mzeroa.lpages.co/gsatrialyt/ - Previously I shared with you a VFR arrival into Class B airspace. In this weeks video follow along as I depart VFR from MCO to LEE.
I really appreciated this video being pretty much uncut time wise. Having never flow into/out of bravo it gave a good sense of how long taxi takes, and waiting for TO.
It's funny she cleared you to 020 when it was 023skc. Oh well, "maintain VFR" thanks for all the informative videos, I have learned so much and someday I will be off MSFS and into the real thing! A good pilot is always learning, even when real flying will have to wait
Your videos are really well done. I have not flown in almost a year for a variety of reasons but mostly mechanical . My plane is almost ready to get back in the air and these short videos have been a great help to refresh me. Thanks
Great video! The woman at clearance delivery snuck an updated ATIS in on you at 3:16, Jason. "Departure ATIS Victor is current" was the very last thing she said, but you had Juliet.
She should articulate and not mumble. But it would be strange if Victor directly followed Juliet. Next one up would be Kilo. Plus there is no such thing as "Departure ATIS". ATIS is the same for departures and arrivals.
I am so happy to hear the ground controller make that small mistake in your callsign. Reminds me that the controllers are humans too and they make mistakes
Thanks for this video, it will help since I live near ATL and plan to fly there soon. BTW How did you change the RAM mount screw with the GoPro thumb screw (where the gopro attaches to the adapter). I carry around a screw driver currently and its a PITA.
One difference I keep noticing --- out here in the west, the initial and intended COURSE is also always a part of the clearance in Classes Bravo and Charlie, along with the expectation of the course (not just destination) request by the pilot
Thank you so much for this video. Every student should watch this. I have my Private and this information was missed. I took way to long to learn this while at the Citation Service center.
I thought it was strange how you were told to remain outside the Bravo while you were still in the Bravo. Regardless, now I know what they mean when they pull that on you!
Always, always, always check the runway and airspace before entering. Sometimes the tower screws up. Back in 2002 we were crossing the runway in a P-23 (big ass crash truck) tower gave us approval to cross, we confirmed and crossed. About 1/2 through was when we noticed the C-17 on final, pulling up and sailing right over it. The controller, a brand new airman fresh from tech school was doing his practical test for his 5 level (journeyman). Nothing was ever said or done until I told my neighbor at the dormitory what transpired. Needless to say she dragged me too the tower. The controller who messed up got decertified back to 3 level apprentice and an article 15. The driver operator and the crew chief on the apparatus received letters of reprimand (LORs) and not a damn thing happened to me. I was sitting third turd (handline man). I was out of that decision process and brand new too the department. I hadn’t even taken my flight line driver’s test yet.
During the summer months the cockpit of the Cessna can get very hot. We keep the door ajar until we are cleared for take off as it gives us extra air circulation in the cockpit. Our aircraft does not have A/C so the only way to get air into the plane is to leave the door open until we are ready to depart.
Hi Rayan, you are right! In some cases, ATC may want you at a different altitude for flight following if it conflicts with other traffic, such as jet traffic coming into MCO. Hope this helps! Please reach out to us at support@mzeroa.com if you need anything else!
legally speaking, this only applies above 3000AGL, which he is not in this video. ATC can also assign you any altitude they want to help out with traffic separation.
He has a camera with the POV of a student in the left seat, so he sits on the right to not block the view. He's also probably more proficient flying from the right seat, because that's where he's sitting when he's with students.
