great video. Makes things very clear! One note for local pilots- i flew out of KDVT a couple weeks ago, got a SUPER early frequency change, and called while at about 2400'. The communication with phoenix approach was garbled, and I got a snippy "don't call till you're over 3000'". I eventually got the transition clearance, of course. So better to wait until you are above that altitude.
Great video for letting people know there are ways to cross the Bravo! I would emphasize the part where you review your particular Bravo transition procedures ahead of time and take notes as many of them have different procedures. For example, here in SoCal, the LAX transition has some shortcuts, special sqawk codes and altitudes dependent on direction of transistion--all designed to lessen the workload on SoCal App/Dep and LAX ATC controllers. Also a second shout-out to ARSim Plane English--my CFI noticed the difference after I started going through a few sessions. After I get my PPL I'll be commuting from SoCal to PHX regularly so I pay close attention to your content. :) Keep up the great videos, FWTG!
Thanks for your comment! I believe LAX transition has a special corridor that you can fly without contacting approach, which is what I think your referring to. I've heard about it, but never looked it up.
For a troglodyte like me sound very overwhelming, but , i will put al my mjnd in to it. Again and again, thank you for sharing. At list i start ( I can’t take enough) with the Microsoft flight simulator and got a decent yoke to do little “ practice “ . Mind blowing.
When I did the Bravo transition they gave us names of mountains and other landmarks to flyover making it a lot more difficult. I wish it could have been as smooth as this.
We have a bunch more. One on each type of airspace too! Check them out over on the channel page. - th-cam.com/play/PLjNuX1oAEWKndEDXOXI1b6OuVclAmRyGr.html
One thing I’ve seen pilots do in similar videos is to write “Cleared through Bravo” in their scratchpad, and circle it when they get cleared. It’s better to add that item to your checklist rather than getting a number to copy.
There’s 5 ways of getting from one side of bravo to the other. Only 2 of them require talking to controllers. Go around Bravo Go under Bravo Go through Bravo (clearance required) Go IFR (clearance required)
Compared to the one grump who works in the tower of my home Class D, working with the Bravo controllers is a breeze. They're friendly, professional, and helpful. Unlike Mr. Grumpy.
It was just an O2 tank that Joe has. The pieces that made up this flight were from a longer flight we did where we touched all classes of airspace. We were descending down from 18K just before we made the initial call, and I hadn't taken my 02 off yet.
Actually looking forward to the _Landing in Airspace Bravo_ video .. once again, great stuff you got going here!!
I'm writing that one today. Hopefully I have time to get it out this week.
great video. Makes things very clear!

Great tip! I would say that some of their radios are not the best. I couldn't talk with ground when on the ground...

Nice! Always good to review before you go, especially if its been awhile.
Indeed!
☑️👍Yea! Always clear and concise information, tks Carl.
You bet!
First time flying the San Francisco Bay tour this weekend, also my first bravo transition. Thanks for the video!
Good luck! Hopefully this video helped!

Very helpful! Thanks for making this!
No problem. I just rewatched it myself. It's been a while!
Great educational video! I like you shirt LOL
Thank you 🤗
Great insight and information as always!
Much appreciated!

I've had that out of class C before. Things that were common to people flying regularly in and out of the airport, but not on the sectional or TAC.
Greetings from Dallas Texas. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching and welcome!
I teach English and give ATC online practices for foreing pilot and i ask them to watch this video. Thank you

Love the Mincecraft touch. :) So... if there is Bravo air space, is there Alpha, Delta, Gamma, etc? Asking for a non-pilot friend.
Yep! There is class B C D E G and A. In fact, on the flight we recorded this one we hit all of them. 😀
Thumbs up for that t-shirt.
I need to get a new one. This one is nearly 5 years old. Like when he first started offering shirts.
Nice work buddy. Lots of good info.
Thanks 👍

Great advice!
Thank you. Great content.
Thank you!
Thank you for this information from iraq
No problem.

True!
3:13 Hi, What’s mean 5 out zero after squawk?
Compared to the one grump who works in the tower of my home Class D, working with the Bravo controllers is a breeze. They're friendly, professional, and helpful. Unlike Mr. Grumpy.
I think every tower has one of those. Our area referred to one controller as the dragon lady.
Did controller really say cleared through Bravo? too fast to hear it
Yes, or some variation of that. Unlike C and D where they just have to make positive contact with you, they have to clear you into their airspace.
I see you were using oxygen in one the clips. Did you purchase that or was that provided by the aircraft?
It was just an O2 tank that Joe has. The pieces that made up this flight were from a longer flight we did where we touched all classes of airspace. We were descending down from 18K just before we made the initial call, and I hadn't taken my 02 off yet.
@@flywiththeguys that makes sense. Thanks for the information.
Hey! What made you pick N50637 as the thumbnail? Have you flown that plane?
I’ve flown in it as a passenger. Took some pictures of it. Just happened to be perfect for the thumbnail! Have you flown it?
@@flywiththeguys yes! I used to fly it. I worked for Cutter that owned it! It was a sweet ride.
I was so new to aviation when I was in it that I didn’t know too much about it. Just saw all the screens in it and it blew my mind.
I'm sorry but what does Bravo mean again?
It's an Airspace. =) - th-cam.com/video/T83c6MYztd4/w-d-xo.html
@@flywiththeguys Thanks ,Do you know anyone having trouble reading the Altmeter, ie 100s thousands, 10k ? It is confusing as hell.
