Short Final

Here’s a funny exchange I heard on the radio. … Cessna Pilot (sounding like a nervous newbie): “Charlotte Approach, Cessna 12345 at 5,000. Would like to descend to 7,000.” … Charlotte Approach:”Cessna 12345, I think you mean you’d like to climb to 7,000.” … Cessna Pilot: “Uh, sorry. I’m still a new instrument pilot.” … Charlotte Approach (chuckling): “Cessna 12345, climb and maintain 7,000.” … Other Pilot on Frequency: “Approach, maybe he was upside-down.” … Laughter on the frequency. — Rob
