Overheard enroute from RMG to 45J…
Pilot: Approach, Skylane N###, Could I have a right turn direct mydestination?
Approach: Standby. I’ll check to see if that Dash 8 doing 200 knots up your five-o’clock feels like wearing you on his lapel…
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- A pilot requested a right turn directly to their destination from air traffic control (Approach).
- Approach denied the request, sarcastically indicating the presence of a fast-moving Dash 8 aircraft in close proximity.
- The controller's response highlighted the immediate collision risk if the pilot's requested maneuver were granted.
