Short Final
Overheard in IFR Magazine‘s “On the Air” En route from San Antonio to Kerville, Texas, I let my 19-year-old private-pilot-rated daughter run the radios: Piper Six Seven Romeo: Center, Piper Six Seven Romeo. Center: Piper Six Seven Romeo, go ahead. Piper Six Seven Romeo: Request flight following. Center: Piper Six Seven Romeo, state your location, altitude, and destination. Piper Six Seven Romeo: [After a long pause] Uh, San Antonio. Center: [After pause] Piper Six Seven Romeo, when you figure out where you are and where you want to go, give us a call back.
