for work. About 10% of residents in Luxembourg even have the German nationality.
@@heiko3371 thank you so much for answering my question! Oh, that's right, I spaced on my European geography for a minute, lol! They were still teaching geography when I went to school. I'll think my generation was the last generation to learn geography. How sad! So, you do have your own language! That's really neat! I'm not your normal American. I love learning about different countries, their languages, cultures and customs. It makes me very happy, and then the world doesn't seem so big and scary. I'm of half-German, half-Irish descent. I still have relatives living in the state of Bavaria, in Hamburg. If this stupid pandemic ever goes away, I'd like to visit. Perhaps I can stick Luxembourg on the list. What's it like?
I live in Sandweiler, hence my user name. It is right next to Findel where the airport is in Luxembourg. During the lockdown I was lucky to look at those beautiful Cargolux 747s taking off (no other planes did for a while) and greatly helping by bringing back medical supplies to the Grand-Duchy and other nations. Great company currently flying 28 747s.
I was on a ferry of a 767 from Japan to Texas and heard a lot of this chatter. It was a night flight, and a lot of crews would call to let other crews know they were overtaking. It sounded like they essentially asked the slower jets to side step so they could get by, when they were at the same altitude. Guess you wouldn't want to be surprised by another jet overtaking you.
Nice! Not sure about overseas, but in the United States, air traffic is less than 50% of what it was before the pandemic, so ATC frequencies may not be as crowded with conversation / orders from controllers which may be why these aircraft were able to have this short conversation
It's an acknowledgement that the last transmission was received and understood. ATC uses it occasionally, as well, when they are busy. For non-critical transmissions, of course.
I was doing a little plane watching / spotting at the Portland Int'l airport (PDX) a few days ago. I was wondering; can the public ever get a tour of the air traffic control tower? Would be cool to go up and look.

My favourite exchange was between a WizzAir crew and LZKZ APP. They had a "special request" to warm up their dinner in a microwave oven in the tower.
I feel so nice after listening from their conversation
That warm and fuzzy feeling
As a person from Luxembourg, it's always cool to see our cargo carrier have such conversations!
I love hearing a fellow Aussie on the radio, always cheerful and sound like they are loving life up there

Oh good, they both continued to their destinations. I was worried for a bit there.
I guess this is what happens when the frequency sounds too quiet😂
I feel that cathay's pilot is an Australian
A lot of Cathay Pacific pilots are Aussies
Not captain Joe :( I'm sure he would have been much friendlier.
Love the little *click click* the Aussie pilot gives, don't know why :)
It's a conventional way of acknowledging a transmission, when it doesn't really need a reply
I was on a ferry of a 767 from Japan to Texas and heard a lot of this chatter. It was a night flight, and a lot of crews would call to let other crews know they were overtaking. It sounded like they essentially asked the slower jets to side step so they could get by, when they were at the same altitude. Guess you wouldn't want to be surprised by another jet overtaking you.
Can we get an F for the other Cathay Pacific 271 back there who didn't get any other plane to have a convo with? 😂
well they were definately 2 metres apart while having that conversation
well i think more than that... call that extreme social distancing
probably more like ... definitely
Judging by the accent I'd say the CLX pilot talking is a Dutchman. CPA guy definately is Australian
