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 inquires about their approach clearance estimate.
- When asked if there's a problem, the pilot humorously conveys an immediate need for a bathroom break, using the phrase, "Daddy, I gotta go potty!"
- Recognizing the urgency, the air traffic controller immediately clears the Bonanza 1234 for the approach.
