5 Most Disturbing Air Traffic Control Conversations
In this video, a student pilot gets left alone when his instructor passes out, a pilot falls asleep while flying solo, 370 passengers get trapped above the clouds, and more.
Watch and listen to the best air traffic control conversations from my previous air traffic control episodes!

War Thunder has spyware and keyboard loggers. You should look for a new sponsor.
No definitely not.
"I hope they don't think I'm paying for this flight, sorry to say." killed me bro.
Lol, in truth, that flight was a lesson you can't master in a class room Worth its weight in gold!
Yeah that was a one liner 😂
Lol, and I don't think he was even joking. He was pissed off being in that situation.
Love the controllers response as well 😂
And not a thought about the wellbeing of the instructor. WTF.
It's honestly kinda heartwarming how the Tower changed her voice instantly when she heard that Maggie was a solo student pilot. From the normal ATC voice to a much more friendly and calmer voice to keep Maggies cool and make her feel as safe as they can. And all the other instructors chiming in to help her out with advice and words of encouragement, honestly this is how it should be.
She went from ATC to Mom in a heartbeat. Freaking legendary!
That got me in the feels. Poor kid.
@@abbycross90210 if I'm not mistaken she ended up buying that plane and making it her bitch. So it's all good.
Crazy that someone could successfully land a plane with ZERO flying experience. That must've been one hell of an instructor talking him down.
Actually these planes are easier to fly than a car. Any average joe could fly and put one down with zero training.
@@ASDasdSDsadASD-nc7lfbecause cars don't fly
@@ASDasdSDsadASD-nc7lf With the caveat that "any landing you walk away from, is a good landing". But yeah, the little ones are kind of idiot proof, if you can drive you'll likely be fine*.
On the other hand whenever I see in films a noob fly like a 787 it's so unreal. That thing is as close to a spacecraft as the cesna is to a car. :D
Personally, I really appreciate how much clearer Darren's radio comms became as time went on. Sure, communicate may be the last of the three key components of flying, but it's still a key component.
He sounded like he had some kind of familiarity with what he was supposed to be doing. Maybe not a whole lot, but even knowing that he should start talking to air traffic control immediately instead of just panicking means quite a bit. Combine that with the fact that ATC probably takes some of their lingo for granted. Being able to follow instructions in something so unfamiliar to him requires some level of awareness that came from somewhere.
When you have an Australian controller, somehow things don't seem so bad.
Any good accent probably.
Wow I'm impressed with both the controller and the student. Such an amazing job on both sides and even time to crack some jokes. I hope the instructor recovers completely from his tumor. Ok, both of the first stories.
He did fully recover, even permitted to fly again! :)
@EvilApple818 that's awesome news right there, really glad he's doing better and back to flying 💪🏽😎🧡
hearing the fear in Maggie's voice killed me but now she definitely earned the callsign
you could tell in her voice she was scared as f
@@matthewlee9342 anyone would be
This guys a LEGEND. Has a dying instructor next to him and he says “I hope they know I’m not paying for this flight.” 😂 I hope the instructor was ok 🙏🏻
they said the instructor was ok turned out to have a brain tumor
I heard that the instructor got recently permitted to fly again
Incredibly unlikely after a brain tumour and a seizure. In most countries you're looking at 2 years to drive a car after they reckon your not going to have anymore. 7 years to drive a lorry, 10 years to drive as a cab driver never mind fly a plane.@@Axl__untitled
Legendary schmuck.
@@Axl__untitledI hope that's true. Felt awful for him.
The moment John can on the air, Maggie became so much calmer. John you must be an amazing instructor.
INSTANTLY calmed her down.
Student pilot: how people should handle an emergency. Calm, cool and collected
Solo pilot: how most people handle emergency. A little freak out and handle the emergency
Passenger landing: how gen X handles an emergency. Get me some instruction or I’m gonna figure it out myself. 😂
Obviously joking. They all demonstrated amazing skill, talent and the ability to follow instructions. And a huge shout out to ATC who all must have stomach ulcers after 6 months of work.
As a Gen X myself, you are absolutely correct!!
Everyone did great! So glad to hear that they all had great endings. Except the brain tumor. That sucks 😕
For real. The first ATC guy was amazing at instructing the student. They made a fantastic team work.
Wow student did remarkable getting plane down..he saved both his instructors life and his own, however the ATC guy was sooo awesome too. He was soo supportive and patient. Good work by all!!!
"Do you know what a transponder is?"
"Yeah I do"
"What's the reading on the transponder?"
"The reading is nose down"
That's when ATC figured out he couldn't give anything for granted.
I don't understand what that meant. Was it bad?
@@dylanbowar3460a transponder would only show numbers.
So him replying saying it says "Nose Down" means he in fact did not know what a transponder was
yep, I use it to open the doors at my workplace...
