Ha. This video was made on my birthday! Just wanna say you are a down to earth, HUMBLE teacher looking to help others be more proficient pilots. Hard find indeed.
Being a long time ham radio operator helped me immensely when i took up flight training. Not just with mic shyness, but also because of technical familiarity with radio equipment, antennas and so on. I didn't struggle as much as others with ATC, though it was challenging at times, especially in busy airports. Great video, thanks for sharing. 73 de 9A5ELO
thanks for simplifying this. I went a couple of years ago for an introductory flight course in Connecticut and the instructor didn't explain anything to me. He went on to fly and not explain a single thing unless I asked then gave me control a little bit to turn the piper to the left with ailerons and that was that. lol It is indeed intimidating at first but you explained it so well. The plane I few in was a piper. I think Cessna is probably better for learning. Thank you.
This is an extremely clear and practical video. I am a new student pilot and I have watched dozens of Radio Communications videos and this is by far the best. great Job!!
@Brady, hands down the best video on this topic. Congratulations man, I really loved your video. I hope you'll keep doing this type of videos, they are truly amazing. All the best!
Perfect instructions for new students, you worked a lot on it. I haven’t flown from North East Rgnl since 2015, you just made my day One of the best airfields in Florida with , magnificent weather and outstanding ATC officers ❤️
Thank you for this very helpful video! Not many people talk about communications although it is one of the hardest parts in flying an aircraft. You just got a sub, keep up the great work!
Great To have you as a instructor and how learn to fly... Actually learning on Flight simulator with your videos. Thanks a lot and keeping doing it; I am sure you going to get your IFR soon ;)
Great video brother! Thanks so much for the info and taking the time out to do it. It is obvious you enjoy it, I’m happy you’ve got your own project to help continue that and learn from now. Stay safe and keep having fun with it! I can’t wait to see your future successes.
It’s a great pleasure 2 see yours GA flights. It’s the true Wild aviation and u are very compromising 2 do a complete flight with the right procedures. I work in comercial aviation and there’s no fun anymore. So thank u 4 for the real fun flights
Love your videos! Especially your first trip to Ireland. We were set to go end of March until covid19. Postponed for October 2020 Ireland / Scotland. Love your videos ❤️
I appreciate it Sherry! Yes, I can't imagine how many trips have been canceled or postponed. As long as you can still go soon that's all that matters! I have some exciting trips coming up as well and look forward to sharing more with you. We were supposed to go to Italy in July, but moved that to 2021. I'll probably be headed to some places within the US before then, like Glacier National Park and the PNW. Let me know if you have any questions about Ireland.
Brady Bigalke the music with your video of Ireland was so magical. I watch it and listen to it while I paint in my painting studio. It takes me away. Thank you for sharing your trips ❤️🎨😊
Another great video Brady! I love the camera on the wing this go around.. You cleared up few of radio procedures I didn't know even know even though I supply the audio from KTLH to LiveATC.Net and have listened for years. When pilots explain, it makes more sense!.
Dude txs for the video, that controller talked fast and kinda mumbled the last instruction of crossing the approach end of 6 to the ramp. Tx God you had CC on this video otherwise I would be lost! I definitely learned something new today. Thank you!
Great video Brady! Love to have the opportunity to fly with you one day. You should really teach as you explain it very calm and clearly. I’m currently taking my private and scared to take the written or the FAA Check ride. Thanks for the reassurance about communication while flying.
Thanks Jay. Anything can happen. Maybe we'll get to fly together one day, keep in touch. Everyone fears those tests - just keep preparing for them. You'll be fine.
Just weather. This kind of flight doesn't really require any planning since I wasn't traveling to another airport. Plus, it's my home airport where I got my license so I am very familiar with it. But normally your preparation would be studying sectionals, having your airport diagrams printed, and following the acronym NWKRAFT. NWKRAFT stands for Notams, Weather, Known ATC Delays, Runway Lengths, Alternatives (for diverting to other airports if needed), Fuel Requirements, and Takeoff and Landing Distances. You can reference this is the FAR AIM at 14 CFR 91.103 - required pre-flight preparation.
The most difficult part is trying to understand what they are saying, as I sometimes don't understand some words in their sentence. How do I ask to repeat, and also how to better understand in the muffled radio static?
