Fighter jets are made to takeoff, fight, and land, so when we needed to get the L-39 to Vegas, range is always a top concern. L-39 Part 11.

This controller is amazing dealing with you guys being a little obnoxious about your lack of fuel planning. It’s a super busy airspace just saying unable to every request without much other information is weak. Sweet plane and video tho👍

@777rogerf Год назад

Many nits engaging in picking as as Matt acquired a jet. This will calm down as they realize that he can do this because he takes so many aviation enthusiasts along on his flights via outstanding videos published on RU-vid. Therefor, Matt's jump up to a jet fighter trainer is a big step up for the overwhelming majority of viewers.

This channel has unfortunately become little more than click bait and a very poor example for general aviation. The unfortunate part is that those watching this who are looking to an aviation career or just get into general aviation may not realize how ridiculous and unsafe much of this is all to generate clicks on his website. Instead of mocking the Air Traffic Controllers for his lack of planning, perhaps he should do a video sitting next to one so he can better understand their responsibility in the bigger picture of keeping everyone in the airspace they control safe. When he bought the jet, it's too bad he didn't let them keep the primidone attitude that obviously came with it.

Why do you hate ATC so much? They are doing their jobs and have no clue that you fly an aircraft with limited fuel range. You say "unable" but do not give a reason and then you chuckle as though you did it intentionally. This creates congestion on the frequency because now she has to ask questions.

Seems like they knew they messed up when the controller assumed that they couldn't descend because of weather (even though the controller wasn't aware of any weather in their way) and they didn't want to tell the controller that it was actually because of fuel planning problems.

I said “that’s my bad, I did the planning” because we were initially burning more fuel than we thought we were, so after that we did have to work with ATC to stay higher instead of their normal turboprop descent profile from the 20s, which clearly didn’t impact any operations, it’s just nonstandard.

L-39 aircraft can be equipped with 4 external tanks which increases the range. Most of us flying jets have fuel usage issues when we try and stretch the trip. The proper thing to do is to flight plan a route that gives us an out to a closer airport such that we can land and fuel up without creating an issue for ATC. Many times we have flown into Houston where the controller want us at a low altitude 45 miles from the airport, you just have to plan for it.
