- Funniest ATC Air Traffic Control conversations from New York JFK Airport Tower and pilots from around the world. Starting off with a captain hearing strange sounds on the Tower radio "sounds like a small child singing Justin Bieber" and the usual between British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and American Airlines banter at JFK Airport. Making the Funniest ATC video pure comedy and also insightful.

The best one by far is the controller telling the two planes to figure it out. So they both agree to not move at all. Burst out laughing at that. Problem solved.
I've been on that flight.
According to legend they are both still there, now two months later and they are expected to remain there many years. After a few hours they both ran out of fuel. After a day and a half, passengers pulled the emergency exit slides and left. The rotting corpses of the pilots are still strapped into their seats, glaring at one another. Someday an overpass will be built over these decaying aircraft allowing the airport to continue functioning without either budging, as they will be there each refusing to move for 59 days, then 59 years. See Dr. Seuss's story "The Zax."
@@quillmaurer6563 A truly timeless masterpiece. I hope we can preserve it forever.

Lmao “I’m not moving”
“Neither am I”
“We’ve got it worked out.”😂😂😂😂
I love how the ATC was going off about bothering him and the guy was like "but I need to talk to you 🥺👉👈" 😂
I'm a little confused by this. What does a pilot do is this situation? If it's not an emergency are they just supposed to wait?

I had a Controller in Newark once do the "Don't call us we'll call you", after a little over 2 hours of waiting the frequency started to settle down and I decided to call about our status. Their response was "You guys are still here?!!!"

A pilot friend of mine once told me that the most challenging thing a pilot does is not flying the plane, but operating and conversing through the radio.
Pilot friend of mine told me the exact same thing.
edit: especially pilots flying small planes operating under vfr.
@@SMFCNA As a pilot I can confirm. "Im at 3000 feet over point X" "Climbing to 3000 toward point X, no conflict"
Ive had that happen multiple times. Hey I want to climb to the altitude youre at over the exact area youre in but no conflict" So frustrating
Any communication with ATC is the toughest part of the job (military maintenance).
@@alexsmith2885 Sorry but Flight Sim pilots don't count
@@gandalfthegrey8236 how about commercially licensed pilots like me?
I love the conversation where the tower kept telling the plane to move, the pilot kept patiently explaining that his engines were not on and asking permission to start them, only to be told he couldn't do that where he was and he would have to move, to start his engines. I think that ground controller needed a bit more training.
It's almost like when someone over explains a video clip that everyone already saw so there was no need to explain it isn't it?
Who's on first...
She was illogical and horrible for the job. That pilot was so patient and well mannered with her.
And such clear, crisp, English from the very patient pilot. In an ideal aviation world, all pilots and controllers have such speech delivery so as to forego unnecessary stress of having to strain the ears.
@@lpm3734 You can't expect a native non-English speaker who's learnt English for becoming a pilot to be perfect by any stretch.

1:57 is the best one by far. Pilot reporting "We figured it out!" like it's a grand achievement of sorts while what they actually did was to decide who goes first.

