I never understood this, even when I first started training it was something that annoyed me about most other pilots. Brains overloaded, lack of confidence.
You'll see it a lot even in experienced pilots. Mostly stems from their brains having already moved on from the radio call and thinking about what is coming next trying to stay ahead of the airplane. Your brain works a lot faster than you can talk. Certainly takes some self reminding to keep it at a reasonable pace!
Obviously pilots know what they are going to do, but obviously the key is letting others know what you are going to do - our voice communication is like the indicators in our car - letting other know we are "turning left" - Love you videos by the way - really helped me with my pilot training!!
It wasn't even that bad; I have definitely heard worse. I agree, though - sometimes it feels like they are trying to win a fast-talking competition or something.
+Jesper Frøtlund Had him doing a short field takeoff, simulating a much shorter runway, hence the early gear retract. In most light GA airplanes I would recommend leaving gear down until 100-200' (or whenever you're out of useable runway). However depending on who does the checkride, some examiners demand it done exactly as it is written in the book (POH) and retract the gear based on the text of the "normal procedure", however it happens to be described
shouldn't he raise the Dead first instead of pitching for BlueLine? remember that vmc is a strong function of the bank angle. at the incorrect bank angle the vmc could well be 100kts instead of 82!
This he’s confused on his landing light. the far left is the landing and it was never on. He turned off his “landing light” and it was actually the taxi light. When prompted, he finally turned on the landing light.
0:04 Why do pilots insist on fast mumbling when making a radio call? Clear, concise communication so that others can understand what you are saying.

PIC audio is horrible. This is not a recording problem but mic placement. Do pilots ever listen to themselvs?
"Gear up, right away" ??? Not if you still have usable runway below (in case of engine fail(s) just after Vr) - or ??

Ok - that makes sense and I agree :)
Keep up the good work and keep the vids coming...

It was his distraction to cut the engine. (simulated)