When you where holding short of rwy 31 shouldn't have you said "ready for departure" instead of "ready for take-off"? Because I think that the term " take off" is only said after the clearance to avoid any confusion
Agree. Only say "take off" after clearance for take off from ATC. We are using CASR anyway and since you're flying an "N" plane I strongly guess you are FAR pilot , maybe there are some differences.
@@Tobra1277 hi there all from the UK. That was a great Video really enjoyed it . In the UK we have to not mention the word “Take Off” unless we had been cleared onto the runway to actually take off . I would have had to say for example “ Golf Lima Foxtrot Sierra Hotel holding at Alpha one ready for Departure “ So I agree with you . This guy should go to be an instructor . Real cool and and would be good at instructing . Usually its full call signs for clearance and departure info . I love the radio work (I have my ham radio license as G4DIY so I did find the radio atc stuff enjoyable ) Really great job with the video , well done .cheers from Liverpool UK
I am an student pilot and I find your videos very intresting and informative. Your audio is very clear...What do you use for audio recording? Thank you for helping us .
Lucas Delgado Yes. Don't switch to Ground until cleared to do so. If they haven't contacted you yet, just clear the runway and hold short of the taxiway until they contact you. If they still haven't contacted you after a bit, and no one else is talking, then you can say your call sign and say you're clear of the runway and are switching to ground then wait for their response.
@@BradySkye thank you for your response, as a student pilot in an uncontrolled field and in a country where we don't use English for comms it's nice to learn this things, I'm looking forward to get my ICAO English Calification in the near future
I heard that it's now forbidden to say "ready for 'take off' " but we have to say "ready for departure" bcs of the accident of Tenerife with 2 b747 It seem to be a detail but we don't have to pronounce the word "take off" before the clearance. I think it's important🤷
I’m hoping to get my PPL when I become 15 and the flight school I’m going to. says on a minimum requirements it will cost around £9,000 I would love to know if this a decent price for a PPL and I would love to know that if I did have the money .would it be better to buy or rent.And aswell as that I want to buy a cirrus but I don’t think I could pay for it and maintain it if I follow my wish to get a carrier in aviation. But I am going to buy I would buy a 150 or piper
If you were going to buy, a 150 / 152 is definitely the way to go, just make sure you love flying first. It is cheaper in the US for license versus Europe. Many Europeans come here to train because of that. In the US it's typically around $7,000 right now for a PPL.
Also, that said, there are many costs that come with owning an airplane like the hangar fee, insurance, and maintenance. If you have enough money to buy, then awesome! But I always recommend having another person to partner with to split costs. It may be better to just pay the school to rent for your training for now.
I'm new to the aviation world (in a flight simulator though) and one thing I don't get is, how high do you need to fly and where exactly? Or does that not matter? You flew out of the airspace at a little less than 1000 feet, but it seemed like you kind of flew where ever you wanted. How does that work?
D-Tunez Great question. There are a number of factors involved for altitude. Look up VFR versus IFR and airspace's. Once you are completely out of an airspace you are free to be at any height so long as its 1000 feet above the nearest ground object, 500 feet above water, 500 feet away from people, and you are safe from clouds (there are guidelines for clouds as well). I can't write everything out in this comment because it would take an hour lol. Pattern altitude is generally 1000 feet above an airport for general aircraft unless stated otherwise. When traveling point A to B on a VFR flight: § 91.159 - VFR cruising altitude or flight level. Except while holding in a holding pattern of 2 minutes or less, or while turning, each person operating an aircraft under VFR in level cruising flight more than 3,000 feet above the surface shall maintain the appropriate altitude or flight level prescribed below, unless otherwise authorized by >ATC: (a) When operating below 18,000 feet MSL and- (1) On a magnetic course of zero degrees through 179 degrees, any odd thousand foot MSL altitude 500 feet (such as 3,500, 5,500, or 7,500); or (2) On a magnetic course of 180 degrees through 359 degrees, any even thousand foot MSL altitude 500 feet (such as 4,500, 6,500, or 8,500 And once you are on your own, it is your responsibility to look out for other traffic. Accidents happen in clear weather conditions because that's when people get careless about looking out for other traffic. If you just look out the windows you will likely see other airplanes if they're headed toward you well in advance to avoid them.
