Jet Lag
Knot on Call
Final Approach
Altitude Adjustment
Knot Flyin’
Crash Pad
Flying’ Low
Pilot Lounge
First Class
Flight Risk
Float Plane
Too Low Terrain
Scud Runner

Winging it

Something ominous about "Final Approach" for those among us of a certain age.
I nearly called mine "Locum Ocean" but - it's better reserved for a physician.
Aeronautic? Aeronautical?

1. Final Approach
2. Ground Effect
3. Jetstream
4. Tailwind
5. Crosswind Cruiser
6. Runway Runner
7. Wingtip
8. Airborne Escape
9. Cockpit Cruiser
10. Altitude Adjustment
11. Lift Off
12. Skipper’s Flight
13. The Hangar Bay
14. Nautical Glide
15. Fly Bridge





Let me know if you’d like more ideas or specific variations!

Are you trying to communicate to the wider boating community that you are a pilot? Or are you trying to use a name that will be be understood by other pilots, but not necessarily other boaters?

We almost went with Upgrade but went another route.

Command Sea (or C, autopilot joke)
Fur Low (we have dog hair)
Premium (if you’re alaska)
Green Slip (Delta)
Turning Two (Boeing)
Line up and weight
Day turn
Redeye
Shortback
Airspeed low, feet.

None of them are perfect but they might send you down a different path. I really liked command sea but it wasn’t quite obvious enough for the non aviator and would look pretty bad if we bunched it up on the rocks. Good luck and let us know what you land on!

Personally l like Altitude Adjustment. It speaks to the past in the air and current and future at sea level while being a play on Attitude Adjustment, which is also kinda fun.

 

[William Sanborn]

Lots of good suggestions, but what ever you choose make sure it can be easily understood on the radio .
