ATC Archie Awards - audio files

Bill thanks for posting this. I saw the piece on the AOPA site last night. BZ to all of those wonderful controllers !!!
 
I listened to all of 'em last year - it was pretty great. They were chilling and comforting at the same time, like a girlfriend with cold feet!
 
The Great Lakes one, "I just got my private yesterday" while flying only on instruments. Man... :yikes:

I noted that at least a couple of the controllers who got the awards had pilot or even CFII ratings. It really seems to help out!

A little disturbed by the Western Pacific one. They're tracking an avion(?) at 8,500 and insinuating it's in trouble, maybe because it doesn't have a transponder? Maybe it was in class B. I don't know. http://www.natca.org/assets/multimedia/cfs10/6th-archieaward-nwp.mp3

I do note that most of the Archie awards were for assisting GA aircraft!

It sounds to me like he was in Class B airspace, messing up the works for the airliners....without a transponder.

Bad combo.

Navion. No transponder or transponder not on. No indication of radio contact.

Scout CT522 (whoever that is) was close enough to identify the aircraft type. :yikes:
