      It seems daunting if you don't understand. Some people panic on radio. But honestly once you go into training it's second nature. And like of fitness says you don't have to pay attention to anyone else's direction. Just yours and scan for other traffic and any any directions to look for specific aircraft in vicinity.

    New subscriber; not a pilot. I have watched several of your videos, but this is my first comment. I find your videos interesting, informative, and fascinating. I have learned about the process of flying; from pre-flight, to controllers, to navigating into and out of airports. You fly with a precision, an exactness, a discipline that I do not see on other RUclips channels. This combined with a pleasant presentation style make it a pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing.

They design and build mobile/ temporary medical imaging suites for hospitals/etc. He uses the jet to fly directly to customer sites instead of relying on the airlines. If you think about it, it's pretty smart. As well, you can bury the operating expenses into the price of the projects. The per-mile cost to fly your own jet vs an airline, it becomes a major cost savings once you fly more than one person. It all hinges on not having a pilot on staff. In this case, the business owner is the pilot and he is one of the passengers. Pretty smart if you asked me.