@@noahfox6878 can ya believe him!, I didn’t get up to today ta deal with ya shit
I'd've told them to get that man a coffee, and a donut. Something with jimmies. We all have bad days.
After being a controller for 21 years, I can relate to the Nippon conversation. I had a Korean helicopter pilot request landing, and I told him to hold north of the field for traffic and he say's, "roger, we land now" and flew across the final approach course in front of a fighter doing about 160 mph. When I marked the tape and went to file a hazard report, we found out that he had an emergency that he did not declare. Luckily he didn't create an even larger one.
That is terrifying. I imagine as a controller that is one of the most frustrating and scary things to experience, when someone either mishears or disregards you and someone else just doing their job gets put in a life threatening situation.
@@DisDatK9 Yeah bit scary when you have foreign pilots wo, although the can speak english, their accent combined with the static of the radio can make way for some miscommunication both ways
A few weeks ago I landed and told the tower ‘I may have hit a groundhog on the runway!
Somebody replied: ‘Oh, great, six more weeks of winter.’
"They're in their seat, just not the right one" .. best line of 2019...
By far!
9:07
🤣🤣🤣
The one pilot who called the other guy a ‘pinhead’! 😂😂😂
That was my favorite
🤣🤣🤣
Just the pop when he said Pinhead
"Who you calling a pinhead?" - Patrick Star
as a Former ATC that pilot who just read his entire boarding speech drove me right up the damn wall!! I Wanted to scream at him!
I was honestly laughing at the "piano solo of a 5-year-old" effect coming from all the other pilots on the frequency keying their mics to get him to realize he was transmitting. I bet he NEVER lived that one down!
Did you ever ride along on the flight deck? Every pilot has done this, it is quite easy to do with the Audio Panels installed on most aircraft and the same transmit switch and Microphone are used for both Communications. As a pilot, I was laughing my ass of because he just kept going and going and going...what great customer service!
You just relax and go to sleep. We won't wake you unless necessary 🤣
@@firstlt2 had it happen for the first time the other day (I’m in ATC) it is pretty funny especially as a few other pilots piped up afterwards thanking him for it, luckily I’d already cleared an aircraft to land as he was on very short final by time he stopped talking!
I love when the Captain thinks that he’s talking to the passengers but really he’s talking to the ATC 😂😂😂
Oh, and he just kept going on and on and on. I was so embarrassed for him. You could tell that other pilots and probably ATC were trying to step on him (the sqeaky noises during parts of the transmission) to get him to SHUT UP. 🤣🤣🤣
it happens a lot actually and it is really annoying, specially if the ground is busy! and they can´t deny they did that!!! sometimes they do, when they leave the mic on in the middle ofa conversation.. gossiping about things.. I get all curious and can identify the flight by the voice of the criminal...lol
@@claudiafreitas3964 can you stop them? like kick them off the channel?)
@@GalinaEv no, all ww can do if the transmission is blocked and starts to get too long is open a new frequency and transfer all other traffics
@@claudiafreitas3964 Isn't their second radio usually tuned to a set frequency (or couple options)? So, couldn't someone try reaching the other pilot on the 2nd radio to get the chucklehead sitting next to him to unkey is mic?

"I dont know how that happened, they are savages on Saturday night" sounds like something a commentator would say in wwe
"That's why I'm Trying to get home..." Awesome!
Things happened that night...
That was Cringey... he wouldn’t say something like that to a male pilot.
@@strnglhld
OH yes he would. In fact, he'd most likely have been worse. They're usually more cautious/careful with what they say to women as that can get them fired. A male pilot would just be told to "suck it up" and "grow a pair".
Robert Alexander - In 19 years flying I’ve never heard that said by a man to another male pilot. Now, guys joking around and ribbing each other is one thing (and that can get very silly)... But I’ve never heard a random comment about another male pilot’s sexual prowess like this. We joke but we have respect first and foremost.
@@strnglhld That's what I was thinking! My jaw dropped. I'm sure he thought he was being funny....or even giving a compliment, but women wouldn't think so. Most of us ignore it so we can get our work done but it's not appreciated. -- I'm elderly, but when I was 19, an older man would always whistle when I walked down the hall of the building we worked in -- I knew he meant it as a compliment, but I always cringed. After several weeks, I walked up to him and said, "Please don't do that. I'm not selling anything and I'm not giving anything away." He was totally shocked and so were the other men around him. Total silence. Never had that problem again.
Aww, that poor guy from Nippon Airways! "I am, ah, not enough space". He needed more English lessons before they qualified him.
And that east coast guy sounded like such a jerk to him
@Panama Ball Pilots are trained in English with a proficiency for phrases mostly used in air travel. "Not enough room (or space)" isn't something that would be used very often. He probably got the word "space" from "airspace". That said, I knew perfectly well what he was trying to say. For the controller to start talking about the Argentine aircraft coming out before he goes in was just causing the pilot more confusion.
As much as I love Japan, I really do believe their country needs a better English education system.
@@ndbd9drn You can't teach a language if there is no interest. Their English education is fine, but they just don't really need it in a homogenous society, so to them there is no point.
@@Arigatowo they may not NEED it, but in a country that's a major player in the global economy in a world where English is the standard international language, not having a strong command of English can be a real handicap

