| I'm a flight instructor, and was teaching a brand new student how to taxi the airplane. On initial call-up, I said, "Ground, Nxxx with ATIS, ready to taxi to active, will be doing taxi practice." The controller suggested we taxi all the way down to the inactive area, but that was more than we wanted, so I said, "No thanks, we're ready to taxi to the active ... I just wanted to warn you that we may be slow and crooked." ATC's comeback: "Well, why don't you just let the student taxi?" |
