@@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 I am currently pursuing my PPL, but I've had a lot of anxiety about radio calls. Watching this video and listening to you explain how and WHY you're doing everything made a big impact on me. This video, honestly, just sold me on your program.
I love how you explain every detail of what you are doing, not assuming your viewer knows but breaking down even the smallest things to clear explanations. Your an amazing teacher and your videos are awesome.
I rarely leave comments on videos, but this one was a must. Thank You for this highly informative video! As a student pilot, this answered every question I had about VFR approaches into class C. (I have only experienced class G/E and D airports) Looking forward to viewing your other videos, Thanks!
Great instruction! I fly to my first Class C Airport tomorrow and then fly back at night. My instructor sent me this link and it’s helped tremendously 🙏🏻✈️😎
Excellent refresher! Thank you for taking the time to make and share this video. Visiting the low altitude world is so foreign to us mountain pilots. Our typical trips have runways or airstrips between 5,000' to 8,000' msl, so we don't have a lot of wiggle in the throttle to maintain manifold pressure. Thank you so much for the ride along.
This is a great video. As a flight attendant and current flight student, this is one of the most accurate videos I have seen. Sounds just like communications on a 737 landing in SRQ. Clear explanations, thank you.
Great video! I'm going to fly into SRQ for the first time this month (it'll be my first charlie). I'm a new pilot with only 220 hours so great to see this kind of instruction and great reminders on the little stuff (radio calls, trim, etc). Earned a sub today! Keep up the great work.
I have yet to start flying but am studying and using sim for practicing ATC (Pilotedge). I really like your commentary, attention to detail, and clear communication. Great job! I have learned many things along the way but what you said about descending by reducing power and leaving it trimmed, etc... just clicked. Pure gold - Thanks so much :)
Haha, its one of the worst things I hear on the radio. However I do occasionally use "conflicting traffic please advise" as around our airport there are several guys who do not broadcast and only listen, but will broadcast if there is a potential conflict. If I think I see one of them in the pattern, I'll usually use that particular phraseology to try to squeeze a position report out of them, just something you have to do in this particular area.
FLY8MA.com Flight Training you are right there some guys you have to strangle radio calls out of.. drives me nuts. if everyone just did it correctly you wouldn't need "fake" calls like that. typically i don't like the please advise call because it can cause a hog tie on the frequency with everyone responding and stepping on each other.
I heard this complaint (or ones like it) a lot, and switched to just reporting points in pattern (on 45, on downwind, etc.). It is true that just reporting your own position usually gets others to come back with their positions.
I will support you through Patreon. How lucky are we, the new and old pilots, to have people out there supporting general aviation and dispensing their knowledge to us. We are all empowered now to have all the information we need to be safe and current as we walk up to our airplane. I have been chair-flying with you and appreciate all of the skills that you are sharing. Thanks FLY8MA.
This brings back memories - my home airport Bayport (23N) was a class G cutout out of Long Island Macarthur's (ISP) class C airspace. I got good at getting a code from ISP Clearance and then got a Class C Transition on departure. All Cross Countries had Flight Following!
Give it a shot! If you have questions, just ask the controllers, they're almost always happy to help. Just preface it with, "xyz tower, you have time for a question?"
This video answered so many questions, I can't believe it. Also I liked you leaving in all the communications from ATC. Now I know what to expect when flying into Class Charlie airports.
Dankie Joh. It can be very tricky. If the tower don't give notice to came down/ lose height. You will be to high for a landing. So you must have extra fuel. Your command of English must also be very good.
