I concur.

Sounds rather formal...

Mila Love:

Many thanks! So, it seems there is no rule. Just a concept.
BRGDS!

You are welcome.
BRGDS -best regards???

2 Деловой:
"I agree" or just "agree" sounds for me much better than "I concur".

Mila: u're absolutely right (BRGDS = "best regards")

"I agree" or just "agree" sounds for me much better than "I concur".

I would probably try and say it
.... sounds better to me than...

Vow...I am getting there ;-)))
I used to learn basic Radiotelephony many years ago...
Perhaps, with your support and patience I would be able to brush up a bit...

Mila,
it's Wow!
Vow - promise

Mila: U mean that "sounds for (to) me better than" in this context is incorrect? If so, please specify why.

Mila: U mean that "sounds for (to) me better than" in this context is incorrect? If so, please specify why.

Well, I 'll tell you someting, shall I?
It's not just me , I ask my husband (He is a British snob with that hatred British accent :-)))))sometimes if I am not quite sure.
Something... sounds better to me than ...- this is classical one
As for me, something... sounds better than...-another one

Can you do me a favour, please.
I find it rather weird to talk to people, knowing only their nicknames.
Could you please identify yourselves somehow. Even fake names would do, if your real ones are not available under the circumstances.
So far I know Roman, ...
Thanks a lot

Well, I'm Dmitry

1. write up в авиационном английском используется в значении "сделать запись в бортжурнале о неисправности", есть и существительное с тем же значением - write-up. Вот, можно попросить Ромео, oldnavy или Арабского летчика привести примеры write-ups. Например, "the bloody thing would not take-off, climb, cruise, approach and land. Please fix it" :)

2. Нет, товарищи, with all due respect, как говорится, но, по крайней мере, ни от боинговцев, ни от FAА, ни от NTSB, ни от FSF я "aircrafts" никогда не слышал. Так что че-то у меня есть большие сомнения, что так можно говорить

3. Mila, у меня собран целый файлик pilot's humor, в основном с форума Airline Pilot Central, правда большую часть шуток в присутствии дамы не принято использовать :)

Mila, many people don't leave any easily traceable personal information on the internet..."BIG BRO IS WATCHIN' US!!!!". :)

xolodenko: "aircrafts" я, честно говоря, тоже в официальных документах и "из уст" официальных лиц тоже никогда не слышал.. Во всяком случае, не припоминаю такого..

Вот, из приличного:

Tower: Flight 256, turn left 90 degrees.
Captain: Roger, but how come?
Tower: Noise abatement.
Captain. We are at FL350 so I don't understand how it affects the noise.
Tower: Ever heard the sound that a 727 and a 747 makes when they crash into each other?

**********

What do you call a pregnant f/a? Pilot error

***********

What is the similarity between air traffic controllers and pilots? If a pilot screws up, the pilot dies; If ATC screws up, .. the pilot dies.



Son, your wife's legs have more time in the air than you do.
( a welcome to a new co-pilot from an old captain.)

***********

Pilot (on final, on a dark night , is switching off the landing lights): "Tower, guess who´s coming now?"
Controller (switching off runway lights): "Don´t know, but guess where we are!"


Специально для Авиадиспетчера:

How do you know when you have been an air traffic controller for too long?
When you begin giving your children directions in terms of airspeed and altitude, and ask your spouse to expedite from the toilet.



Если здесь есть вертолетчики:

Helicopters don't actually fly -- they just beat the air into submission.



Не мог удержаться: про басы:

When the last A320 at NWA is shipped off to the boneyard, the crew will deadhead home on a DC-9 and their bags will be shipped on a DC-3



What is the difference between a pilot and a jet engine?
A jet engine stops whining soon after landing.

Политически некорректный анекдот:

A plane leaves Los Angeles airport under the control of a Jewish captain. His co-pilot is Chinese. It's the first time they've flown together and an awkward silence between the two seems to indicate a mutual dislike.
Once they reach cruising altitude, the Jewish captain activates the auto-pilot, leans back in his seat, and mutters, "I don't like the Chinese."

- "You don't like the Chinese?" asks the copilot, "why not?"
- "You people bombed Pearl Harbor, that's why!"
- "No, no, " the copilot protests, "the Chinese didn't bomb Pearl Harbor! That was the Japanese."
- "Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese......doesn't matter, you're all alike!"

