Vannevar said...: When an arriving flight is in the vicinity of the airport, the crew calls their airline's Operations office on the radio, "Acme 1234 is in range".

That tells the ramp folks to start getting prepared, there'll be an airplane to park / gate / unload / clean etc in about 10 minutes.; 3/29/2011 11:17 PM

Center Puke 88 said...: Vannevar has it right, as for why to list it that way on a public board...perhaps so those in the know understand the plane is less than about 20 minutes out?; 3/30/2011 10:28 PM