Saying "In the box" is a bad habit when flying internationally as it is commonly said in the US but not outside of it so that phrase can confuse controllers. Reading back "Squawk 0164" is what is expected. I remember hearing a story about a captain getting after his first officer who kept saying that, not sure if it was word of mouth or from a yt video because it's been awhile but I do know it's not the best way to put it. Great video and thank you for putting yourself out here. And nice landing :)
The confidence and the experience of this guy blows my brain 🤯..... I almost think you would have to be a robot to register all the instructions from atc......I love all this and at the same time it is terrifying to me.... 🤔.... I took a number of flights on a single engine airplane with a pilot..... Loved it 🙂
You don't have to be a machine, in many cases when you're addressing ATC you know exactly what kind of instructions you're expecting based on your most recent communication with them. A good example is an IFR flight, you're departing your origin airport and tower hands you off to departure. You know, by training, the first thing you need to do is listen for at least 10 seconds for a good opening and then report your callsign, current altitude, and last cleared altitude. At that point, departure will confirm your location with the phrase 'radar contact' and then will normally clear you for whatever cruise altitude you filed in your flight plan or will clear you for an intermediary altitude depending on traffic and conditions. Additionally, you may be given vectors to join the route you scheduled in your flight plan. That may or may not happen depending on how far off of runway heading you need to go to enter your planned route.
Great video - I like the fact that you continue to explain all the basic stuff you're doing to fly the plane in the gaps between radio calls. That's very helpful for a beginning student like me.
Really glad to hear it all helps out! Stop by and see us in KVNC when you're in FL and be sure to share our new site with your friends on Facebook and around the airport! www.fly8ma.com/
Excellent instruction thank you so much for your help on my fly. I’m planning to get my private pilot license and your video It’s very helpful and helps me a lot. Thank you so much.
That's the first time I've heard someone refer to the transponder as "the box", although I've watched another video with an airliner pilot where he said it was one of the things he had to learn not to do when he became a pilot for a major airline. Everyone I've flown with says "Squawk 1234".
Yes, DO NOT SAY , “in the box”. That is slang and not proper. Read back “squawk 1234.” To the guy who made the video, if you’re going to make videos to help people, do it properly. Don’t use slang and teach student pilots bad habits. Not a good example
Awesome video, not only by sharing the way of talking with the ATC......flight technique, check list usage safety....endless if you watch closely.....keep posting
Excellent Video and great instructions from a true and very Peofessional Pilot and Instructor. Very informative, for new Pilots and even for those who are just interested in Aviation. I am a Tower Controller in Class C from Kahului Airport, Maui, Hawai'i, and I highly recommend this video to others. Job well done! Mahalo nui loa! Thank you very much! Aloha!
Fabulous video, full of tons of useful info, and little tips here and there that i havnt heard anywhere else yet. Great job, keep the vids coming, i love them!
Great instructional video. It would be awesome if you could transcribe relevant controller interaction, especially since you were also talking to the audience.
Amazingly helpful for student or even experienced pilots. I amazed at how much is going on in the cockpit and airspace, but your able to maintain the training portion at the same time. Look forward to more like this...
Awesome video. I have one question: when you contact approach you give your position but not altitude. I thought you were supposed to give altitude too? Thanks a lot
"ground usually starts with 121" Ground frequencies don't need to have the same range as air frequencies. Thus they can tolerate more overlap between ground frequencies between neighboring airports, and thus don't need as many ground frequencies.
Love the video as I am returning back to flying after 10 years. Just finished a little over 5 hours with instructor and ready to log PIC time. My only comment/request is for you to speak a little slower. I had to back up quite a few times to get all the relevant information. Thank you for these videos.
Thanks for the videos and instruction: I've been taking flight training at Venice and it is great to see the familiar airfields, especially since I flew that trip from KVNC to KSRQ with my instructor just 4 days ago. Fellow student pilots should notice that at 1:49 there's a radio call with words "please advise" which FAA discourages. "... departing runway 2-3, conflicting traffic please advise." I wonder if there's a better way to say this at non-tower airports. I know that we've got to alert all traffic, even the quiet ones. I've tried announcing "..., ready to depart rwy __" after my runup, then turning the plane (in the runup area) back to look for traffic on base and final, then announcing "..., departing rwy __" before finally taxiing past the hold-short line onto the runway. Does this sound reasonable to experienced pilots? AIM Section 4-1-9 "Traffic Advisory Practices at Airports Without Operating Control Towers" has (4-1-9 g. Self-Announce Position and/or Intentions) which says, "Pilots stating, “Traffic in the area, please advise” is not a recognized Self−Announce Position and/or Intention phrase and should not be used under any condition." (I'm a rookie, trying to do things right in preparation for check ride. "Should not be used under any condition" sounds like a pretty strong suggestion.) AIM offers instead, at least to get wind and runway info, in (section 4-1-9 h. Unicom Communications Procedures): 2.

