Feed Outage/Status Reports / Re: KPDX Tower Feeds Occasionally Offline

Not sure if this is the correct way to do this, but wanted to report the feed is back online and does appear to be working better. KPDX tower and ground/del reception has improved, but new antenna location decremented ATIS and App Final #2. After 6 hours, no noticeable interference, keeping fingers crossed.better,

Aviation Audio Clips / KDCA 5/23/25 1615Z Cessna SFRA Deviation / JIA5668 Go-Around for USCG Blackjack

« Last post by baldiedc on May 23, 2025, 21:55:04 UTC »

5/23/25 ~1615Z Blackjack-1 US Coast Guard MH65 requests Eastbound departure over DCA requiring go-around by JIA5668 on ~5mi final for Rwy 1 just south of Wilson Bridge.

This mission was presumably in response to a Cessna flying between Freeway and Tipton airports in MD squawking 1200 which did not have an SFRA flight plan and was not on Potomac frequency (ADIZ East 132.77).  Presumably this aircraft was not transmitting ADSB either as no data was available on ADSB-Exchange other than a couple of radar data points.

1611Z ADIZ East and KRANT controllers were attempting to contact aircraft "5mi South of Tipton" (ADIZ East) / "4mi North of Freeway" (KRANT). 

1613Z ADIZ East continues attempts to contact aircraft "in the pattern at Tipton squawking 1200"

1614Z ADIZ East asked CAP1820 in the area of Tipton at the time, to relay the message to the Cessna (presumably on a Tipton advisory frequency) to contact Potomac.  Cessna pilot made contact; pilot was given squawk and VFR instructions for return to Tipton, and phone number for possible pilot deviation after brief discussion on lack of required SFRA flight plan

1616Z Blackjack departs DCA to the East, around the time Potomac had finished communicating with the Cessna which was returning to Tipton

1619Z Blackjack broke off with request to return to DCA via standard Zone 2/5 route.

Bonus material - ADIZ East controller telling CAP1820 to stay out of TFR at Naval Academy.

Combination of ADIZ East (132.77), KRANT (125.65), HELI and TWR starting ~1611Z.  Edited for time and content, not realtime etc.

Listener Forum / Re: Geneva frequencies missing

« Last post by thowe on May 23, 2025, 19:01:59 UTC »

Hello grxninesix

Thank you for your feedback. I support the feeder for LSGG with software know-how. And we hear you!

The problem is that we offer the current LSGG feeds remotely (Bern area) with directional antennas. This means we can forget about the “local” frequencies. I was in contact with a radio amateur on the shores of Lake Geneva who wanted to feed the local frequencies. But then that got lost.

We are therefore looking for someone who would be happy to host the set-up at his place, has the possibility to do so and has good reception from the airport.

Sorry that I don't have any better news.

Aviation Audio Clips / Pilot makes emergency belly landing at Arlington airport

« Last post by KB4TEZ on May 23, 2025, 14:20:17 UTC »

https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/emergency-belly-landing-arlington-airport/3847232/

(incredible video in the link of the  landing, nicely done !!!!!)

The pilot of a twin-engine Cessna made an emergency belly landing at Arlington Municipal Airport on Thursday.

With gears retracted, the pilot touched down on a foam-covered runway at about 12:42 p.m. and slid to a stop.

A few moments later, two people exited the aircraft with their luggage and walked away, apparently uninjured.

John Illson, an aviation safety expert with decades of commercial airline experience as a captain and advisor to the FAA, said foam is generally applied to runways during abnormal landing situations to reduce fire risk.

Condolences on the loss of your Dad that day.  Unfortunately, LiveATC does not have archived audio dating back to 2015. There's also nothing in the forum's audio clips section either.

Aviation Accidents/Incidents / Requesting Mayday Audio – August 6, 2015 Cessna 182F Crash (CA)

« Last post by Sienabacino1@gmail.com on May 23, 2025, 09:42:12 UTC »

Hi there,

I’m searching for any preserved ATC audio related to a Cessna 182F crash that occurred on August 6, 2015, around 10:10 PM PDT in Los Padres National Forest, California.

The aircraft reportedly issued a Mayday call referencing oil on the windscreen and smoke in the cockpit. It was being piloted by David Martz and had one passenger, Birger Greg Bacino (my father). The plane went down shortly after, and both occupants were killed.

I’ve submitted FOIA requests to the FAA and NTSB, but I wanted to ask here in case anyone had access to archived ATC audio or knows if this transmission was ever captured by LiveATC.

Any help or direction is deeply appreciated. Thank you.

Aviation Audio Clips / Re: Citation N666DS crashes short of KMYF

« Last post by Rick on May 22, 2025, 21:36:33 UTC »

Thanks for that.  I first checked the approach frequency for KMYF (124.35) and found the calls, but it never occurred to me that they would probably be combined at that hour (duh! - it was 3:30am PST).  Thanks for setting me straight.  I have posted a new clip with both sides of the conversation - makes more sense now.  Still no hint of any problem...
