Things that have gotten me in trouble is not controlling the tempo and letting ATC rush me. When that happens, bad things can happen. A few things I've started to do are: 1. Sit with my hands in my lap while I'm getting the clearance...if I'm not moving, of course. 2. When my FO repeats the clearance back to ATC, after he is done, I read back the clearance to him. 3. Slow waaaaayyyyy down Keep up the good work! Jeff Good points Pat! Things that have gotten me in trouble is not controlling the tempo and letting ATC rush me.
