- BalinKing 6y agoAs a fun fact, I was taught a shorter version (during private pilot instruction): "You have the control." "I have the control." IDK if it changes between aircraft types, commercial/private/military cultures, or if it's just coincidence.
- regularfry 6y agoYep, I had this version in a military trainer.

- rurp 6y agoRock climbing is remarkably similar. When a climber begins up a route the standard exchange with their belayer (the person managing the rope and keeping them alive in a fall) goes something like A: "Belay on?" B: "Belay on" A: "Climbing" B: "Climb on" Then the climber begins. It's interesting to me that highly regulated and totally unregulated activities have evolved extremely similar processes. I suppose having your life on the line is a good motivator to follow best practices.
