Key Takeaways:

  • An Air Traffic Controller offered a visual approach to an airliner (Airline 123).
  • The pilot of Airline 123 consulted "the Big Guy" (presumably the Captain) before accepting the visual approach.
  • The ATC controller humorously acknowledged the acceptance, confirming "Visual 10 for the Big Guy!"

While flying an ADS-B test around NYC, I overheard this exchange:

ATC:
“Airline 123, would you like the visual for 10?”

Airliner 123:
“Let me ask the Big Guy.”

[pause]

Airliner 123:
“That will be fine.”

ATC:
“Visual 10 for the Big Guy!”