@@BradySkye so if I understand correctly, you can fly as high as you want (but underneath the clouds and below 18.000 feet MSL), if you follow the rules of even and odd thousand (+500) feet depending on your heading. As for directions, it doesn't matter where you fly, as long as you don't fly in controlled airspace, right? So if I want to fly from one airport to the other, and I know what VOR's to fly to etc., it doesnt matter what detours I make? I can just fly whereever I want to? If I got it wrong, can you explain it in more depth in a video? Thanks!
I do need to do a video on airspace's it's just a really big topic to cover. But I do need to make one. You can fly over clouds if they are broken. You just legally can't fly through a cloud, or into IFR conditions without your IFR certification / being on an IFR flight. But I have flown through open windows of broken clouds above them. 500 feet below or 1000 feet above is the general rule of thumb for VFR and clouds. Yes, you can fly wherever you want and use VOR to get from one airport to another but VOR is unfortunately becoming outdated and most people are just using a GPS now. Use an app like ForeFlight for an aviation GPS that will show you your position and everything around you. There are restricted zones and you need to know where they're at during your flight planning. You still need to be aware of everything that's on the way to another airport and a current aeronautical sectional chart will tell you everything you need to know to fly from one place to another safely. If you can get to know how to read those charts everything will make sense.
@@BradySkye Alright, yeah I looked up more tutorials and stuff and I am getting a better understanding of everything now! Thank you for your response! But what happens if it is suddenly really cloudy or foggy and you aren't allowed to fly IFR?
Chuck Smith Its always a good idea to study the map and pick out landmarks. But these days, most everyone has ForeFlight and a GPS. I get ForeFlight on my phone whenever I am going on a cross-country.
Hey, glad you enjoyed the flight! I do have my own plane, it just isn't flying yet. A couple of friends and I are restoring a Cruisair from the 1940's. Check it out right here if ya want: ruclips.net/video/X6km_N61qEk/видео.html. And I have no idea why there are bots in the comments lol.
Thanks for your video. I wish I could do the same as you. Safe flight bro! I was working in the ship home port is San perdro California and am planning to take a online Private pilot do you think it’s expensive and impossible for my situation? Thanks!
Thanks Marcus! You can do up it. A PPL costs around $7,000 or so. It just depends on who you go through. If you go through a flight school, that is about what it costs but it can be up to $10,000. I would guess in California it is a bit more than Florida.
Awesome video. Thank you. This will definitely help me as I have only trained and did my flying in uncontrolled airspace. I have moved and will need to get used to flying at a controlled airport but am extremely nervous of the radio calls and trying to make out the instructions given as they speak very quickly. I assume and in the interest of everyone's safety it is permissible to ask for a repeat of the instructions. What is the proper way to request that?
Glad it was helpful! Thanks David. If you ever need them to repeat something use your call sign and "Say again." Also, it's not a bad idea to throw in "student pilot" if you are uncomfortable. Even if you're not really a student that may make them slow down their calls a bit for you. Go up with someone who's familiar with the field a couple of times if you can. I think if you study up on those taxiways and runways, have a diagram, and write everything down, you'll be okay.
Awesome!! Can't wait to watch it. I've dreamed of getting my private pilot's license but for now I will attempt to get a jump start with MSFS. I have been taking off from a small strip just down the road where I will eventually pay for flight instruction in a 152. Your radio communication guide was extremely helpful!

Just wanna say you are a down to earth, HUMBLE teacher looking to help others be more proficient pilots. Hard find indeed.
Happy belated! Thanks for your kind words and inspiration Jake. I agree, it is not easy to find pilots with humility.
This was the most simplest explanation I’ve ever heard. Thanks!!

Thanks! I'll definitely keep making flying videos and I really appreciate your support.
Excellent at explaining what seems complicated and overwhelming to most of us. Thanks for the great video.
Glad it was helpful!
Perfect instructions for new students, you worked a lot on it.
I haven’t flown from North East Rgnl since 2015, you just made my day
One of the best airfields in Florida with , magnificent weather and outstanding ATC officers ❤️
Glad it was helpful! Oh wow, that's cool you have been to KSGJ. Yes, we are spoiled here. Amazing place to fly.