6:09 ATC: long-winded rant about being crowded by his coworkers
Pilot: “…open some sectors” 🤣🤣
Dude the tornado one and the one where the ATC said “who told you, you could have the right side’’ killed me
"Did he really transmit that?"
isn't it the one where the guy answered ''the guy before you...''? i loved that one!
"This will be my only announcement..."
I'd love to see him speed his way through the actual passenger brief irritated as hell after ATC told him he transmitted over live frequency and not to the cabin.
Lol!
"Sorry, you're wrong. You're gonna have to make another one because no one on your plane heard any of that."
😂
“Thanks for the brief.” 🤣
That was so awkward
And the brief took forever. I was bored already and I wasn't even ON that plane. Nobody cares. Shut up.

"that's why I'm trying to get home" - she shut him down LMAO
*I wanna be kept away from other airplanes!!*
Mac Doodles that was my favorite 🤣
love hearing the guy I can t move unless I start the engines LOL
She kept clearing him and bless him he kept asking if that also meant he was clear to do his crossbleed in the ramp since he needed all his engine in order to actually follow the taxi instructions
If he needs a crossbleed then he can't start half his engines alone
@@ShiningDarknes lol bless him. I totally understand his frustration tho. Normally you wouldn't cross bleed at a ramp unless it's completely clear. Running engines at that higher power setting can be problematic for the ramp folks, since more air is being ingested into the engine, and exhaust velocity is higher. It can also be a problem for ATC, as any other aircraft taxiing behind an aircraft doing a cross-bleed start could get buffeted or damaged.
“But I need to talk to you”.😂😂😂

She seemed like a total ditz.
There are idiots in every field. That woman was an idiot. Simple as that.
I have never flown a 747 but if 2 engine aircraft can taxi on one engine, why cant a 747 taxi on 2?
@@mema0005 I'm not a pilot, but there's a mathematical principle that might explain it. The mass of an object does not scale in a linear fashion. The mass of an object is proportional to its volume, however, as the square cube law states, when an object undergoes a proportional increase in size, its new surface area is proportional to the square of the multiplier and its new volume is proportional to the cube of the multiplier. So, say an object is twice as big as another, but their proportions are identical; that means the volume of that object is equal to the volume of the smaller one times 2 to the power of 3 (so, 8 times more volume, thus 8 times more mass). Based on this principle, it's entirely possible that the massive 747 would require more than two of its engines to taxi if each individual engine isn't 8 times more powerful than a two-engine plane's half its size.
@@mema0005 Besides what Max Savage said, different engines power different parts of the plane. What engiens power what depends on the make, model, and type of aircraft.
It could very well be that that make of plane required 3 engines to power the brakes, hydraulics they need for taxing, lights, and etc. etc.
All engines do not power all electronics, nor does 1 engine power everything that's important (incase of failure).
At certain points in the taxi you can turn on or off certain engines, such as when coming up to the gate, however, if they were taxing out to the runway, they may need that 3rd engine to ensure everything is flight ready, and there isn't a delay on take off, as starting that 4th engine takes time.
There is alot that goes into why it cannot taxi on just 2 engines, but this is the basics of it.
If you want to know more, Captain Joe is an airline pilot who makes youtube videos explaining alot of questions like these. ruclips.net/video/9sU20sfQY54/видео.html This is his video on why planes taxi with certain engines off, and some running.
2:26 "They're SAVAGES on Saturday Night" . . .🤣🤣
The BA pilot's dry sarcasm made me proud to be British.
That controller needs to go back to school lol. Pilot tells her he can't taxi until a crossbleed start, which isn't allowed in the whiskey alley. Controller tells him to magically push back and taxi to Charlie, then do the crossbleed start... so he can taxi. What a fucking idiot.
(Controller getting annoyed that people are talking on radio at the same time)