13:50 Tower: "..your right main is now missing from the airplane....Say your intentions."
Me "I intend to **** my pants."
16:07 Interesting how her voice changes from very shaky to normal when the instructor appears. Then starts doing things for herself without prompting, which shows the right sort of mentality. Just 5 days later she was back in the cockpit. Cool...
The second one just breaks my heart to hear the fear in her voice.
"I cant hear you very well, I'm gonna decrease my engine so I can hear you better." made me laugh, lol
Like a drive thru 😂
Prop powered planes are noisy, so throttling down is 100% a logical move.
"The transponder is showing nose down," HELP!
most impressed that a couple of normal people managed to land a cessna successfully with absolutely no experience.
credit to them and the people that were helping them fly blind
I’m impressed too. I hate that aircraft. It’s so heavy on the controls.
The Cessna is quite easy to land.
It's a self-levelling, slow aircraft with an even slower stall speed. If you stall it at 10ft, you're hitting the ground at around 2G (you and the plane will react as if you weighed twice as much as your mass) and the gear might break. You'll then be in the equivalent of a sledge, sliding on concrete after the grass hill ran out. Scary, but you're not getting hurt beyond a sprain unless you hit something solid that stops you abruptly, which runways are typically devoid of. Provided you can get the aircraft flying low, fairly slow, and along the centreline, you can deadstick and pull out power. Once the plane touches down, cut throttle completely and gently apply both the toe brakes and elevators. The elevator helps prevent the weight shifting too far forward, and increases your overall downforce through the tires thereby increasing braking force.
If you get disoriented in a high-wing aircraft while in a cloud, and feel like you're pitching and/or rolling, just let go of the controls and the plane will level itself off.
Edit: autocorrect typos I missed on my first proof read.
In short, doing the right thing is easy, but knowing what the right thing to do in an aircraft with a specific wing-design is, that part isn't as easy.
The important element is that when you release the yoke, the aircraft levels in both pitch AND roll at ALL operating speeds, even during subcritical stall.
It's heavy because you're having to fight the wings desire to fly straight and level every time you apply the yoke. That righting motion inherent to the wing placement doesn't go away when you deflect the ailerons and elevators, and the equal and opposite resistance is felt by the pilot in the flight control interfaces, primarily the yoke.
Didn't expect to hear Maggie's flight in this one, heard it a few months back and hearing her first few responses made me tear up. Hearing it a second time ... still a lump in my throat. Listening to her come to grips with the situation and getting her composure and confidence back with the help of the flight instructor was moving and inspirational. Nothing but praise for this young lady.
Damn, the okay from Maggie really touched my heart…
I know exactly what you mean…
She was terrified...sounded like she was ready to cry but kept it together!
having a daughter, Maggie's scared little voice really hit me hard.
It really was so sweet, she must have been petrified. She did an amazing job.
11:20 amazing job by the controller helping the student to land!
True👍
I wish I had a John in my head every time I stepped out of my house. Ok Val….everything is gonna be fine. We’re just gonna walk to the corner and we’re gonna cross the street. You’re doing a good job….etc,
How about the voice of Bill Murray as Bob Wiley "Baby Steps..Baby Steps..Baby Steps.." 🤣🤣
Movie: 1991 What about Bob
not gonna lie, him saying "you're doing great" did something for my self esteem 😂
You can always be your own john, or imagine john. Neat lil therapist trick.
I'm a CFI, instructor John sounds like Howard Stern, a vocal doppelganger. Good job, Maggie went from scared to confident. John was calm and cool and gave his confidence to Maggie.
You could really tell the difference in her voice once John came on. He sounds like a great instructor. You were exactly right. His confidence gave her confidence.
I thought he sounded like Alan Alda
I thought the same thing!! Sounded just like Howard!!
The last one with 777 computer failure air traffic control miss reported 270 passengers onboard to fire and rescue. 370 were actually onboard. In a crash that would have made a difference.
"soooo... When are we gonna get me on the ground then?". LOL
Every time I see the flight with Maggie I almost cry when I hear her voice 😅😭
Don't worry you're not the only one :D
'okay'
but she did compose herself well and landed the plane with one wheel
well done
@@realdjoffski7201 "Any landing that you walk away from is a good landing. If the airplane is usable afterwards, it is an excellent landing!"
I am the youngest of my mothers 3 boys, have spent time in a war zone, served 6yrs honorably in Army Active Duty(arcft Electrician, non-combat role to be clear), been the first vehicle to 3 single car accidents and helped the occupants until EMS could respond, been present for 3 of my children's births...I feel confident that my "Man Card" will stay intact by saying that all involved in this video experienced more stress than I have my whole life, in just these single incidents. My heart sinks, and my eye's gloss over, and I get abit of sniffles everytime I hear Maggie's ATC. Even after hearing Maggie's recording probably 20 times and knowing she not only landed safely but also got back into the pilots seat...it truely is a testament to how much someone can overcome if they continue to push forward...
