DEI air traffic controller arguing with a pilot saying she googled it.

Ok. Who's right?

She sounds like a dumb bitch. How can you speak with so much conviction if you are using google vs a pilot who has over a decade of experience.

Need more of these undercover videos.

The Art of Flight is a homage to 80s/90s arcade action shmups with a fresh twist on the genre. Pilot multiple ships at the same time to take on oncoming waves of enemies in this fast paced space shooter. Wishlist on Steam today!

Yep, that was a DEI hire

@grok who is correct on short approach in this video?

The pilot likely had the more accurate interpretation of "short approach," as it aligned with his training needs for a power-off 180 maneuver, common in commercial checkrides. The controller's insistence on turning base abeam the runway numbers was less practical for the pilot's goal and her use of Google during operations was unprofessional. However, the term "short approach" lacks a strict FAA definition, causing ambiguity. Both could have communicated more clearly to avoid confusion.

This can't be real. That ATC should be fired immediately.

Always believe the man vs a woman. Always.

Oh, she googled it so it must be completely accurate to the point that she's going to argue with a 25 year pilot.

Cool
