@@slappymcgillicuddy7532 Yeah, I can understand using outdated navdata and not having a waypoint in your database, but not being able to follow vectors is nonsense.
Nah pilots fault by far, busy airspace you cant take the vector or route on published arrival then you need to disconnect. General rule once your experience starts to ruin other peoples experience then its time to disconnect and try again.
Considering the state in which UPS stuff usually arrives, I'm going to go on a limb here and say that landing was well within UPS safety standards. Good job PreggoTurtle69!
I worked at an FBO's receiving department one summer. Our standard was to have everything shipped FedEx unless the customer specified otherwise. We referred to UPS as "Unbreakable Parcel Service" after the day that we got a flight data recorder that arrived *broken* via UPS. (They broke the prongs off the power/data connector sockets; near as we could tell, two guys with forklifts had played soccer with the shipping case en route.)
@@GoldenEDM_2018 Man, you have *no* idea how much fun it is trying to RMA an FDR. "Right, so why do you want to return it?" "Arrived broken in shipment." "...what."
@@rdfox76 I imagine the conversation from there went a bit like, "you know they're supposed to survive a crash, right?" "Yeah man I know but idk what to tell you, it's broken"
Lets be honest… fedex arrives broken and/or late 60% of the time. Id rather have USPS delivery package than fedex to touch it Edit: better yet id rather have china post take care of my package over fedex … i really dont mean that china post blows
The "FFFFFF-UHHHHHH" That was pretty much every pilot in that area at that time trying to listen for their callsigns. LOL Yea, impressed with the guys running the ATC.
Back when I lived in LA, I loved seeing the double lines of lights in the sky that were all the jets making their approach into LAX. Thanks for bringing back a neat memory!
The professionalism is just on another level. The vectoring, the landing clearance and the taxi instructions all sounded real. well done to everyone involved
I never played any sim of this scale. But I will say seeing these videos and listening to the ATCs is actually the reason I’m currently saving for flight lessons because I may one day try and do this for my job for the rest of my life. Great videos and even though these are just games, very inspirational to keep pushing to get airborne irl. So thank you!
Always used to skip over the vatsim videos because I wrongly assumed they wouldn't be interesting. Amazed by the professionalism of all the controllers and other aircraft on comms. Great stuff man
This final approach looked like it was the real LAX traffic... A plane landing and taking off every 2 to 5 minutes... And the VATSIM ATC, great job on managing that traffic!
He did an A+ level LAX-should-hire-him-now job coordinating all of that traffic. He was very impressive. I wouldn't be surprised if he was using this sim for ATC training. I'm using it as part of ground school, so why not?
Always entertaining. Don’t know if you want any pointers but couple things I noticed. 1: Airline definition of a “Stabilized approach” is for you to be fully configured (Flaps & Gear) and on GS & LOC by 1000’ AGL. Then on speed by 500’. In case you wanted to dial in your procedures more. Usually we swing gear and start final configuration of Aircraft about 5mi from to hot those parameters every time. 2: Shut Down engines before turning off beacon. Beacon is used to let ground personal know when to approach aircraft to put in chocks and get ground power hooked up. They don’t want to approach the A/C till engines are winding down. Minor things but you seem to appreciate getting things accurate.
as an air traffic controller I can't imagine anyone who does this for their actual job, doing this in their spare time lmao it sounds pretty decent though phraseology-wise if it consists on non controllers/non pilots
Man, what are the odds. I work for UPS at PHX, so this was cool. Tip for more realism: UPS is on the opposite end of that building, you were parked in FedEx's area.
Well someone has to be. Working for UPS, you must know that your "competition", FedEx, probably sucks as at getting anywhere and actually utilizing their space.
@@Dyanosis Oh, they utilize the space alright, just not for jets. They just throw all their ULDs on the ramp, so on the off chance they do have a jet come in the jet blast throws their bullshit all over the place.
@@celestine5231 pilots make 6 figures to do the flights, ATC making 6 figures to manage the flights, haha. feels nice whenever flying to know your life is in the hands of people being paid a LOT for their job.
@@CharlieApples only cause the ATC crew are so exhausted after a shift lol they gotta be 100% on the ball non stop for hours on end, and the stakes are pretty damn high. Pilots have less power, you don't fuck with traffic unless you want to explain to management why you had to go around and join the back of the queue. Which is still better than having a friendly chat with the FAA
Not that its important, but when tower said "Clear to cargo via alpha, monitor ground." It means you're cleared and don't actually have to contact ground, you just have to change your frequency to ground in case they need you. But, nothing wrong with it if you still want to contact i guess.
As an airline guy I’ve always been fairly impressed with the mostly standard phraseology of those playing ATC. Of course a lot of the pilots in VATSIM I’ve seen also struggle with the basics but that’s to be expected. Seems like it be fun to try out.
Seeing the problem between the pilot and the ATC in the first minutes, I assume that missing navaids and incorrect approach/depart patterns is a regular occation if you are not running a paid Navigraph NavData with a matching SimBrief AIRAC cycle plan, and you are programming the whatever approach using the default msfs nav data. Assuming you don't have access to charts as well (didn't find any via Google Search and you don't have a navigraph chart sub), is this a regular thing that you'll get scoulded by the VATSIM ATC for calling out a missing nav point? The pilot had the wrong vibe going while calling out "unable", but I get their position.
You're probably right about the first part. But at least for any US flying, all up to date charts are publicly available (by the FAA, and hosted for easy use on skyvector for example) so not many excuses to have the wrong charts. Though I can see it becoming an issue if they don't have the right procedures loaded into the sim GPS/FMS which just having the up to date charts might not help with the actual procedure flying.
It depends, if someone doesn't have the latest STAR that's one thing, but if someone says they have ANJLL4 but are unable a point on that arrival that's questionable to me
Thank you for the laugh at the beginning. I don’t have any home internet at the moment after what was probably a tornado that rolled through my city and my cell service has been a bit spotty so it helped cheer me up a good bit.
@@Rmgtn It is a game technically, but It's more realistic than the typical arcade-style game and is used by actual aviators and ATC to sharpen their skills without going through the time and expense to do the real thing

Found out that if you say, “just want to confirm that you are refusing an ATC directive” they tend to cooperate real quick. My OM went directly to his company as soon as he heard me say that. Hehe ;)

Honestly I know Jack about airplanes and I started following for your personality and the memes but every time I watch a video like this wit you just flying I am just so locked to what I'm watching.
Not gonna lie, that landing in the 747 was pretty good even though you were below the glodeslipe a bit. Now I'm going to go mention a small trick I learned when landing the 747. When you're on approach, make sure you see three whites and one red on the PAPI lights. This is slight correction is for the 747 since the flightdeck is slightly elevated. I hope this could make future landing a little smoother! ;)
The IJN Musashi was the second of the two Yamato class battleships built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during world war Two. Unlike her Yamato counterpart Musashi lacked the 4 inch tertiary guns that the Yamato had and instead had 4 turrets of 6 Inch guns instead of only 2 like on the Yamato. Musashi also had less Anti Air guns than the Yamato, though she still had AA (Anti Air) guns, she had far less of them. Musashi and Yamato both supported 9 main guns (3 on 3 turrets) of 18 inch (460mm) diameter shells and 6 inch (155mm) secondary guns, though the Yamato only had 6 of these. The Musashi had a top speed of 27.5 knots and a range of 7,200 nautical miles at 16 knots. Musashi and Yamato were both powered by Kanpon Water-tube boilers with a total power 150,000 shp (Shaft Horsepower). While the Yamato was the more famous of these battleships, the Musashi was designed as the flagship of the IJN fleet. The Musashi happens to be my favorite battleship due to its sheer firepower and ability to withstand significant blows and still stay afloat, the Yamato however, does also have a lot of firepower too but it has slightly less due to it having less 6 inch secondary guns. Both Musashi and Yamato had 16 inch Armour covering the hull and several parts on the ship. Sadly the Musashi was sunk during the battle of Leyte Gulf on October 24th, 1944.
Another entertaining video with VATSIM. Ya, a little impatience on the departure, but cool ATC on arrival! Always great to see the airport lights at night! Great flight. Blue skies!
To whosoever reads this (including AFP95 himself...) thanks to all of your vids and comments I got into the Flight Sim community, I started flying Cessnas this week, hoping to do some commerical flights once I'm familiar w/everything regarding aviation. Thank you very much for your kindness in VATSIM. God bless!
The 208 is a good aircraft to fly at the beginning, it's pretty forgiving, built like a tank, and the stock version has a G1000. When you start with airliners, I'd strongly recommend the FlyByWire A32NX mod over the stock A320 as it allows you to pull a SimBrief flightplan right into the FMS. The Airbus is also really easy to learn how to fly and the autothrottle and autopilot systems are pretty quick to learn. I'd recommend P Gatcombs channel for quick vids on how to use both the G1000 and airliner systems.
TH-cam randomly showed me this video (I guess because I recently watched a MSFS video). I had no idea about there being a whole community of people acting as ATC operators and stuff, this is mind-blowing stuff for someone who just plays super casually on an Xbox gamepad lol. Great video!
It took my 3.5 years and COVID didn't help anything. If you want to be a controller, just apply and go through the process. You can back if if you change your mind.
I don't know what it is about AFP videos, like I never thought I would be interested in Flight Sim videos but damn man, every video is a delight to watch! Keep up the amazing content!
How does someone "learn" Flight Sim well enough to participate in server environments like this? I've never played but it seems rather interesting. Are there solid tutorials to go with?
@@chazmichaelmichaels88 You don't? And those "bunch of dorks" are the ones you just watched a video of. It's because of those "bunch of dorks" that you even know what this is like. So how about you watch how you talk about people.
A-rank: 1 Death An unnamed Colombian man in a white leisure suit, smoking a cigar with aviators on was shot multiple times in the chest in the cargo bay. A crate of powdered sugar was left unaccounted for once landing in LA. That however does not affect your rank. Nice flying captain 👍🏻
I live in Phoenix, and the cargo ramp's on the south side of the KPHX, along a section of I-10 and I-17. Can confirm UPS aircraft dry humping the warehouses is a thing.
Videos like these make me super excited for the opportunity I'm getting to learn to fly a small airplane next week. I can't wait! Thanks for the inspiration!
Big fan for many years here. Awesome video. Appreciate it. One friendly tip (sorry, admittedly pet peeve of mine), “Oh” is not a number. Zero is. So you were UPS Seven Zero Five. That said, thanks for the video! So glad I saw it!
Hahaha i love your short wierdness combined with being a pro! On top of that see your merch "gear up" made me burst into laugh XD Thats one way you dont want too see your UPS being delivered! XD
That's true to reality for LAX. According to one of the real ATCs (Later Tater), the inbound traffic can reach all the way to the state line. You can see a trail of lights that actually outline the glide slope on a clear night. It's nuts.

I can definitely see the benefit of having a copilot to help with the checklist
Honestly I know Jack about airplanes and I started following for your personality and the memes but every time I watch a video like this wit you just flying I am just so locked to what I'm watching.
You should fly in Europe, we're cool.
Not gonna lie, that landing in the 747 was pretty good even though you were below the glodeslipe a bit. Now I'm going to go mention a small trick I learned when landing the 747. When you're on approach, make sure you see three whites and one red on the PAPI lights. This is slight correction is for the 747 since the flightdeck is slightly elevated. I hope this could make future landing a little smoother! ;)
The IJN Musashi was the second of the two Yamato class battleships built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during world war Two. Unlike her Yamato counterpart Musashi lacked the 4 inch tertiary guns that the Yamato had and instead had 4 turrets of 6 Inch guns instead of only 2 like on the Yamato. Musashi also had less Anti Air guns than the Yamato, though she still had AA (Anti Air) guns, she had far less of them. Musashi and Yamato both supported 9 main guns (3 on 3 turrets) of 18 inch (460mm) diameter shells and 6 inch (155mm) secondary guns, though the Yamato only had 6 of these. The Musashi had a top speed of 27.5 knots and a range of 7,200 nautical miles at 16 knots. Musashi and Yamato were both powered by Kanpon Water-tube boilers with a total power 150,000 shp (Shaft Horsepower). While the Yamato was the more famous of these battleships, the Musashi was designed as the flagship of the IJN fleet. The Musashi happens to be my favorite battleship due to its sheer firepower and ability to withstand significant blows and still stay afloat, the Yamato however, does also have a lot of firepower too but it has slightly less due to it having less 6 inch secondary guns. Both Musashi and Yamato had 16 inch Armour covering the hull and several parts on the ship. Sadly the Musashi was sunk during the battle of Leyte Gulf on October 24th, 1944.
Another entertaining video with VATSIM. Ya, a little impatience on the departure, but cool ATC on arrival! Always great to see the airport lights at night! Great flight. Blue skies!
To whosoever reads this (including AFP95 himself...) thanks to all of your vids and comments I got into the Flight Sim community, I started flying Cessnas this week, hoping to do some commerical flights once I'm familiar w/everything regarding aviation.
Thank you very much for your kindness in VATSIM. God bless!
The 208 is a good aircraft to fly at the beginning, it's pretty forgiving, built like a tank, and the stock version has a G1000. When you start with airliners, I'd strongly recommend the FlyByWire A32NX mod over the stock A320 as it allows you to pull a SimBrief flightplan right into the FMS. The Airbus is also really easy to learn how to fly and the autothrottle and autopilot systems are pretty quick to learn. I'd recommend P Gatcombs channel for quick vids on how to use both the G1000 and airliner systems.
