Or you just suckAnd wtf are the 6T's??? Isn't that primary lingo?
Well, I suck less.
6Ts are the wave of the future!
See, I just CQ'ed in the 45 and just closed my eye's hoped for the best.
Closed your eye's what?
When you do your procedures, don't forget to dot your Ts and cross your eyes
<-- cross-eyed emoticon
Remember the compulsory voice reports in a non radar environment? Yeah, me neither.

Position, time, altitude, position, time position.
Not needed since primary, yet stuck in my memory forever with tons of other useless knowledges.
Yet I can't remember people's names five minutes after I meet them.
My instrument check in the HT's we went up to Montgomery. Approach radar was down, so I actually had to give a real PTAPTP report!
On leg home, Approach told me I either needed to hold or climb to 7K and contact Center. I looked at the IP and asked him what we should do and his response was "it's your checkride, made the decision".
So, knowing that I am less likely to screw up holding that I am doing a climb and switch channels, I elect to go with Center.
Once I check in with Center, I get put into holding. The first and only time I've been assigned holding was my Instrument Check in flight school.

This should be a sticky.
That's why I always carry an IFR SUP.
It sounds like a lot of you guys don't have much experience flying overseas (both foreign shores and over seas). I've been in holding, had to make position reports, and even use HF comms. That was all normal and just part of the job.
I'm not questioning your overall experience, just that for operating in a non-US or non-radar environment.

Just Japan, Korea, and every somewhat friendly country in the God awful cesspool that is the Persian Gulf.
Mostly VFR and/or combat ops, though. Never needed the non radar stuff. Then again, in Japan you can fly VFR as high as you want.

Really dude? Give us a fucking break with that shit. I too was a COD pilot who did all that as well, even at night back in the day. You're joking right? Please tell me you are.
