Key Takeaways:

  • An air traffic controller (Approach) asked a pilot if they had the current ATIS (Automated Terminal Information Service), "information November."
  • The pilot responded they were waiting for "information December."
  • This exchange occurred just before the top of the hour, humorously indicating the pilot's strategy to wait for the newest ATIS update.
