Jason, fantastic advise on the "no delay" comment. On my fixed wing add-on check ride I got a no delay as I was stopping at the hold short line, I turned onto the runway, hit the throttle and almost killed the engine because I hadn't gone full rich yet. The DPE told me "never let them rush you or get in your head", it was a great lesson learned, one I'll never forget. Better to wait and get your checks done than rush and make a stupid mistake (especially with a DPE in the plane). No, he didn't bust me for it but I sure felt dumb.
Jason, I noticed when you picked up your Departure Frequency and Squawk code, you kept rolling. And you did great by the way.... Myself, I will stop where I am at and copy before resuming taxi so as not to be distracted and take my eyes from being outside the airplane. Another great video as always!
I will also review the taxi diagram before making the call up and like pre-filling CRAFT on IFR clearance, I will mentally build a picture of how they may route me to the runway.
Finally, have you tried the new feature in Foreflight that can build the taxi route for you? It still is part of their Labs I think and not a lot of airports are available to use with it - yet. I have found some of the busier more complex airports are available.

18 for 18, loving these videos! Student pilot here struggling with comms flying in class C, this really helped me.
Roger that
Jason, great to see you write down taxi instructions. I sometimes have trouble remembering long taxi instructions.
Eyes are everywhere EXCEPT OUTSIDE THE PLANE WHEN TAXIING ACROSS RUNWAYS!!!
I am lucky that I fly in Southern California where I get constant practice in radio communications and ATC wants everyone flying on Fight Following. 18 for 18 and enjoying it. Thank you!
Agreed, although I wish busy places like Camarillo would allow for requesting flight following on the ground.
@@Micslmn Yep, made almost to Burbank one day before I was finally able to get flight following back to Fullerton, my home airport. 😁

I love 3:00 how he knows he should pause talking for this video because he’s about to receive instructions to write down about his squawk instructions all while driving a plane with his feet. Not only is he perfectly capable of this, ground control knows he is because he just told him to do it.
This is reason #87 why I know I should be a pilot.
18 for 18. As I'm learning at a Pilot controlled airport, the ATC communications are something I want/need to do much more of. I've flown in and out of HKY several times and both your videos and using the Live ATC app have helped me with knowing what to expect and practicing read backs. Great video as always.
17 for 17. It's been years since I flew (2001 in fact) and watching your 31 days safer pilot challenge has shown me how much I have forgotten and so many things have changed. - thanks!
Pure technology
18 (plus some) in the box! Thx so much!

Great seeing you tooling around my home airport. Sorry I missed the Rex Air open house. I heard it was well attended and very well received.
Very vibrant colour images of the Florida coastline: great cameras.
Hello from Sydney Australia.

18/18...on my way!
Good
I noticed that when you were given the flight following information, you continued to taxi while putting in the code. I was always taught to either stop taxi and deal with the clearance or ask ground to hold it until you reach the run up areas. Distracted taxiing can be a problem for new or seasoned pilots. Great videos.
18 for 18 Thank you for the great instructions. Most Appreciated
18 for 18 loving the challenge so far. Ha a ? How safe is it to take your eyes of taxi way to start writing on your tablet.
If was the sole pilot onboard I would have stopped. The one time I tried that (jotting down notes for flight following) I caught myself veering off the taxiway centerline and realized how unsafe I was being.
I use the iPad mini 6's pencil feature, when the screen is off if you tap the screen it brings up scratchpad mode, or if you use the pencil against left/right bottom side of the screen it'll bring up the scratchpad. Good for quick notes when flying. I'm doing a lot of dead reckoning flying at the moment in my training so I don't always have my EFB open.
Glenn, is this feature unique to the mini 6? I have the 5.
@@wbleonard yeah. Anything that supports the apple pencil 2. The mini 5 is pencil 1
Great content!! Thank you for doing these and I am 18 for 18!!
Keep it up! Thanks for watching!
18-4-18👍
Yes indeed. I use this often. Great tool!
Great lesson Jason thx.
18 for 18. Loving the SPC and the GSA. Started Lesson 9 - Airspace this morning. Taking lots of notes!
Keep it up! Thanks for watching!
18/18 ....I struggle with communicating with a tower and really need to practice more of that. Great video!!!!
Hey Jason, I am 18 for 18! 😊
Enjoying the series! 18 for 18.
Hey Jason, I'm 18 for 18. Great videos.
Good video but copying info while taxing plus alone in the airplane. My instructor said no to that. We asked them to standby and got all info while holding short.
18/18. My CFI was all over me for taxiing while distracted with squawk code entries - better to stop taxi or wait until runup area for entry. Obviously I lack Jason's skill and experience.
18/18 headed to 31/31. Great video.
Love it Jason - Great job !!!
Hello team 😁 so awesome 😎😎😎😎😎
17/17 tracking.
18/18! Loving the series!
18 4 18 hello Jason, the more I watch your videos on flight following the less I become intimidated to give it a try……. I presently fly out of CYQG Windsor and I’ve always been intimidated to talk to Detroit for flight following ; just not knowing what to expect and how to answer back ?. With today’s video and some ground preparation I can now be prepared to have a hopefully smooth follow through. Many thanks to you and your team for the informative videos and dialogue
I fly Out of Pontiac KPTK. Don’t Be Intimidated with Detroit ATC. They are Very Helpful if You Don’t Understand Instructions. I’m a VFR Pilot and I talk to them All the Time. Good Luck.
@@Pilot.Lindsay Thanks for the positive vibes. …
Blue skies and tail winds✈️
Great job!
I love this Mike!
I didn’t hear Ground say, “ Read back correct” on your taxi instruction? I’ve always heard them say that in response to the pilots read back at KTOA.
"read-back correct" is usually for the clearance. They will tell you if you get the taxi clearance wrong but they won't tell you if you got the tax experience right
18/18 Loving the series
I rarely NOT request flight following, and when I don’t I have that feeling that I’m forgetting something
Thanks for watching!
@@MzeroAFlightTraining thanks for the videos, I’ve been following this channel over 8 years now…. Through my entire flying school…. Thanks again, great content!
Stay by 5

