“What if it’s on the back? Is that bad?”

Was that a Bugatti ad? That’s such a weird ass ad

She aint even saying Bugatti right 💀 can she stop

You can tell the Italian aircraft. They have hair under the wings.

We greatly appreciate controllers like this. I heard Ny approach tell pilot to throw the book out the window 🤣. It was madness on the radio but instead for getting stressed he lighted the mood.

Got me laughing.

I still don't get it. Class E is "controlled" but you neither have to get permission to enter nor do you maintain 2 way coms so I don't know what is exactly "controlled"

So yer laughing at this guy and ridiculing him, but it was below you, to just ASK him whether he was flying a plane or a helicopter? Who is really the intentional idiot here? I was actually laughing with you, up to the point where you didn't ask him the most obvious question after the spinny thing. Also, was all of this because english is not his first language, and he was obviously super stressed?

This conversation reminds me of my early days of using Linux. Over 20 years ago, if I posted a question on the Debian forum as a new user, what I got was ridicule: "You're a noob. Come back when you've had 10 years of experience and then you may be worthy to kiss my ring and ask me a question." If the pilot doesn't understand you, then don't make fun of him or her. Just clarify your question. You could simply have asked, "Are you a fixed wing aircraft or a helicopter?" Would that have been so hard? But no. In your exalted position, you chose a condescending, snarky, sarcastically dumbed-down answer that ridiculed the pilot. Congratulations. Instead of being professional you flexed and engaged in abuse. Was the pilot inexperienced? Yes. But instead of advancing the interests of professionalism and flight safety you answered in a way that might cause an inexperienced pilot to become confused or flustered. The inexperienced pilot should have known better, but you as an experienced professional should surely have known better than to have fun at the possible expense to his safety and to the detriment of your own professionalism.

Love the conversation format for PPL info. 👍🏻

What if you’re flying a gyrocopter?

Conversation format. Very good 👍🏻👍🏻

Nice

2:50 I heard "Oh that's okay, it's going to be Inspector Gadget" 😂

He may have been having a mini stroke...

A lot of my hours are in experimentals I’ve owned and I’d stay out of the system as much as possible but there are times you just have to joint the party to get in or out of a controlled airport or such. Always lead with “experimental November bla bla bla” and lord, at times I’ve had to follow up with V speeds and such as the controller had never heard of Fly Baby or a RANS S-14.

"Sir, the uh, the spinny thing... is that on top of your aircraft, or in front of your aircraft" MV-22 "Yes"

A conversational pod about airspace is much better to digest than reading the pilots handbook

Nice

What's with those rinky-dink microphones and booms? I can still see the participants; mostly anyway. Thankfully the obligatory giant headphones are missing. Without them the microphones also don't work so I'm not sure how you managed to get audio. (/snark)

Has anyone ever heard the pilot who always says "Have a dandy!"

Keeping flying fun

Sky Hawk=Shit-Head😂

"Sir, the spinny thing is four spinny things and they're in barrels on the side of the plane".

Nearrrammmm or Wup wup wup ?

Did that guy have a medical episode?

so did you ever find out what kind of aircraft it was?

Are you flying a helicopter, an airplane, or a hot air balloon?... "I'm not sure what you're asking." Ok... you are clear for space shuttle status.

Funny, but does anyone else find those big microphone holders obnoxious?

would you consider doing sport pilot training?

Great video - very helpful! This is just what I needed to see as I'm prepping for my checkride later this week.

You put it into your logbook to identify the aircraft you flew, such as C172, C700, or PA-38. Most controllers will let you use a common name as well, but more specific is how you log it. It's the same you'd put into a flight plan, and it is what shows up on a controller strip.

Great video. Peyton is the best

Lafayette ATC: Has fun. JFK ATC: NNNNNNNGGGGGNNNNnnnnnnnnnggggghhhhhhh

Well done! Glad to hear management was cool too. We can be safe, serious, and still have a good time too. After all: aviation is thrilling! ✌🏼

As a paraglider who has hooked into a strong tail-wind, it could have been me! 😂 “Tail number? Spinny thingy? What are you talking about?!”

My aircraft type is SSCP. You'll have to look it up.

I know a guy

I did my initial flight training based out of Baton Rouge. I always had good experiences with the controllers down there. As long as its not super busy, they're always laid back and willing to joke a little with you, in my experience anyway. Thanks for sharing!!

Another stupid video with big wanky microphones stuck in their faces where the mics are more important that the people or the subject...

So why not just ask if it's a helicopter of fixed wing? But no, you'd rather drag it out making a big deal out of it.

I landed at a big airport in a tommahawk and the tower controller told us to exit at a taxiway and please expidite. My gf said what does that mean. As we were taxiing off i pointed out the b747 up our arse

Did you give her your number to call

As a controller in St. Thomas, VI in 1972 my fellow controller had to take a potty break so I was alone when a scheduled Pan Am 727 short from NYC, called inbound. Our single runway then was only 4680 feet with an overrun that had a circle pad so aircraft using it could taxie out of it. As a detail person I had asked the AA airline chief pilot, who visited tower a few months earlier, how much runway they needed for 727 short. He said 3,330' maximum . Our runway was to short for the longer 727. Anyway it was a normal December windy day. Wind from the north coming over the island causing moderate turbulence on final. The aircrews flying into STT were senior crews and required a special checkride to fly the route as we were short of the necessay 5,000` required runway length and a missed approach was between two hills at the end of the runway. The crew flew a visual approach and asked to make a low pass down the runway to get the feel and said if it was to sporty they would go to St.Croix and comeback later. As I normally did on very turbulent days, I gave wind speed and direction to the pilots all the way down the final, telling them not to respond. They made the lowpass and asked for a visual to land which was righthand pattern over the water. They turned about a 5 mile final and as before I gave them wind info all the way down. Approach looked good and normal, but rough. Can't imagine how passengers felt. As aircraft crossed from over water to over runway it suddenly shot up about 10 - 15 feet . The pilot began rocking wings right to left in an attempt to lose more lift, as they did normally, but the aircraft would not settle down. In my head I am calculating how much runway he gas left and the 3,330 number was etched in my head. I was expecting a go a around but it did not happen. Pilot continued to rock wings as it passed that 3330 number and was approaching the mid field when he pulled all power back and the bird came down hard on all 3 wheels went into reverse and breaked hard as it continued into the overrun to a stop. I sent pilot to ground frequenncy for taxi instructions. Now I was still alone so I moved to ground position. Aircraft was still sitting in overrun and had not called for taxi instruction. I waited for about 20 seconds and then transmitted to him," Welcome aboard the USS Harry S. Truman", followed by taxi instructions. From the silence erruped a hearty laughs from the crew. A short time later the Captain called me on landline. He said when they made the low approach they saw 2 other 727's parked at the terminal so he figured they made it so he should be able too. I said to the Captain that both of those birds had arrived the night before. Silence.

Some day, if you hone your humor skills, you too may be in the same league as Kennedy Steve!

are you a Boeing 747 or bell helicopter or what?

I remember as a student pilot in my aircraft radio operators training manual there was an instruction to NEVER REPLY to a radio call with "WHO DAT?" LMAO then and still do at that admonition. Regards from South Africa

FwK : "... im recording for youtube ... what is your name ..." [dead air] Controller : "waaaaaat was thaaaat ?" I nearly spit a mouthful of food on my monitor. I'm still laughing 5 minutes later. LOL

I love the huge Concorde yoke linking you two guys together!

FIRST COMMENT! put Greg on the Tube!