"now now children" LMAO
The Aussie pilot doesn’t say ‘sorry’, he says ‘that’s a beer I owe you’
6:50 Allow me to translate: "that's a beer I owe you"
half life reference intensifies
Speedbird 116 is my nominee for "patience of a saint."
Here is what it'd sound like if the pilot were from Tyneside:

That's a variation of the classic Eric Morecambe line to Andre Preview when said he was playing all the right notes, just not necessarily in the right order.
The "Nah ima stay" had me dying 😆😆
Classic conversations from my flying days in the early 80s.
I'm coming in from the East into a low setting sun and they're flying lefthand circuits on runway 02 with a C152 doing touch and goes. Can't remember the exact exchange but ATC asked if I could see the C152, I couldn't and suggested I maintained 1000'. As I passed through the 02 centre line ATC asked if I could see the C152 and I told them yes and it was right underneath me turning finals. I'm damn sure they didn't know where it was.
Same airport, same direction, similar conditions. Requested clearance to land and was told to expedite because, 'There's an F27 about three miles out!' That was bloody tight but I dropped it on the pan and got off at the first taxiway. ATC comment, 'Show off!'
Flying through a military control zone I picked up the wrong railway line heading for my destination and got an, 'Are you sure you're following the correct track, because it looks like you just got on the wrong train here!'
Flying my qualifying cross country between Bristol and Exeter I'm following the M5 motorway and went into cloud. I could still see the ground but technically it was IMC. Bristol ATC, 'G-**** can you confirm you are still VFR?' I'd been waiting almost a month to make this flight so made an affirmative reply. ATC, 'Are you sure?' At that point the sky cleared.
I think anyone who has ever flown anything has examples of amusing ATC conversations. I once called up for taxi clearance and gave the wrong aircraft reg. ATC response boiled down to something like, 'Didn't you already depart about 40 minutes ago?'
More, please! :))
As the SOF asks the sortie why they didn't taxi?
Nobody searched for this. Nobody.
And yet everyones here
CJ Pockets never searched for this but enjoyed it more than I thought I would
But we found it and life is good again.
Very Very true! Nothing near searching for this but it was interesting anyways. THIS is why I dont bother posting for you tube bc the videos that are pushed arent decided by actual searches and what not ( meaning no matter how hard you work or good the video might be its up to the industry of you get put there or not) Would rather work fast food... hard work but YOU KNOW your getting paid what you are for what you work

ATC: Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven.
BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
ATC: Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?
Speedbird 206: Stand by, Ground, I’m looking up our gate location now.
ATC (annoyed): Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?
Speedbird 206 (nonchalantly): “Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark though… and I wasn’t landing
Haha brilliant
Old joke, still funny😂
While waiting on the infamous Dixie taxiway at KATL. A Delta L-1011 was behind a Fokker F-28 and calls ground to tell the Fokker to get off his brakes and that HE has a schedule. The F-28 then opened up his clamshell speed brakes mounted on the rear tail center and made a farting noise. The next 10 seconds was the most silence I have ever heard and then everyone started laughing.
I have so much respect for pilots. The guy who had two engines running is probably the most patient human being ever! 🤣 My very first pilot I had was French and he was amazing! I’ve only ever flown once, but that was the easiest flight I’ve had....compared to flying back home that is.