I teared up for sure! And the first person Maggie was talking to, her voice changed completely when she learned it was a student solo, it really got to me too
14:21 she sounds so nervous but she was able to land, m she will have an amazing airline career
ATC must be a pilot bc he was amazing at helping this guy! Both stayed calm and focused. Awesome job
Good Golly! Who worked on Maggie's airplane???
Her ex-technician, of course....
7:49 *Either tower controller was a pilot and EMT in a prior life or they actually train their people the right way!*
He is really amazing.
His first flight was his first solo 😂
That first little OK from Maggie, awwww you'll be ok sweetie don't worry we'll get you down safe.
Absolutely terrifying...each situation! Passengers landing...extraordinary...Air India pilots...fabulous! Just a great job by all!
It is powerful how one persons calm can affect another. Think how many times we have received or doled out impatience in everyday life and seen negative (emotional or logistical) outcomes. So much going on here that is good/right. Wow.
it is insane to me that i can talk to my buddy on the other side of the world with crystal clear audio and here where hundreds and thousands of lifes hang in the balance they use like WW2 radios! what the actual F!
Neither of you are moving.
@@redbullwife1 he was on a highspeed train in japan while i was driving on the german autobahn, we where both going plenty fast. i can tell you that much. lol
@@tomduke1297 Cell tower reception is not good or sometimes unreachable in the air.
Imagine thinking cell towers work the same that far up in the air.
Much respect to the students, the passengers and Flydoc. Its amazing how well they all did and how Flydoc wouldn't abandon DQP. I love how aviators and sailors will assist whenever something goes wrong to someone else.
@13:57 'Say your intentions'. "Find a much better aviation tech, after I beat the snot out of the last one....".
😂😂😂
Whats wrong with asking intentions?
@@Admiral_Jezzanobody said there was sth wrong
That first guy will be a GREAT PILOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Incredible how calm and relaxed he was....
Well done Maggie. 17 years old? When I was 17 I could barely tie my own shoe laces 😂
And here I am, a 14 year old flying planes for fun in msfs thinking anyone can do it easily.
@@DjMass89really? 👌👏
@@DjMass89 ofc anyone can learn with money and time.
Except for the real dumb people who shouldn't even be driving bicycles. lolol
OK that last one. A foreign pilot, with THAT accent, flying into New York, In a passenger jet, with no visibility, no landing assistance and on Sept 11 of all days?! OMG I'm sorry but WTF. That's some bad luck!
Nothing fazes the aussies! That lad held his own and didn't go into 'panicking skywalker' mode.
And the other fella landing with zero experience...he deserves a beer 😊
Maggie just needed to hear a voice she trusted, someone who knew her and her plane. You can tell as soon as John came on you can hear the relief start to take over and she calmed down a lot. It would for sure be a stressful situation because it wasn’t something she could have controlled or seen happen.
How lucky was the second student that a pilot saw her lose a wheel. ATC are brilliant at keeping calm.
The first story... god i want to have the strengh and serenity of those two men in my life!
All i can say is WOW for everyone involved in these cases.
That air India flight was handled so well by everyone involved. It really embodies the instructions to Aviate, Navigate, Communicate in that order. I hope the pilots got time to decompress before their next flight.
The first story actually brings tears to my eyes ! That is definitely not easy to do !
Me too!
36:50 the pilot is so out of it he wants tgt his orig destination. Lack of oxygen to the brain maybe? Wow. ATC were cool calm and collected. Good job.
Yes, most likely hypoxia. It's why the first instructions to the other pilot once he was raised on the radio was "Oxygen, Oxygen, Oxygen". Considering he was awake and responding to the other plane's movements, but well past hot landing destination, but thinking he was still on his way to it. They got him on oxygen and "insisted" he land. They definitely wanted to get him checked over.
Edit: until I got to the time stamp I was expecting to cringe with the Kalitta66 hypoxia clip
I might be wrong, but the JFK Controller sure sounded like Kennedy Steve.
Yep! That was Kennedy Steve for sure!
That's the only time I have heard his voice become helpless feeling...otherwise he seems to either be angry or comedic.
25:00 The guy actually replied with 10-4 😂
All that says is he is familiar with radio speak. Considering he had no experience... Better than nothing.
28:32 "You just witnessed a couple of passengers land that plane."
Have you landed a plane before?
No
Oh don't worry, it'll be fine!
When the ATC says, "What is your transponder reading," what information was he requesting?
The student pilot responded with "Reading nose down," which gave me a red flag that he might not have given the correct information.
Transponder is used to give information to ATC about an airplane's location in space and in most cases its altitude as well. I'm pretty positive it will always be a 4 digit number to help ID an aircraft.
