Recently heard at Manchester international:
Nameless 747 jock: “Ground, can you confirm that a ‘400 will fit between these two lamposts?”
ATC: “Yip, absolutely, no shadow of a doubt, definitely will.”
… pause …
ATC: “Assuming you are on the centreline…..”
Short Final …
Key Takeaways:
- A 747 pilot at Manchester International Airport humorously asked if their aircraft could fit between two lampposts.
- Air Traffic Control (ATC) initially confirmed that it was indeed possible.
- ATC then critically clarified that this confirmation was contingent on the aircraft being precisely on the centerline.
