When Freud Slips Into The Cockpit.
Miami Center near the Keys on a summer afternoon with large storms…Center: Cessna 1234, how’s the ride at 5000? I can give you 7000 if it helps.
Cessna 1234: Moderate turbulence and looks bad ahead … but its not gonna be better at seven, I think we will just pray … (pause) … I mean stay at 5000,
Cessna 1234 (Different Voice): Center, I think we’re gonna do a bit of both.
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- An air traffic controller offered a Cessna a higher altitude to mitigate moderate turbulence.
- The Cessna pilot made a Freudian slip, saying they would "pray" at their current altitude instead of "stay."
- Another person in the cockpit humorously acknowledged the slip, suggesting they'd do "a bit of both."
