Runway 380 he said?
"Taxi via A, 380" LOL
Extra dimensional pilot :)
If runway 36 is heading 360°, due north, then runway 380 must be heading 3800°, accessed by spinning around in circles 10 times, plus 200° more and stagger off roughly to the SW? It would explain why he's dizzy. 😂
@@DaddyBeanDaddyBean would actually just be heading 020º
The secret runway ATC does not want you to know about.
That man didn't have Information Quebec, he had Whiskey for sure.
Ba da dup!
😂😂😂😂
Make it a double
Lima Oscar Lima
The perfect comment doesn’t exis…. 😂
Tower: “28V hold short of whiskey, say intentions”
Pilot: “hold shot of whiskey….cheers…380V”
More like: Pilot: “Did you say ‘Hold Whiskey?’”
@@kevindavis8175 Cold Whiskey?
@@kfiatooh666 Nope. Hold like hold a bottle of whiskey.
Lolol
Readback seems to be a really good field sobriety test 😁
Imagine if he was a JFK?
Funny, that was an exact copy of the most-liked comment 4 days ago on another video covering the incident :D
@@marklupus I can only imagine, well, I can't, but if this had happened at JFK when Kennedy Steve was there I think it would have been a much more interesting conversation.
sober people cant read back sometimes.. lol
@@CharlieTheNerd91Wow Like word for word? (And the emoji?) If that's the case, that's quite impressive because I just discovered the incident with this video and that was the first thought that came to my mind (...unless I have amnesia? or... am I a clone/AI and I don't know it? or... I found my soulmate?)
Do you have the title or video id so I can find it? I'm curious 😁
ATC was giving a sobriety test over the air.
ATC: N7828V I need you to say your ABCs starting with the letter F and ending with the letter U.
N7828V: Roger, taxi via Foxtrot and hold short of Uniform, 38V
Zulu, Yankee, X-Ray, Whiskey... mmm... Whiskey.
Airfield sobriety test.
lol@@Jim_Jimworth
ATC saved his life for sure!
And possibly others too.
9/10 times the drunk lives, and it's other people who pay for the mistake.
@@logicplague2077When you're talking about cars, maybe. With airplanes, surely not. Much more unforgiving.
@@SolarWebsiteExcept the landing part
@@SolarWebsite True, but if anyone had the best chances of survival, it would be the drunk.
That's not just tipsy. That's DRUNK
According to another channel, he blew a 0.20 BAC. Thats more than drunk, I’m glad he didn’t get that thing up in the air
For real. That’s a voice of someone who is 6+ drinks beyond drunk.
bro was slizzered
@@DavidWsTrainVideos Geez. That's probably enough for a vampire to get drunk off his blood!
@@DavidWsTrainVideos And it usually takes an hour or two to get either a calibrated breath test or a blood draw, so his BAC was higher when he was at the controls!
Better to lose your license than your life. Good on that controller for recognizing the man was smashed and acted accordingly. Too many GA crashes lately. Tragedy diverted.
Well said. I would add ..... its better to not do anything stupid like show up drunk trying to fly.... throwing away all that time and money spent earning the right to fly because of an unwise decision where this guy SHOULD HAVE STAYED at home and get smashed instead. Very poor judgement that cost this guy EVERYTHING!!!!
@@nal2us2 I'm always baffled at these situations. What are the pilot's thinking? Are they so full of confidence and arrogance to think they can get away with it? No self-awareness, or foresight? Or maybe there is some external pressures in their lives which has led to a series of bad decisions? It is strange that, like you said, one would willingly jeopardize all the time, money, and effort put into obtaining their PPL in such a way.
Not being a drinking man all I can say is this was EXTREMELY POOR JUDGEMENT on the part of the now... Ex-Pilot. I am studying right now for my PPL but the last thing I am going to do is something stupid even if I DID DRINK!!!! I dont get it.@@therealajnelson
*averted, not "diverted"
Actually, it's possible the tragedy was in fact diverted rather than averted, to a drunk driving wreck as opposed to a plane wreck, for example.
"Are you familiar with the airport ?"
Somewhat familiar tower ....there are 3 bars in the terminal !"
It's unusual to see a red eye flight during daylight hours.
This already happened on the 27th of April 2017. The aircraft, a 1964 Mooney M20E registration N7828V, was at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport at Broomfield, Colorado. The pilot had a breath analyzer test which gave a result of a .20 BAC or the equivalent of 200mg per 100ml ethanol in his blood. The airport informed him that their hangar lease was terminated immediately. The aircraft was subsequently sold to a new private owner in Arizona, who had nothing to do with this incident. Both controllers were nominated for an Archie, the NATCA annual medal of safety award.
