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 was heard on the frequency.
