IMPORTANT:
This video is all about education. It's designed to give aspiring pilots and air traffic controllers a taste of real-world situations through example scenarios and helpful info. But that's not all! Current pilots and controllers can also benefit by listening to real radio communications from around the globe. This helps them stay sharp and think about how they might handle similar situations in the future.
To create these videos, I keep my ear to the ground on major aviation news and events. I check the dates and time zones to see if I can find recordings of the radio conversations. Then, I become a bit of a broken record myself, listening to them repeatedly to create subtitles and identify key moments. Finally, I whip up some animations (or grab them from ADS-B websites) and pull it all together into a neat package.

So fortunate that passenger was able to land aircraft. Sincere condolences to Prof. Izatt’s family & friends.

Kudos to the passenger 👏🏼
Sending prayers 🙏🏼

RIP Prof. So sad. Good comms & landing.

Literally could have been about anything. Waste of time making this a comms video since anyrhing of relevance was cut and what remained was mostly procedure.

[@gordyrother1836]

Another sudden death in the cockpit. Hmm

[@tvflight7858]

Does anyone know what happened to the pilot? How does someone just suddenly die without any symptoms? Listening to the radio communications his voice was very normal and calm. R.I.P. :(

Yes...isn't that funny how that happens quite a bit lately, yet you never hear why....

@@tvflight7858 It is. It really is. If you had anything involving mRNA, you could be prone...most of us did, regretfully.

Oh for God’s sake. Have you ever heard of an aneurysm? A heart attack? A stroke? And how do you know Professor Izatt wasn’t experiencing any symptoms that he did not relay? Good grief, you people can smell a conspiracy at a little child’s lemonade stand.

I saw another channel on youtube that added the full, additional audio of the pilot giving more specifics. As well as emergency services and they discussed a cardiac arrest.