Technically all these recordings "already happened" but I get your point, this is an old one. For some reason all these ATC audio youtube channels are copying each other and recycling this old incident these last few weeks.
Ah! I thought I was having extreme déjà vu!
@@calcutronsmith9198 But if it's recorded before it's recorded, it's prerecorded.
I looked the guy up, and it appears he didn't learn, he got a DUI in late 2023 in Texas.
@@dave30076 Damn, what a waste of oxygen. DUI is one of the few things I have zero empathy for.
His radio drunk is better than my radio sober.
I hear ya…I mean I don’t hear ya 😂
I have a country sound to my voice so when ATC gets to talking real fast I just throw a little more twang at them at a slower pace and they slow it down to 3rd grade level for me. Try it! It works!
@@KPMACHINE1 I like your style! Every time that I attempt an American accent, people laugh at me. And not in a good way. 🙂
Taxi.... toooo.. uhhhh.. whiskey....
Lol
N7828V running checklists:
Throttle set
Bottles open
Well, if you're headed for Whiskey, a taxi isn't a bad idea. ;-)
Sounds like he taxied to a little too much whiskey already 🥴
"What is your position on uh...breast implants?" -Jack Nicholson in the plane😊
I love the way you mash the captions together when they talk over each other 😅 perfect representation
He was so sloppy drunk he sounded like he was doing an IMPRESSION of someone drunk. 🤣
If this had been an untowered airport, that guy might be dead now.
And hundreds of innocent people as well.
@@marcospark2803 I mean it's a small general aviation plane so likely not.
@@sakumisan he could crash on a bigger one...
Not all that far from DIA airspace.@@sakumisan
@@sakumisan unless he decides he wants front row seats at the superbowl
He refused a breathalyzer test until arrested and brought to the station, where he agreed to the test. It came out 0.20. For drunk driving in CO the limit is 0.08. He was plastered.
Better plastered and in jail than plastered all over the real estate......
For a car, it's 0.08. I understand for a PPL, it's 0.04. He was waaaaay over either one.
Oh, and I looked him up, it appears he got a DUI in a car in late 2023 in Texas. Still doing the same thing, didn't learn.
anything over 0.04 has consequences for maintaining pilot's certificate. @@dave30076
@@dave30076 I'm a bit confused by the rules in the USA (I'm not a pilot); the FAA says no alcohol consumption within 8 hours of flying, but the BAC limit is 0.04. Is that correct? In Australia and Europe, the BAC is 0.02.
Ah yes the old 8 bottles 1 hour to throttle.
I'm guessing that audio came straight off the tower's console, probably used as evidence.
Definitely looks like the tapes. I was submitted it.
That man’s hypoxic at the hangar.
this comment made me sharply exhale out of my nose
Same!
Need vectors to Ypsilanti
@@devintariel3769 Can’t…..hold….altitude
well that's one helluva way to lose your pilot's license
This may be an old recording, but how ATC managed to stay calm, have enough time to summon assistance is a real skill.
I think he had an "Instructor" alright...Jack....Jack Daniels
Ah the infamous,
"is their an instructor on board?", question.
This happened in April 2017 and was featured in the 2018 Archie awards. Please include the date in the video and update the source in the description.
@bremy72 --- Why? The incident is new to anyone that has never heard / seen it before. People need to be reminded of the worst legal drug there is. Thanks to Vasa Aviation for putting this on You Tube! Boozers are losers!
He was drunk, but please don't forget that slurring, difficulty standing, and an alcohol-like smell on the breath are also signs of diabetic ketoacidosis. If the pilot had been suffering from that, ATC would also have saved his life.
First responders are usually trained to ask if a person has a history of diabetes or medical issues for situations like this.
But not holding a whisky bottle !!!
This is correct. ATC saved this mans life, either from himself or from a medical emergency. Was clearly in no position to be flying no matter what was happening
You're right, but he was arrested, and his BAC was 0.20, which is well above the automotive limit of 0.08 and (I believe) the PPL limit of 0.04. They did check, though. And, this guy appears to be still at it, a DUI in Texas in late 2023.
Or a stroke. We had that video on this channel with the controller who turned out to have a stroke while on the air, it sounded very similar to a drunk person.
ATC saved that dude's life. If it had been an uncontrolled airport he would have probably gotten himself killed.
And anybody on the ground's life.
