Key Takeaways:

  • A pilot experienced an autocorrect error while texting about needing aviation fuel (Jet A with prist) in tough weather conditions.
  • The text message humorously changed "prist" to "priest," resulting in a request for "200 gals. Jet A with priest."

This didn’t happen on the radio but was a texting classic. The weather was tough, and we needed just a bit of Jet A. And we always take prist. Apparently, autocorrect saw the gravity of the situation. As I texted the other pilot, it came out as:

“We need 200 gals. Jet A with priest.”
