Aviation Radio Etiquette

As most of us know, it's pretty much an unwritten rule in the aviation world
that you don't yell or snap at a fellow pilot on the radio. It's considered
bad form. Normally, if a fellow pilot makes a mistake while flying, a short
communication, correcting his mistake, is all that's necessary. If further
communication is required, you wait until the person lands, quietly pull them
aside, and advise them what they did wrong.

One Saturday, a hapless pilot approached our airport, mistakenly communicating
on our old frequency of 122.8Mhz. Our airport manager visibly lost his temper,
practically pushed our counter clerk out of the way, and snapped on the radio
"Ocean City changed it's frequency nearly 17 months ago!" in a very angry tone.
No one could believe it. It was very sad and it was an embarrassment to Ocean City.

So, there's a lesson to you young pilots! Keep your cool, and refrain from showing
your anger over the radio. It's been a tradition since the first radio was installed
in an airplane.
