Random short clips

Thanks for the transcript i didn't feel like listening.

Somehow missing the somewhat typical: "Approach clearance canceled" from the controller.
But even if you are cleared for the approach a heading instruction should remain a heading instruction and be followed.
I mean they even read it back but apparently didn't turn.

Nov 10 2018: Qantas flight QF157 (A330 VH-QPF) from Melbourne to Auckland develops a technical problem shortly after takeoff, the crew advise ATC that they will need to return to Melbourne but would first like to hold for around 10 mins to burn fuel/reduce weight. The aircraft holds over the Southeast suburbs at 7000ft before making a normal approach and landing on RWY34. The exact nature of the problem wasn't revealed on the ATC frequency.

Hi tigerheavy,

Just a quick question: are these files you share recorded by yourself? I'm just asking because I tried to find some firther comms from the QFA157 and the feed from Melbourne is extremely noisy and definitely not as clear as yours.

If you're recording these yourself, thanks for sharing.

VASAviation,

Yes, most of my comms are recorded from my own radio scanner, I generally only hit record though when an aircraft presents with a problem and I'm in a position to monitor.

DEC 12 2018: A Cobham Aviation BAe 146-300(QT) registered VH-NJM operating cargo flight JTE7451 (callsign "Jetex") from Melbourne to Sydney makes a midair return due to an issue with the altimeter.

DEC 27 2018: Air New Zealand flight NZ891 (A320 ZK-OJE) from Christchurch to Melbourne abandons an approach to RWY27 due to a flap system failure. ATC vector the aircraft to the southeast to hold so the crew can run checklists and remedy the problem. About 25 minutes later the aircraft makes a normal approach and landing on RWY34.

Hi tigerheavy,

just as an FYI if you want the title on this page:
https://www.liveatc.net/recordings.php

be correct for your contributions you can change the subject even when responding in a thread
(So if i would attach an mp3 to this post the title on the recordings page would be "Hey tigerheavy ")

[tigerheavy]

Thanks wiedehopf, I've edited the subject line.

Heard this great snippet just now.

[VASAviation]

Ha! Would love to know what those guys say right at the end of the clip. I can't quite understand them but that pilot was really clear on his thought on the taxiway's braking action

[wiedehopf]

@vas a short transcript for you:

Controller: XYZ heavy, how was the breaking?
Pilot: Standby!
Controller: Roger.
Pilot: I would say the breaking action was medium initially and after we rolled out a ?way? it changed to good.
Controller: Thank you!
Pilot: Taxiway braking is sh**
Other pilot: That's a technical term.
Controller: That is a technical term, i liked it, United ..... normal instructions continue

[VASAviation]

Ha ha!! Thanks for that!!

Do you have the archive that clip came from? I'd love to hear a little bit more about it.

Thanks for sharing though!

There wasn't really anything relevant around it and i purposely kept it without callsigns because of it being explicit.
It was probably an hour or so before the 737 went into the grass landing 4R at O'Hare.
