Thanks for the ATC Live Feed link.
This is one of those situations we talk about in training when you tell the ATC Controller to kindly stop talking, stop distracting me, and listen to my calls without stepping on me.
The controller wants him to copy a phone number during that arrival to the farmer's field? Uh, no.
At that point, I'd have turned my radio off.
Amen! I recently had an emergency and ATC said “just let us know what you want”. They also said if you can’t pass us the appropriate numbers don’t sweat it, just get back to us when you can. I think they literally used plain language just like that.Bingo. Pilots generally know what info the controller needs...and most of it can be cleared up more accurately with a phone call to the duty office after the plane is done crashing. The e-word came out followed by a pretty serious explanation. Get everyone else out of the way, shut down everyone else on freq, and LISTEN TO ASSIST.
Stop pestering people who might be on fire, missing flight control surfaces, and shutting down motors (at the same time).
Curious, what jurisdiction does the FAA have over a military mishap, in an what I'm assuming was, in an active MOA?The 'please copy down this phone number, the FAA will probably want to speak to you' piece was pretty amazing...

I feel like every time that controller opened his mouth, I saw an "SA LOW" light flashing in the background. This is the part when you STFU and let the emergency aircrew drive the show, Einstein . . .The 'please copy down this phone number, the FAA will probably want to speak to you' piece was pretty amazing...
And the FAA doesn't investigate civ mishaps anyway; they support the NTSB.They don't. The military investigates their own mishaps.
The FAA can not take certificate action since these guys are not operating on a civ pilot certificate.
