Every reply is saying the radio’s clearer for them, they’re used to it, etc., but I’ve also heard pilots complain that talking fast like this is a problem because as always some people take it to extremes. The fast mumbling seems to be a kind of symbol of experience in aviation culture: https://youtu.be/picf7sPEhi8 https://youtu.be/picf7sPEhi8
- moribvndvs 3y agoThe mumbling blows my mind. I flew with a former coworker a few years ago, my first private flight in decades. While very cool, and knowing a lot of information is pretty rote or trivial for them, I was astounded how much they (ATC, other pilots, and my pilot… mostly the latter two) mumbled, trailed off, or mixed things up because they were talking too fast. I do realize that speed is paramount to clear the channel and that nothing was actually wrong but it was still jarring to witness.
