"So I can't fly anymore?". Solo pilot entered active runway. Real ATC Audio 

This controller was amazing. He tried to calm her down and explained what the problem was and made sure she understand it. Props to him!

This is a true professional in the tower.

If I was her instructor, hopefully monitoring the frequency, I would have canceled today's activity and had her return to the ramp. Having the thoughts of being in trouble for the deviation must have been in the forethought of her mind and in my opinion, too much of a distraction.

That's a "Gold Medal" controller right there. As for the student - We are all going to make mistakes. It is essential that we learn to immediately put them behind us and get our minds back on the flying at hand and not let distraction cause further errors. It seems she did an admirable job of doing this (seeing as the video did not continue).

It's just a little more important to fully stop at a stop sign when you're in an airplane than it would be in a car on the road 😂

Very cool and calm controller. That goes a long way to prevent the pilot from becoming unnerved 👍

If I were a pilot, that’s the kind of controller I would hope to communicate with.

1978 long (300 NM) solo XC I taxied on to taxiway at GSO w/out a clearance. I thought I was still on the ramp. Ground called and informed me of my position, I requested taxi to runway, and that was that. 17,000 hours and 40 years later, no other deviations.

Okay, I turn now. Good luck everybody else!

Language barriers with student pilots is a hard thing with so many students coming to the US to learn. Patience like this is so very helpful!

She needs a couple more lessons...

In the spirit of Family Guy: "How much clearance I need to take off? None? I take off now! Good luck everybody else!"

This isn’t “just” a language barrier thing… she’s a student pilot SOLO?! She should have at least 20hr with an instructor most likely. Holding short is like step one of your first left seat flight ever. It’s almost like she had 2hr of instruction and got shoved into a plane against her will. Her SA was absolutely terrible, or there was a major language barrier. One or the other (or both) but you certainly can’t dismiss both. I will say, comms are really intimidating at that phase so I totally get that part, but if I messed up a “hold short” - I’d be actively resolving the situation ASAP and probably freaking out to clear the runway. Then again, you’ve also gotta be listening to landing aircraft - we’d still be at the ramp and my instructor would have me trying to build a picture of what’s happening in the air already. When approaching an active with ATIS after listening to ground for a few minutes, you should know everyone coming in and how far out they are - with that in mind, just taxiing over the bars onto an active is kinda indefensible.

Again with people flying who does not have a level 4 understanding of the english language

How much signal I need to cut across eight lane? None? I turn now. Good luck, everybody else!

I always stop at least 10 feet from hold short bars.

With a different controller, could there also be a possible deviation for zero readback when given the instruction to taxi down the runway and exit via C? I've seen clips of controllers being extremely picky about the readback being perfect.

What a guy...

Good old MYF I got my Private there in 1969. Great memories.

If this doesnt keep happening San Diego wont have airport anymore

The nice the controller it is.

lol so many people raced to their keyboards to be racist over this one.

How much turn signal do I need?

Super controller

i dont understand what wrong say turn left use runway and exit C so ??

Seems to be a language barrier at the very least. Hopefully she gets all of her "bugs" worked out before she hurts herself, or someone else. Good job to the controller for showing patience.

Planes in the air are 5x5. Planes on ground are 5x1. Terrible radio interference on ground.

Now I'm curious. When you've been givin "The Number" then that's a pretty big deal right? Aren't you supposed to get on the phone, get told you're done for, and that be that? She avoided the whole call with more ignorance to the situation, and was given a free pass back to the active? What am I missing here?

We’ve gotta crack down on the “English proficient” endorsement

If the pilot was a dude, ATC would be a lot more stern.

Nice controlling - not like in Australia

Sounded like a case of FWA

What happen when ATC messed Up?

I have been watching a lot of these pilot deviation videos. Seems to be a pattern lately with the type of pilot (and no, I don't mean female), I will just leave it at that.

Great controller

Please, use larger font size. Yours is unreadable on a phone.

I'm not sure. The ATC sounds very professional and kind, but I'm not certain if she should continue the flight. It seems like this pilot's physical and mental state is not prepared for the potentially high-risk flight ahead.

Yeah, by all means let’s her back up in the air!

"I can't fly anymore?" Controller: Hmm, now we have to deal with you driving. Ok, let's get you back in the air right away! lol

Im sorry but if there’s a flight anyone is careful and making sure they don’t mess up.. its their first solo. I don’t understand how people can let stuff like that happen and not only that… but not know until like 5 minutes later. Everyone makes mistakes I understand that, but in this specific situation it’s just wild.

I wouldn't let her fly without an instructor onboard.. period

How her instructor thought she was safe to be sent flying on her own is mind boggling. Lots of comments here by people saying "its just a mistake". WHAT! No comprehension of basic safety and clearly incapable of manoeuvring the aircraft on the ground let alone in the air. Couldn't even do a 180? When I heard "so I cant fly anymore" compounded her lack of knowledge and immaturity. Back to the classroom young lady.

Yet another person that should never be a pilot.

Soon to be a Captain of a red chinese airline.

She sounds drunk.

Nope. Don't care if it offends anybody. PROFICIENCY in English is the MINIMUM requirement.

Sounds like Captain We Too Low’s wife.

Whoever the CFI was who signed this woman off needs to be retrained and right quick. How can you be this unaware of your surroundings?!

I think she shouldn't fly anymore. Her instructor shouldn't instruct any more either.😡😡😡😡

Sounds Asian.

they drive the same

I bet she never uses her blinkers when she’s driving !

Future airline captain. Ain't DEI great!

When she said, "...I can't fly anymore?" He should have responded, "No ma'am you can't. I'm confident a long and enjoyable career in the fast food industry awaits you."

I'm not in the area but I'm uncomfortable flying right now knowing that she may be in the sky somewhere. Also, that radio needs to be fixed.

Melania Trump going to solo

Asian woman flying... wow this is scary.