Very nice and clear videos! Love it. Question; you said that if the controller tells you to maintain an altitude of 2100ft, you have to keep it until advised. But I don't understand WHEN this restriction is released? The approach instructed you to descent to 1600ft later on, but why are you allow to descend futher 1600ft and not staying at this instructed altitude? The tower frequency switch? What does allow you to disregard this second descent altitude instruction? Hope you get my question (I am not an english native speaker) Thanks for your help!
So useful. I have my first cross-country coming up soon, and I'm a little nervous about using the radio outside my home airport. I've gotten used to the controllers here, but it took a while...
Before taking the runway at your G runway, you should announce on CTAF your intent to takeoff and say you intend to fly straight out and North rather than announce that just after takeoff in the air. Once in the air you should also reinform local traffic that you are departing the area flying North. The AIM format is [airfield name 'traffic'] Cessna xxx takeoff runway x, departing North. [airfield name 'traffic']. Once in Charlie airspace you need to fly heading and altitude as instructed (he told you to expect right downwind so you are to aim for that)....Not just wander around. They like to know their traffic separation is acknowledged since their MAIN job is traffic separation. You did not get cleared to turn to base. You should have contacted tower first and gotten that direction. Sometimes other traffic is on long final and you would be turning into it. There actually is no such thing as shock cooling, btw. Esp in the tropics like Florida. If you do not get a clearance to land you MUST NOT LAND!!!! That is a reportable violation.
Great video, and great contribution overall. Just a couple of nitpicks - "looking for traffic is a redundant call". The controller is not interested in how diligently you are looking for traffic. He wants to know if you have the traffic in sight. I would recommend saying "negative traffic". "0164 in the box" is also redundant. I would just say "0164". Others have commented already about "conflicting traffic please advice". Otherwise, great stuff!! Thanks for your efforts!!!
Just found your channel and subscribed. Great video, as an aspiring pilot the explanations are very helpful. Does this airplane have ADSB-in? If not, do you sometimes request flight following so that the controllers will advise you of nearby traffic?
This is the best instructional video I have seen in a long time. you must be a great instructor. keep them coming.
Thanks! Safe flying!

Fantastic video. Thank you!
You did an awesome job explaining this thank you very much.
This is awesome stuff...I am in my commercial training now but in my humble opinion still alot to learn. Your vids inspire me - thanks for that.
Good luck on the training! Fly Safe!
Very nice and clear videos! Love it. Question;
you said that if the controller tells you to maintain an altitude of 2100ft, you have to keep it until advised.
But I don't understand WHEN this restriction is released? The approach instructed you to descent to 1600ft later on, but why are you allow to descend futher 1600ft and not staying at this instructed altitude? The tower frequency switch? What does allow you to disregard this second descent altitude instruction?
Hope you get my question (I am not an english native speaker)

Great video, and great contribution overall. Just a couple of nitpicks - "looking for traffic is a redundant call". The controller is not interested in how diligently you are looking for traffic. He wants to know if you have the traffic in sight. I would recommend saying "negative traffic". "0164 in the box" is also redundant. I would just say "0164". Others have commented already about "conflicting traffic please advice". Otherwise, great stuff!! Thanks for your efforts!!!
Great vid. Surprised though you had carby heat off on a long low power descent. Your vids are great 👍
You have the most thorough channel on youtube for clarity of procedures. Keep it up!
I am surprised you did not clean the flaps after takeoff and before first turn.
love your videos
Much appreciated!!
Thanks for the video man. Haven't flown into C in a while and this helped.
Just found your channel and subscribed. Great video, as an aspiring pilot the explanations are very helpful. Does this airplane have ADSB-in? If not, do you sometimes request flight following so that the controllers will advise you of nearby traffic?