There's a few minutes of silence.

- "I don't like Jews!!" the co-pilot suddenly announces.
- "Why not?" asks the captain.
- "The Jews sank the Titanic."
- "Jews didn't sink the Titanic!" exclaims the captain, "it was an iceberg!"
- "Iceberg, Goldberg, Greenberg, no matter......they're all same!"

Comparatively to the Ip, just the 1-st name isn't so sensitive information to leave in the net I think.

TO XODOLENKO
Ну может быть из большого можно наскрести чё-нить миниатюрненькое. не махровое..в то мне придётся Вас забанить:-)))
Неужели нет ничего такого забавного из собственного опыта...и написать красиво, на хорошем английском :-)))

Ну а если честно, ценю Ваше благородство, спасибо!

Those were cute ones;-))))

During my day job during simultaneous take offs and landings on Viennas runway 34 a Lufthansa 737-500 was on final and an Alitalia MD80 was asked if he could and then accepted an immediate takeoff. The MD80 lined up on the Runway and stopped, Tower reminded him that he'd been cleared "immediate takeoff Runway 34" and the Lufthansa crew to confirm their intentions chimed in with "Hey spaghetti get moving, we want to land!"
******
Tower: “Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o’clock, 6 miles.”

Delta 351: “Give us another hint. We have digital watches.”

Так похоже на мой прежний пост об идентификации...

From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: “I’m f…ing bored.”

Ground Traffic Control: “Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!”

Unknown aircraft: “I said I was f…ing bored, not f…ing stupid.”

Just type "pilots humor" in Google line, and results wouldn'd disappoint you

One day the pilot of a Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold short of the active runway while a DC-8 landed. The DC-8 landed, rolled out, turned around, and taxied back past the Cherokee.

Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said, “What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?”

The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger: “I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I’ll have enough parts for another one.”

Thanks Dmitrii!!
Those are already being told by someone else..
Anything from your own experience...
The target is brushing UP your language!!

WHY I WANT TO BE A PILOT

When I grow up I want to be a pilot because it's a fun job and easy to do. That's why there are so many pilots flying around these days.

Pilots don't need much school. They just have to learn to read numbers so they can read their instruments.

I guess they should be able to read a road map, too.

Pilots should be brave to they won't get scared it it's foggy and they can't see, or if a wing or motor falls off.

Pilots have to have good eyes to see through the clouds, and they can't be afraid of thunder or lightning because they are much closer to them than we are.

The salary pilots make is another thing I like. They make more money than they know what to do with. This is because most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots don't because they know how easy it is.

I hope I don't get airsick because I get carsick and if I get airsick, I couldn't be a pilot and then I would have to go to work.

— purported to have been written by a fifth grade student at Jefferson School, Beaufort, SC. It was first published in the South Carolina Aviation News.

I like that one re: accents (beatiful British one) :-))
A Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following:

Lufthansa (in German): “Ground, what is our start clearance time?”

Ground (in English): “If you want an answer, you must speak in English.”

Lufthansa (in English): “I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?”

Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): “Because you lost the bloody war.”

I'm shocked by truthfulness of aforementioned storty (WHY I WANT TO BE A PILOT)

MSL
Nice one!!!

У моего приятеля сынишка смешно переводил на первых порах с американского на русский.
К примеру, "to be or not to be?", он перевел как "две пчелы или не две пчелы?"

Перевожу по памяти:
Russian plane: Frankfurt ground XXX after landing on TW NN, request taxi instructions to the gate.
Ground (with mockery): Are you first time here?
Plane: Actually the second. First time was in 1945, but we hadn't landed at that time

Good effort!!

May be it's rather my fault, or the course is intensive...
Do we need a pit stop or just slow down a bit...

Mila Love, no, this specific topic works just fine for me. Much more interesting than weather thing, no offense

No doubt...carry on then...ON one condition "SPEAK ENGLISH, PLEASE"
See everybody tomorrow, bye

Here is my story:
Stewardess: Calm down, calm down please, gentlemen . There is no reason to worry so much at all. It's just a turbulence. It's a usual think during flight and it doesn't threaten our safety at all. It will end soon I promise. Do you fill better? Ok, then sit down and fasten your seat belts. I'll go to check how our passengers doing.
