Never understood with all the development in radio emitters, receivers, and things like wifi and bluetooth, nobody's managed to filter airport comms to stop sounding so horrifically distorted that 90% of it is incomprehensible. Any chance you could walk us through why that could be?

[@worldaviation4k]

@@InservioLetum have a look at what they use when flying over the atlantic ocean. Its interesting. HF radio. Recently they made it so the pilots dont have to listen to static for the whole crossing, only when they need to check in amd out and if cpdlc fails

That operator whose theme is "EARTH TO ___ ___" whenever the pilots don't respond is hilarious and great. If I was a pilot he'd make my day or night every time with that. "He's lost on a frequency to another planet it seems" is phenomenal. Guy could easily be a comedian with that timing, cadence and tone.

In an environment where there's absolutely no room for error, it's nice to know that these guys can still have a moment or two of funny conversation. I used to work in a similar environment and the funny moments help you make to the end of the day and getting home.

[@donnafromnyc]

Most of the recording of KS are ground. When it gets crazy, or when he deals with non English primary language pilots, he slows down and simplifies. Turkish and the Chinese airlines get my vote as the ones who are the most difficult for ground ATC to handle.

[@kennethjackson7574]

My favorite was a friend of mine at a small airport somewhere. He checks in when outside the hanger, is told to taxi somewhere and wait, then told to taxi somewhere else and wait, then told to taxi to the end of one of the runways and given permission to take off. He did. Only after cruising down the runway a few feet above it did the tower actually look and realize his aircraft was rotary wing!

Towards the end you get a taste of the Eternal Battle between Kennedy Steve and the tugs. Tugs and Super Tugs for the heavies always needed but they have the WORST radios and they are not in soundproof cabs so they deal with background noise. Plus they are getting squawks from the ramp etc.

"Alitalia whatever your number is" Man we're so dead as an airline at this point there's only one of our aircraft on the strip at any one time. Feelsbadman. Also there's so much hypersensitivity. Yes, ATCs do expect pilots that can fly Aeroplanes and require years of study and around 1500+ hours for most airlines in charge of the lives of hundreds of people - to have the most minimal degree of common sense. This often fails them. It doesn't just piss off ATC when they don't have it; but it also pisses off ground ops on the ramp.
