hey folks,

i got the liveatc app a few days ago... it all worked fine so far. but now there aren't any channels neither in the "Countries" nor in the "USA" tab.

TOP50, HF & U.S. ARTCC still work...

hope someone can tell me something about that bug.

I found the info about channel 9 on Wikipedia  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines

"The entire fleet features "From the Flightdeck" on channel 9. This program allows passengers to listen to live radio communications between the cockpit and Air Traffic Control. "From the Flightdeck" can be disabled at the pilot's discretion."


This is a nice feature of United, especially for us who like to listen to ATC!!  grin 

I do have questions about the use of a scanner in the air but I'll start that thread in the lister forum.

They are the military the can do what they want. Enough said.

The FAA and the USAF disagree with you.  Until we officially declare war on Pilatus anyway.

Sounds like Both GA Pilots were full of them self's. "He's to close to my airplane" Really? I mean Really? The F-16 cost 10 times as much as "Your Plane"

I've been unable to find the FAR that states required separation distance is inversely proportional to the resale value differential of the participating aircraft.

The F-16 also has a marked advantage in the ratio of ejection seats to passengers.

I would have grabbed a camera and took a picture.

As a passenger, sure.  As a pilot your primary responsibility is the safety of your aircraft and passengers, not sightseeing.

That's an awesome idea for a commercial!  I see that they used a weather balloon for the chair.  We now know what it looks like when a RAOB is launched.

Only looks to affect departures (not arrivals or aircraft already flying).  So yeah, expect major ground stops at many of the large airports.

"FAA computer problem causes widespread delays"

Could make for an interesting day...

Thought this might be a hoax on first viewing. Research reveals it's been done before. This is a similar stunt and shows the trip up. And down. And has pics of the camera rig used. Interesting.

Nobody here would argue that entering an active MOA is a desirable option, but that doesn't excuse the military pilot from entering an unauthorized formation flight with 2 GA pilots. Your quotes AIM sections give authority of military airspace to the DOD or other controlling agency, and allow military aircraft to break rules that should only apply to civilian aircraft (such as the 250kts rule, or rule regarding aerobatic training). However, it does not give the F16 pilot the authority to intercept or formation fly with any aircraft he chooses. As it stands, both GA pilots were acting in accordance with all regulations and both were in contact with ATC at the time. The military had not authorized an interception and the F16 pilot was acting on his own accord.

If I remember correctly (this incident took place in 2008), the F16 pilot did end up reprimanded. Being part of the military doesn't make you immune to rules, regulations or laws.

They are not Governed by the FAA. They make their own rules, When it comes to the military the FAA plays by their rules.
