Narrative

APCHING NASSAN; I RECEIVED A CLRNC TO 170 DEGS AND 4000 FT. WE COMPLIED. I MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE FLT ATTENDANTS AND PAX ABOUT OUR ARR TIME (TIME TO PREPARE CABIN FOR LNDG). UPON RETURNING TO FREQ; APCH GAVE US A HDG TO 140 DEGS AND DSND TO 2000 FT. WE COMPLIED. HE THEN INFORMED US WE HAD NOT FOLLOWED PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS AND THAT HE HAD TO DEVIATE ANOTHER ACFT BECAUSE WE ENTERED HIS 'SPACE.' THE FO NEVER HEARD (NOR DID I) ANY PREVIOUS CLRNC. WE DID NOTICE ON TCASII ANOTHER ACFT 3-4 MI. IN FOREIGN AIRSPACE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENT DIALECTS. RESPONSE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR BOTH 'SIDES' TO DO. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR FLIES THE B-737-300 AND -400 FOR A MAJOR UNITED STATES ACR ON DOMESTIC AND INTL RTES. HE WAS OFF FREQ MAKING A PA. THE FO HEARD NO HDG CHANGE AND CERTAINLY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A CHANGE. THE RPTR WAS NOT AT ALL RECEPTIVE TO THE NOTION OF LISTENING TO ATC WHILE MAKING A PA. THIS PROC WORKED WELL FOR THIS VENERABLE ANALYST WHO WAS WORLD RENOWNED FOR THE INANITY OF HIS PA'S.
