Brazilian Pilot WON'T FOLLOW Instructions | Creates CHAOS! 😨 

He caused so much CHAOS! no one noticed CAP13 ditching in the atlantic at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="638">10:38</a> 🥴

This sounds like a typical VATSIM session to be honest 😂

"so long..." - "See ya" what a beautiful ending of this Story lol

ATC: Say speed! Pliot: SPEED! S-P-E-E-D!

The pilot’s voice sounds like he’s missing oxygen or had some alcohol 😂

I have to say that the controllers were actually very professional. They understood the problem and dealt with it the best they could. No shouting no screaming no more pressure. Excellent job Boston controllers.

English comprehension for the first dude was hovering somewhere around 50% of what it should be. When I hear “turn right five degrees”, I chuckled because I knew there was no way that was getting read back correctly or followed immediately.

I like that he tried the ole Jedi Mind Trick when he was hit with the possible pilot deviation

Thank God I am piloting my car without the need of ATC comms. I can turn any headings I want while maintaining an altitude of 0 feet above the ground

It doesn't seem like English comprehension was the issue, he sounds like he's awake for 48 hours straight. And it looks like he fell asleep mid first approach and came back with a totally reenergized tone after waking up, at least momentarily.

this is why we need to make sure every pilot is perfectly fluent in english

Meanwhile two very experienced USA pilots disconeced their transponder and did not follow the rules while flying over Brazil and hit and Boing 737 killing all 154 passengers….😢

Me giving my dad turn by turn Mapquest directions in the 90s

I think the pilot was a bit overwhelmed with the english communications. He is not so bad at listening (he repeated many times the correct FL), but he definitely was bad at following the instructions. Good thing that the ATC was very assertive, and dealt with this traffic properly.

I wouldn't want to talk on the radio either if my callsign was PSFBL, what a mouthful every time.

This guy paid someone to take his language proficiency test lmao

Classic ATC drinking game one…things go from bad to worse and then you get a different voice on the radio.

This is better than trying to find the next best thriller on Netflix. Stressed TF OOUT.

Sounds like two different pilots on the radio - changed after the missed approach

I don’t understand how ATC deals with so many pilots that basically mumble under their breath. I’ve listened to more ATC communications and it seems to be the norm, not the exception with mumbling.

That sounds like a combination of language barrier and impairment (or illness). It's like he didn't even want to be flying.

Felt so sorry for this guy but he does need to practice his English. However as a non-native speaker from Europe I must say that I find it way easier to understand the English of European ATC than US ATC. They could vocalize much better than they do.

Just a little misunderstanding and he didnt cause any caos at all. The pilot was trying his BEST and was very respecfoul.

When the controller says "possible pilot deviation I have a phone number to copy when you are ready" he can just reply "we are not ready, wait until we landed" right? It is a distraction especially for this pilot.

The first pilot should go back to basic English lessons. He'd be hard pressed to buy food at the local supermarket. - "That will be $28.95, sir." - "Monday."

This reminded me of the day I had my wisdom teeth pulled.

The problem here was that he wasn't completely insecure with his English. This is a big problem here in the US, many people have no idea, sometimes you politely and calmly ask them to stop speaking faster but the idiots continue speaking the same way or sometimes even increase the speed.

Let's just hope the FAA was ready to greet this "pilot" upon landing. He's not drunk but he's definitely not qualified to be flying IFR.

PSBFL is based in Brazil. One cannot let landing gear malfunctions keep you from flying the plane. Deviating more than 100' can get you written up and it sounds like this guy blew that by a country mile. I remember in flight training on a Mooney that my instructors would throw as many distractions as they could - but they were making sure that I maintained control and awareness despite systems analysis to correct "mechanical problems." When you fly turbines, this should be rote.

Sounded like dad had been doing some drinking during the flight up to Boston. The son jumped in to save dad from losing his licence

The ATC should realize that all they have to do was speak slowly, but instead they went full Eminem on the guy

Not even now, with subtitles, that dude still did not understand WTF just happened...

