I have spoken to people who have listened into aviation communications. They have told me that most of what is being said doesn’t make any sense to them. Here is an example of what you may hear if you were to listen into a flight from New York going to London.

I am going to make up a typical communication from an ATC to the pilot of a Triple 7, or a B-777. I would be interested to know if anyone here could explain what is being said. Tower: “United 2-3-1, turn left heading .0-8-0, then proceed to TOKEN.” That’s an example of a very easy communication. So, can you tell me what it means?
 

I think there are pilots on here that could tell you but.... the atc (not the tower,the people in the dark room staring at radarscreen) are talking to the united flight 2-3-1 and telling them to turn to 080 degrees and proceed to intersection point token probably to receive further instructions as to takeoff or landing...such as gain altitude to fl level and speed or turn on to landing vortac and contact the tower for landing instructions...

You must have aviation experience. When I addressed ATC, normally, I would use the city name, like “Miami Approach, United 2-3-1, requesting vectors to Runway 8 Right using the ILS.” Or something to that affect.
Did you or do you fly?
 
no actually I talked to navy pilots from airplot follow-on, as well as atc from local center because of military restricted air zones, but I aint stupid, I can read and figure out most things,,besides if you knew your last post why ask us???????????

I heard that if a controller could survive N90 he or she is the best of the best.
