Another Tale of the Competence of Aviators

[QazokRouge5]

Let us begin.

Jeffreys, (better known to you as Qazok or Jeff) flight instructor says "Let's plan a Cross country flight to Oklahoma City, and file an IFR Flight plan.

"Ok." Says I.

So we fly down to OKC, which is only about 50 or 60 miles south of here, do an ILS approach, land under VFR and begin to climb back out to go home. Atta way to spend 150$.

On our climbout, we're instructed by ATC to

"718EH, continue climbout, turn left and contact departure."

Er.... that's an odd instruction, but who am I to argue? Thinks I.

So I comply, and call up Departure Control,

ME: "OKC Departue 718EH is with you turning left off of the runway 400ft, destination Stillwater."

ATC: "What were your readback instructions?"

ME: "continue climbout, turn left and contact departure."

ATC: "What's your destination?"

ME: "Er, Stillwater."

WE HAVE A FLIGHT PLAN ON FILE YOU DUMB****, LOOK AT YOUR SCREEN!

ATC: "Uh, Ok... turn heading 090 and proceed until further instructions are recieved."

ME: "Roger."

Now, I know that 090 won't get me to Stillwater, as Stillwater is heading 010, but again, who am I to argue with ATC and thier Radar.

10 minutes later....

ATC: "718EH turn north and proceed via own navigation to Stillwater."

ME: "Will do, thanks 718EH."

5 minutes later....

ATC: "718EH what were your instructions? You just cut off two airliners? You need to review your IFR proceedures before coming back into class C airspace."

ME: "Sir, you cleared us to proceed to Stillwater via our own navigation, and we haven't seen any airliners out here, were operating in VMC."

ATC: "Son, if you want to get an attitude then we can do some paperwork, otherwise I reccomend you just keep going."

ME: "Roger."

WTF!? We have an IFR flightplan on file, and then he ****s it all up, and tells US to review our proceedures! We were flying at 6500 ft, we would have SEEN let alone FELT 2 airliners. There wasn't shit.

What a shitbird!

Anyway, I think we're going to report him.

It's cockheads like that that piss me off.