The first pilot sounded impaired to me and it seems like someone else took control thank god. This doesn't give me a lot of faith in the awkward pilot who obviously was having some kind of difficulty understanding directions.

Pilot sounds like he’s partially inebriated

As a Brazilian working with people from the US, I can understand the struggle of not knowing exactly what the natives are saying. But at least I wasn't flying a plane 😆.

The Controller needs to realize that he is completely overloading this guy by giving a phone number, delegate that to Ground after landing, complete waste of time! That Pilot can’t even follow basic english instructions, sad state of affairs these days… His own callsign was a struggle for this guy!

PS FBL is from Brazil. This is an Embraer 505 Phenom. Seems like the pilots cannot communicate effectively. One would expect a higher level of proficiency to fly this airplane.

Language barrier is a problem here, but mainly this guy is not familiar with Phenom 300/G1000 ILS procedure.

That guy really sounded like a bit if a dingbat, if I may say so. Following directions was not one of his strongest points!

Having to add the 5 degrees for him is wild

This is why the FAA needs to do cursory inspections on all private and charter aircraft, both prior to and immediately after arriving. In Europe, we're faced with what is known as a SAFA Inspection. The inspector literally goes through everything to make sure we're 100% legal.

In a situation like this, as the life of the plane and the environment are at risk, it is better for someone with more patience to work on this communication.

Is "landing gear disagreement" is Portuguese for "The captain was drunk so I thwacked him on the head"?

As a member of the Brazilian community we would like to apologies for this one. He was instructed not to go to Boston. His English is still very broken.

Scary. He's not driving his Beemer, this is the SKY, pal!

language barriers are inconvenient but are a fact of life, sometimes you have to take extra steps to communicate with people who communicate differently than you are accustomed to. In my old job my coworkers would always complain when a non-english speaking customer would ask for assistance. They would run away not even trying to speak or listen to the customer and claim it's not their responsibility. Imagine if someone deaf/mute came up to you obviously needing assistance. Would you run away from them because you are not deaf/mute? No, you stand there awkwardly playing charades until you figure out how to help them. or use your phone translator/text app lmao

Ignoring possible pilot deviation is wild 😅

This isnt just a problem with English, but also completely ignoring proper procedures.

What he meant by “landing gear disagreement” was that the two of them couldn’t agree when to swing the gear.

How do you get this far into a flying career with comms like that 😂

I’m not a pilot but I think I could follow directions better.

Why is the audio on these super-expensive jet planes so horrible ? 😅

"Localizer and Glideslope at the same time?"

He mention a landing gear issue. He never refused to follow instructions. This is a click bait video 🤬🤬🤬

This is the same incompetent pilot as a recording from klas on this same channel They need to prohibit this guy from usa airspace.

Got the money to buy an airplane but don’t know the basics of the language..then puts the son to take over the radio. Why i’m not surprised.

I’m in Boston and have never even been on a plane, but I’m halfway through this video and it’s scary af

As a brazilian, I'm very sorry, we're not that stupid.

Landing gear disagreement: he thought he could land fine with a nose full of gear, we disagreed.

I feel like there were actually three pilots flying PBL on that approach. The last pilot sounded like a kid.

If the pilot was dealing with landing gear problems, WE ALL KNOW that the crew's priority is to manage the critical situation of the aircraft, not to answer the radio !!! Or is it that only I know that ???

A classic example of a foreign pilot with limited English skills. They might grasp only half of the messages, if that. When English isn't your first language, becoming fluent takes time. For a pilot, this can be extremely stressful, especially if they don't fly regularly or are in unfamiliar places. This is even more challenging for single-pilot aircraft with higher workloads. If you're an ATC and suspect this issue (pilots rarely admit they don't understand, except for frequent 'repeat, please' and ‘say again’), speak slowly, clearly, and keep messages concise. Save the reprimand for when they're safely on the ground. Reducing stress and complexity can save lives."

Being a Brazilian who is fluent in English, it comes across that the first pilot either didn't speak the language fluently or couldn't hear the directions form ATC correctly. Just disappointing!!!

What a Charlie Foxtrot.