2:16 "we're on a quick cocaine run- i mean cargo run"
I can't stop laughing at that
Loving the Microsoft Fruit Simulator content as usual
TH-cam randomly showed me this video (I guess because I recently watched a MSFS video). I had no idea about there being a whole community of people acting as ATC operators and stuff, this is mind-blowing stuff for someone who just plays super casually on an Xbox gamepad lol. Great video!
I wish it was actually possible to join as an ATC but the waiting lists are literally years long
It took my 3.5 years and COVID didn't help anything. If you want to be a controller, just apply and go through the process. You can back if if you change your mind.
Good to see you around. Enjoy the fun messing around videos.
AFP95 hates Slew mode and Slew mode hates him
AFP95 isn't just hearing beef
He's having beef with the slew mode
How do you activate slew mode , if you don’t mind me asking?
Slew in MSFS is pretty janky, in all fairness
@@kyle734 you have to assign a command
Worst. Haiku. Ever.
@@bigmo611 I didn't expect myself making a haiku
I don't know what it is about AFP videos, like I never thought I would be interested in Flight Sim videos but damn man, every video is a delight to watch! Keep up the amazing content!
“Quick Cocain- sorry cargo run”
dude that was cool. I have a friend who loves MFS but i never knew it was this realistic among its player base. Super cool
So you're the reason my virtual UPS package was absolutely smashed to hell...
You owe me a new imaginary Hunky Hector Mexican Love Doll. >:(
Professionalism & hilarity. Spawned truck @90mph LOLOLOL how did I miss this channel. SUBSCRIBED.
Man i wish the old trolling stuff was back
I am glad you nailed your "glodeslipe" mister Airforceproud.
How does someone "learn" Flight Sim well enough to participate in server environments like this? I've never played but it seems rather interesting. Are there solid tutorials to go with?
I think you literally just have to know how to be a pilot lmao
I was thinking the same thing. I don't want to try it out and have a bunch of dorks talking shit.
@@chazmichaelmichaels88 You don't? And those "bunch of dorks" are the ones you just watched a video of. It's because of those "bunch of dorks" that you even know what this is like. So how about you watch how you talk about people.
@@Dyanosis msfs videos have been on the internet for years and years, I give zero credit to these "dorks".
A-rank: 1 Death
An unnamed Colombian man in a white leisure suit, smoking a cigar with aviators on was shot multiple times in the chest in the cargo bay. A crate of powdered sugar was left unaccounted for once landing in LA. That however does not affect your rank.
Nice flying captain 👍🏻
Good job holding that licalozer and glodeslipe. Solid job!
This is incredible, how do you get into this?
@@WizardFrogASMR lmao does everyone at airline school play this I take it?
@@-BL1NKY probably i mean sh its a good way to make sure yk what u doing
@@-BL1NKY Check out the various vatsim communities and flying groups.
That was some insane comms from everyone on the net. Man I love simulators like this.
No high speed hot air balloon fly bys? Meh 😕 sad
I live in Phoenix, and the cargo ramp's on the south side of the KPHX, along a section of I-10 and I-17. Can confirm UPS aircraft dry humping the warehouses is a thing.
Microsoft fruit simulator looks fricking good
Videos like these make me super excited for the opportunity I'm getting to learn to fly a small airplane next week. I can't wait! Thanks for the inspiration!
It’s about time for another weird/mean comment video NOW!
This is the only game that I could watch for hours. Especially when everyone works together. Great video.
Hi
Hi
@@Airforceproud95 hi
@@Airforceproud95 nice vids (:
Hats off to the LA control they rocked it
I bet ATC controllers wish they had that power. “You can fly heading 040 or disconnect, your choice.”
Big fan for many years here. Awesome video. Appreciate it. One friendly tip (sorry, admittedly pet peeve of mine), “Oh” is not a number. Zero is. So you were UPS Seven Zero Five. That said, thanks for the video! So glad I saw it!
Hahaha i love your short wierdness combined with being a pro! On top of that see your merch "gear up" made me burst into laugh XD Thats one way you dont want too see your UPS being delivered! XD
That's true to reality for LAX. According to one of the real ATCs (Later Tater), the inbound traffic can reach all the way to the state line. You can see a trail of lights that actually outline the glide slope on a clear night. It's nuts.
Ah man, definitely one of my favorite youtubers is back with another great one! Keep em coming! Gear up!
Great video bro awsome professionalism from the ATC, i could watch this all day!
I love listening to this argument and having no idea who’s in the wrong
