With a little over 50 hours of flight training, I received an endorsement to fly solo from Livermore to Hollister to Castle and back to Livermore! Hop in as I travel over 150 nautical miles in 2.5 hours :)

Excellent radio calls video! Will be watching again and again 👍🏻

@alexanderyordanopoulos2430 Год назад

Love your radio calls, great flying!

@VanshajFlies Год назад

thanks, and thanks for watching!

What practice did you do in order to get your radio calls out so smoothly?

@VanshajFlies Месяц назад

for cross country flights, i would sometimes replay flights in my head after lessons and think about what kind of radio calls i'd encountered. in addition, i was quite into listening to LiveATC streams at the time, so even though the calls themselves didn't apply to me (i'm not flying a 737 after all), it helped to listen to radio etiquette and gain confidence in how to structure my own calls 🙂

Great radio calls, btw what ipad and ipad mount do you use ?

@VanshajFlies 10 месяцев назад

thanks, i use an ipad mini with a RAM tab-tite yoke clamp. it's served me pretty well across various aircraft (at this time i've flown 172s, 182s, pa28s, and m20s and the mount fits on all those yokes just fine).

awesome flight man, i fly in norcal too out of sac exec with around 50 hours. doing my solo xc this week. any tips with the radios? i find myself freezing up or fumbling my words even though i know what i want to say lol thanks!

@VanshajFlies Год назад

hope your solo xc went great :) for the radios, i often rehearse what i'm going to say 2-3 times before saying it -- it helps a great deal, but sometimes i still find myself blanking or fumbling (even now that i'm a private pilot). the most important thing to remember is that ATC is there to help you, not judge you -- if you freeze, it's totally fine to start over or repeat yourself!

@ryan Did you do your training at exec? If so, ATP or Advanced Aviation?

@Michaelkaerager 9 месяцев назад

Awesome radio skills!

@VanshajFlies 8 месяцев назад

thank you!

@ImaadG Год назад

I go to ATP Flight school in Livermore we should definitely fly together!

@VanshajFlies Год назад

sounds fun! i wonder if we've heard each other on the radios, haha

@peterkim2638 4 месяца назад

how are you getting the radio recording as stereo? Mine only records in mono using GoPro audio adapter. Very smooth and easy ATC communications. did you get your PPL by now?

@dgillphotos 3 месяца назад

Not sure. You can make it stereo in post - let em know if you need help.

@VanshajFlies Месяц назад

i'll have to check again if mine was recording in mono, but if it wasn't, then i must've converted it to stereo in post. works pretty decently as there wouldn't really be a difference in the two channels anyway. and yes, i've gotten my PPL! haven't been flying much this year but hoping to get back to it soon 🤞

@dgillphotos 3 месяца назад

Work it!

@xrey83 Год назад

ATC probably not used to people specifying the model. Cessna 172 or skyhawk would suffice.

@VanshajFlies Год назад

correct, ATC (generally) doesn't differentiate between different years/models of the same type of aircraft. however, i think you're referring to me identifying my aircraft as a 172/G -- the /G is the equipment code indicating that i have a GPS system (with certain capabilities) on board :) typically, when making a VFR request, it's good practice to inform the controller what equipment you have on board, so that they know what kind of instructions you can follow -- especially in busy airspace like norcal/socal.

@xrey83 Год назад

@@VanshajFlies I've never heard that before. As long as you have Mode C transponder that's all they really care. They make the same instructions whether or not you have a GPS system I would think. Can you give me an example of what extra instructions they would give you for having a GPS system?

@xactlyzach03 Год назад

Which yoke mount are you using? And is that an iPad mini?

@VanshajFlies Год назад

hey! i'm using the RAM Tab-Tite Yoke Clamp Mount (rammount.com/products/ram-b-121-tab2u). and yes, that's an ipad mini -- i've found it to be far less space-intrusive than the ipad air.

@kenmonroe2474 Год назад

@@VanshajFlies the reason I asked which software you used was this, I noticed when you were listening to atis you were writing things down on your ForeFlight app, and would looked to be a pre-fill-in type page which I don’t see on my ForeFlight app, is that something that comes with ForeFlight, or did you have to download a special page for that? Thanks!

@VanshajFlies Год назад

@@kenmonroe2474 yep, as evan said, if you go to the scratchpads tab and hit +, there should be a few template options! ATIS is one of them, there's also templates for CRAFT and PIREP among other things.
