I've been doing literally over 100 hours of studying and watching videos and this is the first place I have ever seen talking about the difference between unicom, multicom, and CTAF. I never knew that the frequencies were specific and that the you could get info from the FBO on a unicom. Excellent video, keep up the great work!!!
Thanks! Yeah, even the pilots I know with thousands of hours don’t know the difference between all of them, but it’s actually kinda handy to know that 122.9 is a multicom because you can basically assume that there is no kind of service there, and if you know there’s no service at a field, the frequency is typically 122.9 because those are usually multicoms
At 13hours for my PPL and this has been one of the most intimidating topics for me. It already feels like there is "way too much" going on in and outside the airplane. However, I am determined to get it right and be safe. Also, the reminder to fly the plane first was good to hear. Thank you for this video!
Wow, this is my new favorite channel! Thank you for this, ATC comms really dismay me as to me it sounds like a string of unintelligible words. Keep up the great work!
@@philbrook6855 thanks man! Eventually, I would like to start a flight school, but it may be a couple years before I can have the time to get things completely set up
@@FreePilotTraining I plan on heading back to the states in 1 year or more... please keep us advised! Quick question, do you train students privately right now, if so, out of which airport? Id love to get my PPL from you sir.
Better be safe than sorry know such thing as clogging the radio when playing it safe better than air crash after run way taking off.. great mate thank you safe flying
Not to disagree, but what if someone is making calls ever 30 seconds and I need to speak up and tell someone to go around due to a hazard on the runway, but I’m unable to say anything because Joe blow is clogging the radios? I’ve seen A LOT of similar situations. It’s especially bad where new students are making unnecessary and unnecessarily long radio calls at small airports
Just wait until you do VFR flight following lol. I did a cross country a few days ago and they didn't have me change freq. until 2 miles from air port. Now I could have requested to switch freq. but I didn't think of that at the time....
An excellent instructional video in athat is easy to understand and remember. Good work, and also, a sincere thank you for the other informational/instructional videos you guys have been posting. Keep it up!
Great video! The examples (with great accents) are clutch. I have a question about taxiing around the airport.. I'm familiar with making calls for back taxiing, but I've never flown into an airport with 2 or more runways. At uncontrolled airports with paved taxiways and intersecting runways, what calls should I be making? IE: when crossing a runway??
You definitely need to make radio calls when you’re crossing an active runway. I recommend making a radio call any time you think you might be a conflict with someone else.
If i want to landing at airport and my altitude is 7000 ft and airport pattern altitude is 1000ft, when should i start to descend to traffic pattern altitude, before 10NM? 4:14
Good question. Try “Altitude to Lose x2.” You need to lose 6,000 feet and 6x2=12. 12 miles is ideal for a small trainer plane. For faster planes, you can use “Altitude to Lose x 3.”
i’m only a couple hours into my private training, having some issues remembering eveything to say, should i try writing it down on an ipad and saying it or is there a better way?
I have never been to the airport you mention, but I have been to a lot of airports in many places and I have never seen one with hangers that someone would be taxiing from. Does Vinita have a large laundry facility near aircraft parking?
Not that I know of. It’s more common than you think. I operate at another airport out of North Little Rock that has the same problem. You can’t see the main taxiway from some of the older hangers in back
@@FreePilotTraining I apologize, what I said was not clear. What I was getting at is that I think you mean hangars, with an "a", not hangers, with an "e". Hangars are used to store airplanes, hangers have no real use at an airport, except maybe inside a hangar.
When we call-Traffic, us different to Tower, by example - Vinita ground at the begining and at the end vinita - but in a tower controlled we must use - Vinita Tower at the begining and our airplane id at the end just last numbers- i am right?
“Vinita Traffic, Skyhawk 3148x, 10 miles south, MAKING A STRAIGHT IN for 36, Vinita.” Just be aware, the FAA does not recommend straight ins. Making a video on that in the next few months
NO WAY !!!! You’re in Oklahoma ? I’ve been hearing Vinita. on all your videos. But this time I just heard Grand Lake. So. I’m looking for an instructor. Starting ground school at Claremore Regional. Soon. Unless there’s a better place Is there a way to contact you ?
Do not agree giving circuit joining intentions 10 miles out..advise inbound or overflying airfield. Give circuit join intentions overhead field or when actually joining a leg.eg joining downwind for Rwy **
Great videos, although the made up voices and accents with your radio traffic is distracting to what you are trying to teach and throws me off what you are trying to say.
I like your videos but you lose me when your simulated radio calls get to that scratchy annoying point. That’s when I shut ‘er down. Just a regular voice would suffice. Thumbs down. 👎🏻
I'm at 7 hours into my training, and find these videos super helpful, please keep up the great work!
Awesome! Thanks Ed!
How's the training going?
I'm at 5 hours and find these videos beyond helpful. Especially to hear different perspectives or to hear things I missed while up in the air.
Bro the different voices had me crackin up man🤣🤣 especially the old guy Impersonation😅 oh my gosh
😂 thought I’d have some fun
@@FreePilotTraining that crap was too funny!

