Short Final
Overheard in IFR Magazine‘s “On the Air” During my IFR training at Duluth (Minnesota) International Airport, I’d just declared a missed approach. Here’s the exchange I had with ATC: Tower:“Cessna One Two Three Four Alpha: Fly heading of zero niner zero. Climb and maintain 3,200.” Me:“Zero niner zero, climb and maintain 2,200.” Tower:“Make that 3,000.” Me:“Climb and maintain 3,000.” Tower:“That should be 3,200. We’ll get it right eventually.” Me:“But will I? Climb and maintain 3,200.” Woody MinarDresser, Wisconsin

Me:

Me:
"Climb and maintain 3,000."
Tower:
"That should be 3,200. We'll get it right eventually."