LOL! 380 huh? Great catch by ATC. I thought he might be having a stroke, the real answer is disappointing, and not a cause for sympathy. ATC probably saved his life, and maybe other people's too.
Sort of the opposite happened to a Vegas controller -- it was pretty obvious the pilots thought she was drunk, but she was having a stroke. I think the video is on this channel.
Even people who aren’t pilots know runways are numbered only from 1 to 36.
Oh my god, he can’t even repeat words and he thought he could fly a plane?!
They don't call it liquid courage for nothing.
Did they detect blood in his alcohol system?
I remember looking this up. If I recall right he blew something crazy like a .20!
😱😱@@loupgarou95
GREAT WORK Rocky Mountain Metro!!! Thank you for preventing a tragedy and giving aviation yet another black eye that is not needed right now! PROPS to the ATC of Colorado!!! WooHoo!!!
I agree with everything you said except the "right now"' part. This incident happened in 2017.
As a guy who drinks a lot (responsibly): dang this guy was hammered
This reminded me of an incident a few years ago - a JAL pilot was arrested and jailed in London for attempting to board and fly an airliner with a BAC of 0.189. It's one thing to kill yourself through stupidity, but risking taking a plane full of people with you shows that he couldn't be trusted as a pilot anymore.
This reminds me of what you hear with a hypoxic pilot (those are some nail biting audios, for sure, but you know they “clear up” as soon as they get the plane to a lower altitude). So glad they stopped this guy! Can’t imagine what he was thinking.
How on earth! I cant believe such a demeanor. The TWR did an amnzg job alerting the cops.
1st word i knew already he was drunk😅😂
He taxied to whiskey...
Thank God he was not allowed to depart !!!
The "over" gave it away 🤭
Yep, way over!
This is quite old, from 2017(18?). There is a transcript online. That plane is still registered as airworthy, in spite of (pilot's? pilots'?) attempts to auger in by the jammed flashlight in 2011 and by following information Wiskey in 2017.
So this guy was my student back when I was a CFI. I gave him his PPL instruction in 7828V. And I was the pilot with the aileron jam in KPIE. I've got the ATC audio from that incident, I've even sent it to vasa but they've never replied to me.
The plane, airworthy. The pilot, not so much!
Damn, that wasn’t just drunk, that was Barney drunk. Only thing missing was the belches
Something tells me this guys doesn't understand "8 hours bottle to throttle".
He probably thinks you can be on the throttle for 8 hours, as long as you got a bottle.
As said in a previous comment, it’s 8 bottles, one hour to throttle.
@@thomasaltrudaexactly haha
@@thomasaltruda
Or just 8 bottles by the throttle.
Speech and behavior like that is not always indication of intoxication. I've seen someone go through a minor stroke and that's exactly what it sounded like, even though the person claimed that everything was just fine.
Yeah. But I don't hear any accusation from the ATC. He just wants to hear clear readback, and then send somebody to check on the pilot. The subsequent test revealed which of these options it was
Good call to the ground controller on this one. Either drunk, on drugs, or having a medical emergency, but either way, not fit to fly, and should have someone investigate. Good call.
Yep. In this case it was apparently alcohol, but it could have been a stroke. Glad they investigated.
i mean, yes but what else could the controller have done? the pilot was not reading back correctly so ATC could never give clearance for takeoff.
Cudos to ATC for recognizing the impairment and saving this guy’s life.
I believe this occurred on April 27, 2017.
The pilot ended up blowing a .207 BAC.
Man thinking he is Denzel Washington!
This reminds me of one of AFP95's videos haha. Good times.
“I am a father of 2 kids, this little game won’t scare me.”
GP69: Are you guys stoned currently?
Someone who's clearly Australian: Nah we're just American.
"I've been havin' a little beer."
God, I miss those videos so much..hearing him try to do ATC was hilarious. The new videos are fine, I guess, just boring. It's just him playing VATSIM, I miss 400kt hot air balloons.
@@logicplague2077 he still does them, just not as much as he used to... lol
@@robb3743 And they're not as good as they used to be, either. I miss his ATC videos, now it's all VATSIM.
"Are you familiar with the airport?"
"Oh yea. Very familiar. You got Steve's bar, Jimmy's bar, Marie Anne's bar... she's on maternity leave though. Not mine. Made that mistake a few times."
I confused. why Roger going to Quebec via the Tower? Sorry.. I didn't mean runway 380, I menat runway 38. after take off, climb to flight level 97,000 feet with heading 475. Why is CarPlay telling me that it will take 82 hours to drive my plane to Quebec train station?
Maintain -10000 knots as your airspeed.
say good bye to your pilot license the entire life forever.