With only 5hrs atm under my belt. this helps so much. Thank you!
Take my thumbs up
I’ll take it! Thanks! Good luck out there!
thank you for these helpful videos! I am listening to this on repeat until my checkride! hope everyone is doing well today!
You’re welcome!
Reporting altitude is often left out many time. Good point to reinforce it. Thanks.
Yes, i forget it all the time. Lol you’re welcome!
Ive probably watched like 50 of these videos, and yours actually helped, THANKYOU!!!!
Awesome! You’re welcome!

No problem! Thanks for watching! I promise, you are in the same boat as every other student! One day you’ll wake up and it will just click
So helpful. Rare to find this detail anywhere! We have parachute activity at my home field and your voices are spot on for thier traffic....
Thanks! That means a lot
This tutotial was really helpful, I thought for a second I’ll hear Daffy duck response 😂. Overall all the classes are much appreciated, thanks a lot.
Love the voices. LOL Great Job over videos. Thumbs Up always.
😂 thank you!
Your videos are awesome 👏🏾 they helped me a lot I’m 20 hrs into my training.
Thank you so much! I’m hoping to make lots more!
Wow, this is my new favorite channel! Thank you for this, ATC comms really dismay me as to me it sounds like a string of unintelligible words. Keep up the great work!

a great refresher sir , thanks again
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
8:15 quote goes hard
It’s very true!
Man youbare heling me a ton!!! Thank you!!
Awesome! You’re welcome
Really liked this video. I think today I’m doing pattern work around an untowered airfield so this should be pertinent
Awesome! Yes, it should
Tanks for this video!
You’re welcome!
This channel is so underrated! Do you guys do flight instruction as well?
Thank you! I don’t do a lot of flight instruction for the time being because I fly a lot for the AF reserves
@@FreePilotTraining This is a pity, from your videos one can see you're a great instructor.

Lol. Yeah, they’ll do that sometimes. If you tell them you have the airport in sight, a lot of times they’ll tell you to switch

“Tough to make radio calls when your dead “☠️🤣True story.

Loved the "subscribe" ambush at 6:19 ...
and of course love the content ... keep squeaking errrr squawking !!!
😆 I figured that was the way to do it lol

Bro used the Herbert the pervert voice from Family Guy 💀
😆
when taxiing onto the runway do you say taking or taxiing onto, my instructors have said both so does it matter?
You can say either. I typically take “taking” unless I’m taxiing on the runway to go somewhere else to back taxiing
@@FreePilotTraining cool, thanks. talking on comms has been my downfall during flying lol, video helped A LOT!
i’m only a couple hours into my private training, having some issues remembering eveything to say, should i try writing it down on an ipad and saying it or is there a better way?
That’s a good way to start. I’d like to make a video on some tricks that will help you remember that stuff
@@FreePilotTraining thank you

What happens if you are flying straight in, in a runway? What should I say?
“Vinita Traffic, Skyhawk 3148x, 10 miles south, MAKING A STRAIGHT IN for 36, Vinita.” Just be aware, the FAA does not recommend straight ins. Making a video on that in the next few months

Well, I was in Oklahoma. I just moved to Alaska. I wish I could help you out! Feel free to email me at freepilottraining1@gmail.com

Is it me or was one of the voices Herbert the pervert from family guy 😂
@@Philbertbryan.w lol
Apparently Herbert the pervert from Family Guy is a Cherokee pilot lol
