I am the training office for the Volunteer Fire Dept. that I belong to and I am putting together a training session on communications, the effects of stress on performance and CRM (Crew Resource Management in the fire service, as opposed to Cockpit RM).
I am going to be using the example of Flight 1549 for some of the presentation and while researching the transcript for that incident there is a point where the TRACON controller says the following:
3:29:05 L116 Teterboro, Empire– actually LaGuardia Departure got an emergency inbound.
In this transmission the controller mispeaks by saying "Empire", and then immediately corrects himself.
I can't seem to find a reference to any kind of airport or flight control center in the New York area that goes by the name "Empire".
More for my own curiosity that anything else, can anybody tell me what the "Empire" reference might mean?
Thx.
