In a holding pattern behind several aircraft…
Pilot: …your estimate for our clearance for the approach.
Controller: Bonanza 1234, is there a problem?
Pilot: Do the words, “Daddy, I gotta go potty!” mean anything to you?
Controller: Bonanza 1234, cleared for the approach.
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- A pilot, stuck in a holding pattern, urgently requests an estimated time for approach clearance.
- When asked about a problem, the pilot humorously conveys extreme urgency by quoting a child needing to "go potty."
- The air traffic controller immediately responds by clearing the aircraft for the approach.