@@jakeglidden2380 so the ATC was asking for that 4 digit number?
@@Jet_Fox Yes. If you aren’t familiar with the aircraft it can be hard to find let alone know where to begin look.
@@jakeglidden2380 thanks for letting me know!
Kudos to the pilot, for his 1st lesson, although you can hear some stress and panic in his voice, he held up really well. Hope the instructor was ok after.
Be very impressed...normally ATC doesn't ever do that bc they aren't pilots, so he was in luck
Can you imagine if the other pilot didn't see her lose the wheel? So many awesome people involved.
What an absolutely wonderful ATC. Incredibly patient, calming and encouraging. A hero.
I lave how Maggie's instructor sounds exactly like Howard Stern.
the first guy in a 152 is amazing.his voice is calm even though hes never solo'd.i hope his instructor got brain surgery and is ok.put ur hands together for this boy!!!
Instructor recovered
the first one almost made me cry. amazing
The first ATC did an amazing job. Hats off.
ATC on an 11/10 on the first bit
All bits great work, ya'll
Absolutely amazing!! Well done!!
"I'm feeling fine" yeah just took a good nap.
Great video, one of your very best!
WTF.....That was brilliant, down, dow,n down, little bit more power, ......Thx Lucaas.
ATC professionalism at its peak 😎
The Air India pilot was fantastic and sounded so confident and knew exactly what he was saying and doing.
The 777 at the end is an oil tanker with 72000kg of fuel onboard😊
Great video !! Kind of long but still a great video ! Thanks from Fort Worth Texas USA !
I can assure you, the first student pilot profiled did NOT continue the "next week working on his commercial rating"! Not after stating he was still a student private. Someone missed some info somewhere.
The first ATC guy in the Air India incident was Kennedy Steve. He's cool and very funny.
I assumed it just meant that was his ultimate goal with learning to fly
@omalleycaboose5937 Read what I said again: the voxer said "next week", after *just* telling us that was his 3rd lesson. You need a minimum of 40 hours to even solo for private certification.
Great video, love this, let's do more!!
Who ever named that plane DQP…. Why ? That conversation drove me nuts, hearing Delta Quebec Papa 700 times lol
11:57 the pilot AND the controller were both AMAZING!! ❤❤❤
Good man. "If they make you pay for it ill pay for it with my own wallet."
Just out of curiosity, well ...... both general and commercial aviation you always hear ATC or the pilot of the aircraft state they need to "contact company" for whatever issue might arise.....what do they mean by that?
The company owning the aircraft is usually aware of where the flights are going, how much fuel they have and so forth
Thank-you for this video!
holy shit im crying for maggie
These students sound so young and afraid yet they keep it together to get the plane down safely. The guy who just jumped in the cockpit cause the pilot was out is even more amazing that he could get it down at all
I love your videos
Great video :)
Lmao the first ATC guy who said hed pay for the leason himself, that was so wholesome, he did such an incredible job of keeping dude calm and focused on the task at hand. That guy deserves a raise
EXCELLENT Job student pilot Max....and the air traffic controller !! Great job by both of you !
17 sounds so incredibly young to be flying alone
Awesome video 👍
❤❤❤ Well done as always!!❤❤❤
These air traffic controllers are absolutely amazing. Wow. This is really inspiring. Commented for first two situations.
The landing that these people are performing are amazing given their experience level. Air traffic controllers I salute you. Kudos.
Max was impressed & unflappably…. A great pilot in the making. ❤❤❤
14:20 She was so scared yet she did a great job.
I have wanted a Caravan ever since I saw it happen.🛩
I want a CriCri lol.
So calm
Very inspirational story!
Was that Kennedy Steve at JFK? It sure sounded like him.
It sure was!
So Basically this Was His Actuall IN- LIFE Tutorial!😂
Bravo to them both so so calm and confident 👏 🙌 ❤❤
Big pucker factor!!!..great job!!
That Aussie pilot in the first story is sooo cool-headed!! And the ground controller.
I could not have imagined what would have happened if this happened on my first training flight. I started flying lessons on my 14th birthday and I can tell you I don’t think there was any way I could have done this on my first flight
To be fair, you were 14!! I was working on my Scout Aviation merit badge at 14, and if my counselor had passed out on me, that old Luscombe 8A taildragger would’ve likely ended up in a hole. It was an uncontrolled airfield and the aeroplane had no radio. (1969)
@@papadopp3870 oh wow. I feel like now days with flight sims so realistic by the time you take your first flight you are way better off than we were before Microsoft Flight sim
@@jockeyjack3367 That is so true. I met a guy who had the whole flight sim package. Rudders, yoke, augmentented instrumentation, four monitors and the experience is just amazing. OTOH, I can get along with my laptop and Rise of Flight. Y’know, I never thought to ask the guy what a World War I combat sim would be like with his gigantic 737 sim!
