Someone's getting a phone call

Post by Pieces »

Interesting situation this evening, handled very well by the controller:
http://audio.pilotedge.net/2019/11/2019 ... _17510.mp3 starts at about 3:50.

Aircraft not in radio contact does a lap of the pattern a KSMX. The call sign of the aircraft is pointed out, but does not return anything in PEAware - so no identity stuff.

I did not see the aircraft (didn't expect it at all due to no radio contact) until it dove under me on short final, did a touch and go and went off again. Real world would have been a very bad situation.
