Overheard on Austin Approach:
AA123: “What’s going on down there? That’s the second time we’ve been vectored through the localizer!”
This was followed by a long pause.
AUS Approach: “Previous controller no longer a factor.”

Short Final: No Longer A Factor
Key Takeaways:
- A pilot expressed frustration after twice being vectored incorrectly by air traffic control.
- After a pause, the Austin Approach controller offered a remarkably brief and dry explanation for the issues.
- The controller's response, "Previous controller no longer a factor," implied a change in personnel or a resolution to the prior problem.