Those criticising the pilots, now watch it without subtitles. The ATCO's are incomprehensible, dont articulate and use non-standard request like turn 5 degrees right. ATCO'S not helpful and make matters worse for the pilots and themselves, totally unprofessional.

my goodness. U know what this is called right? "Get the cheapest you can get."

What happens in the case that ATC and the pilots simply can not communicate? Can ATC reach out to someone who speaks Portuguese? I acknowledge that that simply should not be necessary, but this came close.

It’s like trying to control a cat.

First pilot seemed to be having language difficulties. When they switched, things got much better.

What was the actual outcome of this situation? Hire some Cape Air pilots and send those 2 back to flight school. Language barrier would mean to just ask for help. Ayuda Me!!!

I’m not reassured by the notion that a pilot who already seems overwhelmed has to drop everything to copy a phone number. Maybe that process can be modernized soon?

Who signed this guy off as "English Proficient"?!?!?

Title is a little overblown. Pilots experienced difficulty and chose proper priority, aviate. Sounds like they switched PIC, fixed problem, and then continued on as normal.

I really don’t understand why it’s so difficult to debrief your charts and airport prior to getting in the air??? He clearly didn’t debrief a damn thing smh

Just like in IVAO… 😂

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="430">7:10</a> "looks like you blew though a little bit there"

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="532">8:52</a> "Landing gear disagreement" means "estámos borrados de tanta caipirinha" in Brazilian.

FBL sounds stoned out of gourd

Brazilian Nuts this episode dude.

Terrible. English is the international standard language for civil aviation. If you can't speak and understand it, you have no business flying an aircraft--anywhere in the world, let alone in the US. A "landing gear issue." I hate it when that happens! Good one.

PS-FBL is a Phenom 300. My guess is that the plane's owner is flying it and is impaired somehow.

how about letting him land how can he call anyone when he is landing.

I live in an area where the flights come over my house for incoming and outgoing depending on the wind direction. These types of pilots scare the hell out of me.

I have lived in Brazil for 20 years. The way English language courses worked here for years is that teachers need to take training (not just pass a test) by a Brazilian institute even if they are native speakers with foreign university graduations. This was implemented to protect Brazilian English teachers from unfair competition..

yea if y'all really looking for the cause of it, you'd focus on other adjectives about the pilot, i think his incompetence is more important to be cited than the place he was born in.

The Co younger and probably with better English took the radio lol “better now”

This man sounds fatigued! also, when a pilot deviation occurs why not let them get on the ground first before giving the warning and the number? all it does in flight is increase stress and lead to more mistakes.

PSFBL Say “cancel IFR”

ATC in the US shows always zero emphaty and zero “no blame culture” (saying “possible pilot deviation” on frequency?!) Speaking slower, using and limiting only to standard ICAO phraseology (which clearly they don’t use or either know) without overwhelming the poor pilot it would have provided a different outcome. Thinking that not everyone is American helps.

Some newbies english speakers are good while they can control the dialogue, if the other party deviates, they will try to translate on the go, and evidently he lost his nerve, the other guy with better understanding took over and made a few minor mistakes while maintaining the approach withing reasonable parameters! A little ego bruising for the first guy but all safe in the ground! I like to point out the recent accident with that girl in Houston, she was native but the lingo got her confused and she stoped aviating!

I know little of this subject except as a flying passenger but I would assume Boston Logan is a less congested airport compared to JFK, Chicago, LA or SFO and Heathrow or say Charles DeGaulle , in France. Can you imagine ATC trying to get this guy on the ground at one of those congested airports?

Control should have more patient and be more clear with instructions....

ATC should have spoken more slowly.

This is PAINFUL to watch and listen to. 😳

i am exhausted.

and thats why an ICAO level 4 is not enough... also pilot situation awareness was lacking

I think that Brazilian pilot is pissing off the air traffic controller for not doing what the air traffic controller wants him to do

None of their callouts were remotely close to being complete or standardized. These folks have no business operating in our national airspace system.

"Okay"?

The pilot sounds sedated.
