And take the heat off the OP? Oh, I hope not.

I heard a UAL pilot get caught doing 450 in a 250 going into ORD the other day. For those that don't know we have a 250 kt indicated airspeed limit below 10,000.
Chicago Departure: "United xxx say speed."
UAL xxxx: "Ah.... 250."
Chicago Departure: "American xxx say speed."
AA xxx: "250 kts."
Chicago Departure: "United xxx, ah.... your 250 is 200 kts faster than AA xxx's 250 in front of you and you are about to run him over. Let me know when you are ready to copy down a phone number."
BUSTED. :biggrin:
What is the penalty (if any) for that?
They will fill out an ASAP (Aviation Safety Action Program) report with their airline describing why and how, what they learned and how to prevent a repeat. When you rat yourself out and they don't know, there is no penalty, the program is used to promote learning and acquire stats for safety program. When the FAA already knows then more than likely you get a "Warning Notice of Administrative Action" in your file which is expunged after two years. A warning notice is the lowest level of FAA enforcement. However, the ASAP program participation prevents the FAA from taking enforcement action against your certificate and the company from punitive action.
So long story short - they will get a warning letter in their FAA file for 2 years.
Most of the time ATC just reminds us about the 250 kts by asking our speed ~ which means say 250 and slow the hell down, but in this case they must have caused a loss of separation between them and the AA flight in front of them. So it was the controller's butt or the pilots, so he gave them the 800-NOF-LY4U phone # to call.![]()
Really? You're trash talking? I know there are two sides to every story and I can see how you might have gotten the return shipment after a long delay and THEN seen that the street number was wrong and now you feel unjustly accused of being a rip-off artist. But was that console REALLY clean? I was ready to stick up for you and tell Steve I thought his post was a little harsh. But then you attack his work. And that crack about "your wife is calling"...what was THAT all about? Over the line!
Maybe the white hid kit isn't purple enough for the two people you know. I love the kit myself. But then I was never a big fan of the blue/purple headlight craze.
My apologies for taking up the time of other primers with this stuff. It's a slow day at work.
If anyone is going to destroy the reputation of NSX owners as being "a bunch of great guys", my money is on the guy who's (a) stupid enough to drive drunk, (b) stupid enough to go 120 mph, (c) stupid enough to do both in front of a cop, (d) stupid enough to do both after getting caught in the past for doing the same stupid thing, (e) stupid enough to leave the open bottles in the car while doing this, and (f) stupid enough to post about it in this forum.
I wonder if this thread will go epic viral too. It's got all the makings:
1) Initial post which sounds innocent enough, but with suspicious under-pinnings.
2) Defensive OP has back and forth with other posters.
3) Some people give the benefit of doubt and defend, some people lay on with the beating.
4) Bombshell is dropped of something that is revealed.
5) Everybody jumps on the bashing bandwagon.
6) Wise is cracked.
7) Mugshot is posted.
8) OP still posts defiantly, insults people, and only digs deeper hole.
9) More beating and more jokes.
10) OP realizes mistake and edits first post.
11) Thread goes viral and other forums start posting in.
12) Somebody posts the “Legendary Thread” picture.
Seriously that’s the formula. I think we are somewhere around stage 10.
Hey, CL65 Captain...just a lowly commercial, non ATP pilot here, but wouldn't the United guy be talking to Chicago Approach, not departure? :smile: Also, he could also submit the NASA "get out of jail free" form as well, as long as ATC didn't report the incident. (It's saved my ass a couple of times.)
yawn.... how about you go get another nsx and post another 20k feedbacks so everyone else can listen to your bamble.... geez...

Oh no, I've been insulted by a repeat offender drunk speeder! I feel so hurt! :biggrin:yawn.... how about you go get another nsx and post another 20k feedbacks so everyone else can listen to your bamble.... geez...