Thank you for this very helpful video! Not many people talk about communications although it is one of the hardest parts in flying an aircraft.
You just got a sub, keep up the great work!
Thanks a million! Glad to hear this is
helpful and I look forward to sharing more adventures with you.
I think you would be great for a flight instructor. you talk slowly and explain a lot of details.
Thanks! I'll keep instructing on RUclips : )
Great To have you as a instructor and how learn to fly... Actually learning on Flight simulator with your videos. Thanks a lot and keeping doing it; I am sure you going to get your IFR soon ;)
Good attitude, humble, well explained, good personality, that's all about.
Next you should go for your CFI. Good luck with every step you take.
I probably will once I get my IFR and Commercial. Right now I'm just slowly building time because it's so dang expensive to get to 250 hours.
Beautiful, Br. Brady very nice video. You give it from the Heart and are Trying to help. Simply Appreciate it. God Bless you Br.
Great video brother! Thanks so much for the info and taking the time out to do it. It is obvious you enjoy it, I’m happy you’ve got your own project to help continue that and learn from now. Stay safe and keep having fun with it! I can’t wait to see your future successes.
Thanks millions. Keep in touch. I wish you happiness as well.
Excellent instruction. You are an excellent instructor.
loved your approach mate! Friendly, calm, well explained, willing to help and with technical knowledge. Thank you!
thanks for these videos. i am a lapsed pilot looking to get back to it and this is very helpful. I appreciate it.
Glad to hear it! You're very welcome. Excited for you to get back up there.
@@BradySkye thanks , I am studying and looking for a CFi in my area to go back up. I am in southern calif,
It’s a great pleasure 2 see yours GA flights. It’s the true Wild aviation and u are very compromising 2 do a complete flight with the right procedures. I work in comercial aviation and there’s no fun anymore. So thank u 4 for the real fun flights
So sad what's happened to the industry. Long live general aviation and small, simple machines.
I love your input on aviation.
Very helpful. Thank you! I'm still very indimidated by the radio (Flight Sim/Vatsim) but this is so simple to follow. Thanks.
I just flew in to a class c airport last week and that was a little tricky but pretty fun.
Matt Olmstead Nice. We're you VFR and then contacted approach?
Love your videos! Especially your first trip to Ireland. We were set to go end of March until covid19. Postponed for October 2020 Ireland / Scotland. Love your videos ❤️
I appreciate it Sherry! Yes, I can't imagine how many trips have been canceled or postponed. As long as you can still go soon that's all that matters! I have some exciting trips coming up as well and look forward to sharing more with you. We were supposed to go to Italy in July, but moved that to 2021.

Awesome Doug. Great to hear that. I love that camera angle too. We're livin' in the future to be able to see perspectives like that.
amazing video, really clear and good information.
Thank you so much for being very thorough!
Absolutely. Glad you enjoyed it!
Nicely done. I'm a flight instructor in Brazil. A hug and fly safe 🇧🇷
Thanks! Very cool you are based in Brazil. What a beautiful country to fly around. Cheers. 😎
Awesome video! It's funny to see you cross US-1/Philips hwy right before you land. I live like 5 min from the St. Augustine airport. Lol
Oh nice!
thanks for your video Brady, viele grußen.
Happy to have you on board!
Great video and well explained.
Great video. Let's have some more radio stuff. You make it very clear and easy to understand.
Martin Satherley Great to hear that! (pun intended) I'm planning another one at an uncontrolled field in the near future. 👍🏽
Good idea Brady.
Dude txs for the video, that controller talked fast and kinda mumbled the last instruction of crossing the approach end of 6 to the ramp. Tx God you had CC on this video otherwise I would be lost! I definitely learned something new today. Thank you!
You gave me the confidence to go on vatsim. Im not scared of atc anymore
Haha awesome. Let me know if you have any questions. Talking on the radio can be a lot of fun when you get the hang of it.
Really great and helpful video. I hope you will be making more videos emphasizing radio work.
Glad I could help! Yes, more to come.
Excellent Video very informative, keep it up love watching your videos, you will make a great Flight instructor.
C.S.Rodney No plans to be an instructor yet but thanks! I'll keep making more aviation vids. 👍🏽
Thank you for this lesson. Great video.
