On a given day, the sun always sets earlier in Paris than in Nevada.

CTAF is not an ATC frequency. It is used by pilots when ATC is not
available.

Did you even read what he posted? What part of "all frequencies reserved for
air traffic and control of such traffic" didn't you understand.



Just as I was wrong about the sun in Paris setting later than it does in
Las
Vegas on the solstice?

Stupid people are sometimes right.

In short, you are wrong.

One day out of the entire year? You're really off it, Anthony.
Just like you were off that ATC's only purpose is to serve pilots,
which is why ATC is always supposed to call them 'sir'.

Just like you and your charts were wrong about Tuweep being
open.

Just like you are wrong when you claim that anyone and everyone
here who has real world aviation experience (whether as a pilot or
controller) is wrong because it doesn't meld with your exuberant and
blatantly outrageous assumptions of how air travel should be.

It's beyond saying that you need help, Anthony, and that these
people here can offer you that guidance, based on their experiences.
You've driven them and everyone else in this group to the point where
they don't want you here. In short,

You're pathetic, so go home.

Local or global time?

As hard as it may be for residents of the city to accept, there is
more to the world outside of Dallas.


Well, there is at least one thing NOT outside the Dallas area. The Dallas
cable TV system.



Don't you have a SlingBox?

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day

Sunset is at 9:57 PM local time today in Paris, and at 8:01 PM local time in
Las Vegas.

Paris, being much further north than Las Vegas, sees much greater seasonal
variations in the length of daylight each day.

Changing the problem again, I see.

Nobody said local time.

An intelligent person would have seen how obvious the statement was.

Local time is a political fiction.
Global (i.e., actual) time is all that matters.

Allegedly, a Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich
overheard the following:
Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."
Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in
Germany. Why must I speak English?"
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because
you lost the bloody war."

Thats rubbish
All the german pilots speak english the whole time with the tower,
even on domestic flights in germany
and they all speak perfect english
