The overhead can be a wonderful tool to get traffic into the pattern. But, if ATC doesn’t understand the request, it can be a safety hazard.
Yep. Should’ve never approved that unrestricted altitude nonsense with EJA right in front of him. Maybe it’s buried in comms but I never heard a traffic call on EJA either.Sounds like a normal day at work for me. The difference between Navy/Marine and Air Force pilots is notable. The controller should have given pattern altitude and direction of turns on the initial transmission but he didn’t. That was the “misunderstanding”.

Similar to the NASA report. More about safety reporting and solutions.What's that ASAP thing Exec Jet was talkin about?
