Hi,
I have this question to the US, UK or other english well prepared guys here:
As you perhapes noticed from my "school-english" at this forum here - I`m from Germany - I have some probs while listening to the ATC feeds here...but still trying to understand as much as possible nevertheless...
But here I really need your help because my english isnt good enough:
Yesterday (sunday, 27th) there were some thunderstorms that hit KJFK pretty bad and created some probs for departing acrfts. I downloaded and listened to this KJFK-GND feed from 27th July (yesterday) 1900Zulu...
http://archive-server.liveatc.net/kjfk/KJFK-Del-Gnd-Jul-27-2008-1900Z.mp31) At
20:24 Min of this feed a pilot talks to the ATC-GND-controller and asks something like "...Is
Wavy coming good now...?"
Question: What is meant by the term "Wavy/Wawy" (dont know if the spelling is correct here)? At first I thought it might be a new SID-route (re-routing because of the bad weather over the field) but didnt find such a designator in the KJFK SIDs at all...
EDIT:2) At
16:22 min. of the feed the controller says something like :
"...If you get a shift/ship(?) I can get you out of here..."
Question: What is meant by the term "shift/ship" (once again dont know if the spelling is correct here)?
Thanks for your kind help here...