Really? Can they do that?
They most certainly can! @@SquawkCode
@@spyersecol0013 Can you explain? Is there a reg? Or an example?
@@SquawkCode Do you mean are there regulations against drinking? Of course. 14 CFR § 91.17
And yes as a result of breaking regulations they can permanently revoke your certificate. They have done it in the past.
@SquawkCode Of course they can such privileges can be removed when it been proven you can't be trusted with them
See. Now, if he had said, 28V ready to taxi with whiskey," the controller would have been able to figure it out more quickly.
That controller had the patience of Job.
Rare to see an OWI in an aircraft. Hope this is a wakeup call for this man, alcoholism is no joke.
We had a pilot with a revoked driver's license for DUI. Still had his ticket though. They would call me to pick him up at the bar all the time and take him to the hangar. Helluva pilot though.
“Helluva pilot though” You are joking, right? Please tell us you’re joking.
@@absurdengineeringno he was a natural born stick n rudder man
Great job ATC!!!!
Taxi via Alpha, Whiskey
Whiskey? Bravo!
Great catch by the ATC. Who knows how many lives he may have saved by not letting this guy leave the ground. This pilot was absolutely hammered.
Good job ATC!!
I herd the guy was wearing the hat that holds 2 beers and has the 2 straws run to your mouth. ATC said they didn’t notice much difference in his speech cause most airline pilots sounded the same. But the Hat gave him away.
So DUI is driving under influence, what is flying under influence FUI ? 😂😂
On one hand, this is disgraceful from this pilot, but on the other hand, he had the good sense to comply with the hold position order while drunk. Maybe, just maybe, he is a real aviator at heart. I'd like to learn more about this guy.
you can be all the aviator you want but being near blackout drunk and getting in a plane warrant losing your licence for life.
@@SupremeRuleroftheWorld well yeah, lol
Information Whiskey.
He wasn’t in a Mooney, he was in a Moonshiney
Thanks for ATC
That’s not having a cocktail or two, that’s fucking hammered!
Never understood how can anybody drink and drive. But this is whole new level.
Good job by all involved.
02:33 - "You’re nicked, sunshine..."
wow.. saved his life for sure.. and it could have been a bad aviation day if he took off. good catch to the ATC>. you saved countless lives
the amount of meme potential this 3min interaction has.
Great job by ATC. Keeping our skies safe.
"We don't have a runway 380. That's beyond the laws of physics."
Fantastic job by ATC 👏👏👏👏👏
Bravo ATC.
he only knew how to get to the airport bar
He was in the process of pulling a Whip Whitaker.
Damn, weird to see my house on a sectional in a VASAviation video!
When did this happen? I live in the area and Im surprised this wasnt on the news.
Reading the comments, I found out it happened in April 2017.
As someone who recently had a Jeep totalled and a leg broken by someone who never should've gotten in a car, I don't have a ton of empathy for these types.
Unbelievable. 😮😮
Hey I used to instruct here! The controllers were great.
You'll Saved lives on this day.. THANK YOU! and an Airplane
How many degrees in a circle? 380+? Bwahaha He must have been totally pissed :)
ATC: "Go ahead and shut down your engine airport is coming to talk to you." Pilot: "Oh, these incessant delays..."
What a surprise!
ATC was on the phone about the third read back he was just making sure it was obvious the pilot was impaired saved his life and maybe somebody on the ground or in the air.
TWR: What's your callsign?
PLT: My wife calls me JW, Johnnie Walker.
TWR: Cut your engine, exit the plane and keep walking towards the hangar.
Would LOVE to see the body cam on this
He flunked a field sobriety test and was taken to the station, where he blew a .20. His hangar lease was terminated and he had to sell his aircraft.
That is scary. Thank god his plane was parked at a controlled airfield.
Really should have made it clear how old this incident is in the video. I'd hate to be the current owner of that aircraft and have people try to look me up assuming this was me!
Exactly. It's changed hands since then. Current guy will probably get a lot of funny looks due to this going viral in 2024.
The controller deserve a medal wow... he surely saved this guy and others life too. Hero !
There goes my hero.
“OCTOBER 11th, OCTOBER 12th and 13th and 14th I was intoxicated! I drank all those days in excess!”
Tipsy tango, over.
God bless the ATC for paying attention and not being afraid to do something about it!
"What do you mean I ain't fit to fly any more? I'll show you, hold my 12th beer!"
I read that this guy blew a .20, which is 2.5x the limit for driving a car.
1:51 had me DYING 🤣 🤣
