In my experience the NY ATC can be brusque in a way that can border on the unprofessional, and they tend to have an accent that can be hard to understand if you're not from there and you're listening on your crappy AM aviation radio. I assume that would go double for a non-native speaker of English.
In the rest of the country that I've flown in, the controllers seem to be aiming for the voice of bored Apollo mission controllers.

- CPLX 5y agoI’m a private pilot that’s flown in NYC Class B repeatedly and trained here. I think the reputations are overblown and based mostly on the novelty of the accents and some amusing audio clips that have circulated for years. Given the amazing volume they handle I’ve always found them nothing but crisp and professional. If you’re also basing your opinion on those audio clips rather than actually asking for clearances or navigating the exclusions I think you might also have the wrong impression.
