Quick question for our members on the "other side of the scope screen".
When a controller hands off an airplane to another controller (center, approach, tower etc), do they have a way of communicating other information besides the required (I assume tail # etc)? As in: do they talk on a phone line or frequency in English or is it all impersonal and digital with a bleepty-bloop pop-up or something on a computer screen?
Where my question is really going: can a controller, let's say, warn another controller of a troubling pilot?