I had to look this up, because I was puzzled as to what a “crossbleed start” is, as were many others…
A crossbleed start apparently involves running up an engine that has been started with a ground-cart up to 80 % or so and then somehow some of the airflow is ducted through the wing over to the other engines to get them spinning fast enough to ignite them as well.
Cannot do that with other aircraft close behind you. That’s why Speedbird 116 was so frustrated - he had two of four engines running, but really needed all four for proper taxiing, let alone takeoff.
For that, he needed to do a crossbleed start, and couldn’t get clearance from ATC to get to an area where he could do this without frying the aircraft immediately behind him.
I am NOT a pilot, and invite anyone who IS to jump in here and help me out! Thanks!
P.S. This video is a scream, even if it’s difficult to understand for someone not involved in aviation, sometimes! 🤣
Correct. "Ducting some of that airflow through the wing" is called bleed air. It's a perfectly normal mode of operation, bleed air is used for air conditioning throughout the whole flight. But for a crossbleed start (when you take that bleed air and instead of pumping it into the cabin, you use it to get the other engine to turn) you just need a lot more of it.
Just for clarity, bleed air is taken upstream of the combustor. So it's just hot compressed air, not exhaust.
As that is a British Airways pilot, callsign Speedbird, trying to start two engines via a cross bleed start with two engines running, I'm 99% certain he was in control of a 747-400. In order to cross bleed start, the running engines must be throttled up so they provide the required duct air pressure for the other two engines to be started.
Throttling up the engines obviously creates more thrust and increases the hazard area behind the aircraft, and that is why he was not allowed to do it at the gate or on the whiskey taxiway.
I'm not a pilot, just a writer whose main character is a snarky spaceship pilot flying a jalopy held together by duct tape and hope.
I know a small handful of terms, but had not heard of crossbleeding, what it meant, or why it was an issue in this case. Thanks for defining it. :) This is going to come in handy. Now I can have my character sound like he actually knows what he's doing. :D
One of the best I heard:
Critter (The former ValuJet) pilot: "Critter 123 requesting direct Sinca (Fix near Atlanta)."
ATL ARTCC: "I'll think about it"
Critter pilot: "You sound just like my wife"
ATL ARTCC: "In that case, NO".
Critter pilot: Now you really sound like her.
I know nothing about planes, how they work or any of what this is about but this is gold
When you've watched Airforceproud95 and cannot help but laugh on the level of realism his ATC sims are. LOL
I always thought his name was GROUNDPOUND69

I just came back here from watching his ATC sims and i am laughing my ass off here imagining a few random planes drifting across the runways on their tails xD
We got a hot air balloon flying over at 300 knots...
"They're in their seat just not the right one"😂😂😂
Debating where someone should get their coffee, and the quality of everyone's coffee. It's good to know that there are some universal elements to all career paths.
"Hes a savage on a Saturday night"LOL XD
Gee i hope Speedbird 116 Heavy has finally left the airport!!!
I don't understand most of this stuff, but it's fun to hear how much sarcasm there is and how often the controllers slap the pilots. 😂
All the best conversations over ATC happen at JFK
I really liked the pilot who was broadcasting his preflight speech to the passengers across the ATC channel =)
"I wanna be kept away from other airplanes!"
Lol
As an ex-controller of many years, that brought back so many memories of similar funny moments. Thanks for posting.
I'm pretty sure that being a ATC has to be the most stressful job, but im glad these guys still have a sense of humor
6:53 "Theres a Boeing coming up your butt.."
lmao
that sounds like it maybe gonna hurt a little bit.
32 yrs “moving tin”, this brought back many good, hilarious & sometime frustrating moments on air. Best job in the World IMHO!
ATC: its going to be a lenghty wait
Pilot: how long is a lenghty wait because i have my engines running, should i turn them off
ATC: eerm, its going to be a lenghty wait stand by
pilot: how long is a lengthy time maam
ATC: i dont have an exact time
Pilot: whats the rough time?
"I WANNA BE KEPT AWAY FROM OTHER AIRPLANES" lol I die
its a wonder theres not more massive pileups on the ground,orgnised kaos at its best
You can't even spell chaos?

I absolutely love these clips. The work they have, has to be utterly stressful, yet they manage to have a good time of it