I think that the reason WHY some towers can give flight following has to do with whether or not the tower is considered an "IFR Tower" under the rules. There is a misconception that when a tower has the light on or if it has ILS approaches or gives clearances, that it is an IFR tower, but this is NOT the case. A tower must be an IFR tower to be able to issue squawk codes and give radar vectors.
If you notice, most towers don't do this and EVEN if they have radar vectors, will not be able to issue their own squawk codes and will not be able to give radar vectors.
Hey Ron...31yr ATC vet here, and soon to be private pilot. It all comes down to equipment capabilities and overlying airspace, and not whether the tower is what we call a "Limited Radar" tower, such as the primary airports in Class B & C. Many strictly VFR towers have equipment which is integrated into the NAS capable of issuing a beacon code for flight following. Typically, a radar approach control and not a Center must overlay the class D for the tower to have that equipment.
@@nunziodimillo amazing explanation. Thank you! Now it make sense why there isn't a particular known rule for it.
Yessir
I see that you crossed 14 because he previously cleared you. One of my exam questions was exactly that and the answer was you are supposed to hold short of runway 14 and let him clear you across again. Is that standard? I missed that question. I'm 18/18
I would think that's not the right answer I'll think that crossing is maybe the question said "if you're unsure when you get there"?
@@jbreezy101 I didn't think so either That's why I got it wrong.
@@walteroduk If you've been cleared to cross, you're cleared to cross. They don't need to restate it unless you are unsure and question it. Did you miss that on your oral or written exam? If it was your oral, the DPE is wrong. BTW, Im retired ATC
@@nunziodimillo written. I was sure I was right. That answer is wrong.
@@walteroduk Yep, you were right.👍
18/18
great video 18/18
Hey. love the videos. I was wondering is there another link for the trail, the link on this video isn't working I would love to check it out. I'm currently in a online ground school right now and I don't feel like I'm learning much. but I always learn so much just on your free RUclips videos.
Our Delta has radar put they will still say no and to contact center after you are out of Delta
Ok
Thank you for a free training ❤️ and l like your video camera , what kind is it?
I found it interesting that you don't have your iPad on a kneeboard, but just loose between your legs I guess. I'll have to give that a try.
I always thought that if you were told to cross a runway you still had to hold short and be cleared at the runway. Is this not true? What is the difference in terminology?
If you've been cleared to cross, you're cleared to cross. They don't need to restate it unless you are unsure and question it.
Do you mind sharing what ipad you use?
Jason, How do I know what frequency to listen to when I am in between airports? Just half way switch from one to the other?
18 for 18
I was just curious, you switched from ground to tower without being told. Do you usually do that or should wait to be told to switched? Or is this just a class delta thing?
At many class bravo airports even some class deltas and Charlies there are signs out there telling you to monitor or switch the tower when you're ready or in sequence. The airport directory/ procedures or some verbal instructions from clearance or ground advising them that you're ready for the next step (taxi or run-up complete/ departure respectively) can alter those plans. A good rule of thumb is to monitor the previous frequency until your actually speaking to the new frequency
18/18 - Jason I noticed you switched to tower freq before your run-up. My instrument instructor criticized me for that once and said never switch to Tower until I'm holding short and ready for takeoff. Thoughts?
I didn't know they made Cessnas in Right Hand Drive.
I’m 7 for 18
Take care
I thought it was a matter of the Ground Controller calling Departure Controller on a landline and asking if they can do flight following.
For taxi I'd have my diagram out and wrote down those as well as draw it out on tablet.
18 for 18!
Keep it up! Thanks for watching!
18:18 never did a flight following request on the ground.

ATC will beg you to get on flight following in San Diego lol
Just curious as a non pilot why the run-up is done when holding short of the runway just before take-off, as opposed to when the plane is started up on the ramp?
Some airports have restrictions on where you can do it, due to propwash.
Additionally, it's considered more hazardous to do it on the ramp, near other aircraft, or people nearby. Not only that, ensuring the aircraft is ready for flight just moments until takeoff instead of before taxiing for several minutes makes much more sense.
Sure that makes sense. But what about the following scenario. What if there is an issue with the aircraft that shows up during the run-up. You have now blocked access to the runway and you hold up and delay others behind you. Seems like there should be "turn out lanes" or "open safe spaces", for lack of another expression, where you can do a run-up before holding short? I just find it interesting that's all.
@@Eltoca21 if they don't have a run-up area next to the runway HTC may ask you if you need to run up and I'll send you to a place to run up on so that way they have their options open if they run up goes bad
First?
Yup! Howdy MzeroA! I am 0/18 because I don't have the funds to fill up my aircraft. Running for office takes a lot of money it turns out!
