"BABPI" sounds pretty likely to me… It's tempting to guess that she simply gave us a clearance meant for another plane, but I didn't hear anyone else cleared to BABPI while on-frequency.<BR/><BR/>As far as NorCal controllers go, I can't help noticing they seem to have a lot of minor problems with the KOAK RNAV 27L approach: vectors to wrong fixes, bad altitudes, confusing it with the RNAV 27R approach (which happened with me and Evan), forgetting that you didn't want the ILS, calling it the wrong name, etc. Maybe it's just me :-).Hamishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238239589217873611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056175.post-74194569140256845342007-11-16T11:30:00.000-08:002007-11-16T11:30:00.000-08:00The Final Approach Fix on the Byron RNAV RWY 30 ap...The Final Approach Fix on the Byron RNAV RWY 30 approach is named BABPI, but that's the best guess I can hazard.<BR/><BR/>I've noticed that many of the NORCAL controllers seem to be trained on multiple sectors. I often hear the same voices on different frequencies, depending on the day of the week. So it could be the controller had been working the 123.85 frequency earlier and just had that fix name stuck in his/her head.Avimentorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508862704398151334noreply@blogger.com
