Sorry for anyone on approach at PIA a few mins ago. I had to close unexpectedly to fight a fire in my neighbors yard!

It is not an acceptable excuse until the fire touches your skin.

Thatâs why they have the fire department. You earned 1 demerit.

Weirdest reason to quit controlling Iâve ever heardâŚ

Not really. I am a Voluntary Firefighter and I hat to Cancell controlling abrupt because I get an Emergency in.

As long as no one was hurt (in the virtual skies or in your neighbors yard), itâs good.

This is the only time in 95000 operations that I had to close abruptly.

Demerit for preventing casulties in reallife? Riddicolous.
The traffic at KPIA was low and there was only me, 2 other planes and a ghosted Virgin A346 Pilot in hurry.
P.S: send me the message âAvoid sending duplicate messagesâ for requesting another runway for approach and land is not nice and that after 7 minutes from the last message.
Yours sincerly,

what is a demerit
He was joking, not being serious - and if you have a problem with an ATC controller, donât hesitate to contact them via PM.
I think Joe was joking anyway⌠đ

after 7 minutes from the last message.
What do you mean by this?
U see if most other people said that stuff would have went down đ. Good job @GHamsz for saving lives.
Yes thatâs rightđ hope your neighbours are alright though mate
I diverted my A380 to KPIA from KORD, first i requested an approach on KPIA, later i took a look on the diagram to find a parking, important for my A380 due to the wingspan. So I decided to park in front of the General Aviation Hangar, to save time i wanted to take the shortest way to taxi to the hangar, and the taxiway to leave RW31 was to small for the wheels of the A380,
So 7 minutes later i decided to request the unused RW22, and GHamsz responded to me with the message âavoid sending duplicate messagesâ, see in the picture