Thanks for your efforts, I appreciate. That was a great explanatory video.
Thanks for flyin' with me. Stay tuned for more.
Really great! thanks for this. I learnt a lot. Hope to start flying soon...
Thank you very much. This helps a lot!
No problem Bret!
Very useful, thanks man.

Hi
How much preparation do you do( of the airport, weather, where you wanna go,) the night before?
All the best Shaun
Just weather. This kind of flight doesn't really require any planning since I wasn't traveling to another airport. Plus, it's my home airport where I got my license so I am very familiar with it. But normally your preparation would be studying sectionals, having your airport diagrams printed, and following the acronym NWKRAFT.

The most difficult part is trying to understand what they are saying, as I sometimes don't understand some words in their sentence. How do I ask to repeat, and also how to better understand in the muffled radio static?
That ATIS was so fast. How can a normal person capture all that info? Looks like a great place to fly. Lots of landmarks.
lol I know right. You get used to the voice for the ATIS after a while.
When you where holding short of rwy 31 shouldn't have you said "ready for departure" instead of "ready for take-off"? Because I think that the term " take off" is only said after the clearance to avoid any confusion
Pedro Sánchez Good question. You would only say departure if you are going to depart the airspace. In closed traffic, you wouldn't say departure.
Agree. Only say "take off" after clearance for take off from ATC. We are using CASR anyway and since you're flying an "N" plane I strongly guess you are FAR pilot , maybe there are some differences.

Interesting. I’ve always heard you only say departure when you are departing the airspace.

But what happens if it is suddenly really cloudy or foggy and you aren't allowed to fly IFR?
So what radio equipment do you use to tell that you’re 10 miles out?
Chuck Smith Its always a good idea to study the map and pick out landmarks. But these days, most everyone has ForeFlight and a GPS. I get ForeFlight on my phone whenever I am going on a cross-country.
Love support n respect from Pakistan bro big love❤👍
joel gill Thanks. I have had so many people tell me I need to go to Pakistan. Maybe I will make it there one day.
Wow, thank you so much!! Do you own your own plane? Great content! (Why is there three people that are bots in the comments lol)
Hey, glad you enjoyed the flight! I do have my own plane, it just isn't flying yet. A couple of friends and I are restoring a Cruisair from the 1940's. Check it out right here if ya want: ruclips.net/video/X6km_N61qEk/видео.html. And I have no idea why there are bots in the comments lol.
Thanks for your video. I wish I could do the same as you. Safe flight bro! I was working in the ship home port is San perdro California and am planning to take a online Private pilot do you think it’s expensive and impossible for my situation? Thanks!
Thanks Marcus! You can do up it. A PPL costs around $7,000 or so. It just depends on who you go through. If you go through a flight school, that is about what it costs but it can be up to $10,000. I would guess in California it is a bit more than Florida.
Would you recommend 16 to 17 year olds to get there pilots license?
Absolutely.
Awesome video. Thank you. This will definitely help me as I have only trained and did my flying in uncontrolled airspace. I have moved and will need to get used to flying at a controlled airport but am extremely nervous of the radio calls and trying to make out the instructions given as they speak very quickly. I assume and in the interest of everyone's safety it is permissible to ask for a repeat of the instructions. What is the proper way to request that?
Glad it was helpful! Thanks David. If you ever need them to repeat something use your call sign and "Say again." Also, it's not a bad idea to throw in "student pilot" if you are uncomfortable. Even if you're not really a student that may make them slow down their calls a bit for you. Go up with someone who's familiar with the field a couple of times if you can. I think if you study up on those taxiways and runways, have a diagram, and write everything down, you'll be okay.
@@BradySkye Thank You Brady for your assistance and support.
Anyone else here because they just got MSFS 2020 lol?
Chris James I am lol. New MSFS 2020 vid coming today.
Awesome!! Can't wait to watch it. I've dreamed of getting my private pilot's license but for now I will attempt to get a jump start with MSFS. I have been taking off from a small strip just down the road where I will eventually pay for flight instruction in a 152. Your radio communication guide was extremely helpful!
Chris James Very cool! Happy to hear that. Join my Discord Channel and we'll go fly together: discord.gg/PT6tdD. 😎
Do
