😂 your my hero dude. From the Bravo bust to the squawk 7600 when you don't want to talk anymore and when the tower hits you with the light gun say you suddenly went color blind then when they wanted to defer your medical say your sight returned and finally when you say "I have ATIS information Yankee (or whatever) I have the weather" understand no one has the weather. Someone once told me if the radio is a big problem for you you're doing something right because it's "aviate navigate communicate" so you obviously understand your aircraft very well if the radio suddenly is the most confusing thing instead of the least confusing thing. But this video just perfectly defines what I believe any realistic practical person actually believes about spamming too much information on the radio and needing too much of a call back where you need to write a book just to read back the last radio phrase. 😂 this is just classic. Why keep it simple when you have all these tips and tricks? 😂
You forgot to call departure and let them know you've been trying to contact them about their vehicles extended warranty. That will get them to ignore you real good and forget about the whole number thing
YES!! Explosives Specialist.... Now it's time to have some fun! Seriously though, that IFR clearance is so spot on that it's almost like a controller was giving it. 🤣🤣🤣
The funniest part of this video is where Bryan really does forget to change his transponder back after this video 😆 Thanks for the great laughs though for real brother. I really did need this today.
Can you confirm there was more than just 1 at the beginning? According to the settings on this one, You Tube can only put 1 at the beginning of the video and one after it plays. There shouldn't be any more. If there are, I apologize. I turn as much of that stuff off as I can. I hate for people to come here and see a bunch of ads.
the airport on the sectional when I made that comment is frequently controlled by people who have very little patience for pilots and talk to them like their children.
"Roger tower, all that you said was very impressive but my ears were born Texan. Can you please say all that at Texan speed and not Yankee speed? Thanks!"
I'm surprised you didn't include "Declaring an Emergency" method of getting ATC to talk slower to you. A bonus is that they will navigate for you, and also clear all traffic away from you, so no need to scan outside for collision avoidance. lol
I'm such a newbie pilot, I got about half way through before I realized these are all things you should never, ever do. Hey, at least I figured it out!
Great advice, another classic. One change I would make though, instead of "cancel IFR clearance", I would record the IFR clearance they give on a hand-held digital recorder and just play it back to them over the radio........
Hey Bryan, one more thing to add, you forgot to cover how hard it is the learn the phonetic alphabet. I say instead of spending all that study time, just make up you own. Like, Apples, Bananas, Cats, Dogs, Etcetera. 😂😂. I actually heard a pilot on the radio say he had information bananas. 😮😂
I’ve been watching these videos for about 6 months now, and I just wanted to say thanks for doing this. I’m so caught up in my preliminary training that sometimes I forget to have any fun at all. You’re the man!
I have had enough pilot training to know you are the best aviation enthusiasts channel on the tube. If you ever rename your channel, please consider calling it “The Lighter Side Of Air”. You have the best timing 🤣
I've actually learned a ton from him. He reminds me of my favorite accounting professor. We'd be slogging through some obscure accounting entry and he'd stop and say, "Wanna know how the mob records that?" Oh, hell yeah, we remembered everything once we understood how to cook the books.
You are so funny!!! BTW, if you fly in Canada, try using French in the province of Quebec, then switch back to English every often. Fun time to be had...
As an ag pilot flying helicopters I haven't landed at a real airport in years, let alone talked with ATC. I found this to be a brilliant refresher. I have just signed myself off for a flight review having not done one in 6 years. Your instruction is awesome, thanks!
Thank god the word "Phraseology" does not figure in RT convo's .....else this channel would not exist !!! LOL LOL LOL Cheers and thank you for a humorous video ....errr radio ....err audio ... you know what i mean!
Why be jabbering rubbish mumbo jumbo, when we could be blasting mp3's. My dad was a full time ATC, I'm glad he never, ever spoke this cr@p at home. The only time I might of hear him talk any of it was in our Cessna (doubt it, since it was a untowered airport) or when i was visiting up in the tower (doubt it, since we were visiting). lol @ give yourself clearance...
Long clearances? Just say "wilco." Tired of talking? Just say "nordo." Basically any two syllable word ending in "o" will tell the controller that a) you're experienced and b) you don't want to tie up the frequency with unnecessary chatter
Hey! That's my dad. He used to pull that crap all the time, then when I had the radio, they would take it out on me. He also ran out of fuel, which I warned him about, and we had to land on Rt. 40. Goddamn Santini he was. Embarrassing as Hell. I am going to watch the rest of your videos. Thanks.
Alright... this vid had me rolling 🤣. Poorly towered airport, any traffic in the pattern I'm with you, cleared via magenta line, and my personal favorite >> Pilot to Atc: switch to my frequency. 🤣🤣 Well done!
Never did like the Grumman. You should have seen the looks on the faces of the airline pilots holding short when I drifted off centerline toward their little airliner on final. It was the airplane's fault. Not a good plane at all.
Your "Cancel IFR" one I've actually used before. Back in the dark ages when I was flying the 310 on dog flights and had someone along for time building, we were taking off out of the Boston area and got some long ridiculous clearance with airways the whole way to Ohio. He was completely flustered and couldn't keep up writing it down, and I just waved at him like "Don't worry, I got this" not writing anything. When the clearance was done I responded "Eight Sugar Pop, we'll just go VFR." The time builder just started laughing and said "I thought you actually were remembering all of that and couldn't figure out how you could catch that clearance."
I tried your technique once with about five hours under my belt, I was inbound five miles out of delta airspace, made my radio call… tower instructed me to call on the downwind abeam the tower… I replied Cessna Blah Blah Blah, CLEARED TO LAND… tower replied “ you ain’t cleared for nuthin!!!” My instructor laughed so hard I thought he was watching one of Bryan’s videos! 🤣🤣🤣
