Hi, I believe that at any airport it is advisable to return taxi instructions to ATC, however at smaller airports such as Oxford, it is acceptable just to say Roger.
@@typingsquirrel2128 Oxford is a busy international airport. The pilot himself said how busy it was and commented on the number of private jets going in and out. So no, Roger is not acceptable. A full return taxi instructions would be more appropriate. That is what I teach my students from word go.
Nice content, how does it work, saw you flying a N reg aircraft to Belgium. Is your license CAA /FAA? Im a FAA pilot in the UK but haven't flown much since moving to the UK , hard to find N reg aircraft to rent in Kent.
This video as nice as it is must NOT be used for educational purposes. The pilot is exhibiting bad practices that should not be emulated by other pilots. If anything, it's a video on how not to do things. For example: 1. The pilot takes out his check list straight after landing while still taxing on the runway. This is an obvious distraction and he veers off the centre line. The only thing the pilot should be doing on the runway after a landing is making sure he keeps the aircraft on the centre line as much as possible, slow down safely and appropriately and focus on how to vacate the runway. He has no business pulling out the checklist. He doesn't even refer to it. Anything else is unnecessary and a distraction. 2. The pilot announces to the controller 'runway vacated' while still on the runway and as crossing over the white line. This is bad practice. The aircraft is vacated only when the the whole body of the aircraft has crossed the line. Only then can you announce the runway is vacated. 3. The pilot then commences to taxi to the left of the taxi centre line. At one point he is half way between the taxi line and the grass verge. This is bad practice. Taxiing an aircraft is not like driving a car in the left hand lane. The reason you taxi on the centre line is to make sure the wing tips have maximum clearance and are equally spaced out and to minimise possible collision with other parked aircraft. Even if you are not taxing near aircraft, it is healthy practice to taxi on the centre line. He then takes the check list out again which has no place and reason for during taxiing. He gets distracted by this and veers off the centre line again. 4. The pilot is given taxi clearances like: G-TZ taxi parking. The pilot responds Roger. This is bad practice as the air traffic controller can't understand from this if the pilot clearly understood the instruction or is just paying lip service. The correct response to a clearance should be a repeat of the essence of the clearance and should have been: G-TZ taxi to parking.
Nice video thanks. Is Roger a valid response when ATC gives taxi instruction actually ?

It's a CAA licence with a little FAA add on. Requires some paperwork and a test similar to the SEP renewal.
why you kiss the microfone all the time ?
