This is incredible I am absolutely transfixed by how professionally they handled you, and even more inspired by how well you managed all of the calls. Thank you so much for putting this out.
I'm working on my CFI/CFII too -- and enjoy your videos. One thing I find especially useful when flying a visual approach which makes life easier and reduces risk - I always load an RNAV or ILS approach for the assigned runway as soon as I know what runway to expect. As soon as I'm flying vectors, I will activate the approach (or switch the CDI to the localizer), and get guidance/confirmation that I'm lined up with the correct runway long before I can see the numbers.
'No ma'm, I'm off course." LOL!! Reminds me of another video I saw where ATC asked the pilots of a DC-10 what their position was. Answer? "I'm taking off!!" LMAO!! BTW, fantastic video!!
Was really excited to watch this video when I saw the thumbnail show up in my feed. However, as I was watching you taxi I thought, "Gee, that looks really familiar." Then, as you were taking off, I thought, "there's no way that could be where I think it is..." and then Boom! Beacon Cafe! Just had brunch there the other day. What a long flight that must've been! New happy subscriber and hopefully soon student pilot in Roanoke, here.
Great video. My freight dog flying was into MSP. The normal there was everyone was slowing at the GS intercept even when on the visual. Surprised they didn't give you a keep speed up until clearance. Most likely they weren't expecting 177 kts. out of you. Excellent job!!!
Moved from Atlanta to work for American flyers Addison as mechanic and getting the rest of my flying ratings as well. How crazy listening to you fly from Dallas to Atlanta. Wish I was in the back seat going back home hahaha
Landed there last month in a Bonanza A36, fee was $50.00 and there was no 100LL available. We were there for a business meeting near the airport, It was a good trip.
Yeah, finished that one last night. I might place one other video in between though, so might be two weeks. The departure had a little flub, so that should prove interesting.
If you land and takeoff from a big commercial airport with lots of scheduled flight, does TSA regulations require that you be escorted to and from your personal aircraft by personal, or that you have to get a security check of some kind?
It's a little different. There's no TSA to inspect you etc... but the FBO and really all companies working at the airport have to abide by strict regulations about access. Their doors to the airport side are usually locked and opened only because you're the pilot or passengers, or someone from the company escorts you.
@@TakingOff In stark contrast to SFO (San Francisco). It's about $500 with the handling fee if you don't buy gas. That is just to stop and pick someone up, no overnight.
Taking Off Thanks. Myself and a Delta pilot were planning to make a 2am attempt doing the same in a C150, mainly because of less traffic at that hour and the lack of speed.
It appears that this is the 1st lesson after ground school b/c he never allowed her to talk with ATC. Also, why take such a new student into a busy airport like KATL? Low, slow and close to home imho is best til she gets some hands-on experience, even then I would not suggest a large Class Bravo.
I dont think you watched the whole video. She isn't a student, but part of my film crew. I was flying from the right seat just to get acclimated for the CFI Initial checkride.
@@TakingOff Her role in the vid nor your accomodations at ATL were explained at the outset of the vid, just that she and the guy in the back seat were along for the ride, lol. Have fun.
Yeah I chuckled when you went screaming in there at 170 KIAS and got told to slow down. Usually it's the opposite problem as you mention above. They must have had you sequenced in pretty close to that RJ. Also, as someone mentioned above, I'd suggest always backing a visual approach with a loaded and active ILS or RNAV approach if available. Regardless, good videos.
Taking Off Gotcha. In the video she was helping more than the standard passenger so watching the video is confusing. I’m not the only one to notice this. Thanks for the clarification.
And fair point. I forget that a lot of people haven't seen the videos leading up to this. SHows that I need to set the stage a little better. Thanks for the comments!
Lol. I know some people don’t read the description. Alicia is a non pilot passenger in the left seat. I’m flying right seat as PIC and sole pilot, getting ready for my CFI checkride.
Fun fact for those who didnt know. ATL says "Dixie" instead of "Delta" to avoid confusing the over 100 Delta flights at the airport at a given time.
Make sense because Delta Airlines operates their main hub at ATL. One of the most profitable Airlines in the world.
Taxiway D has indeed been changed back to Delta.
@@brandyadams3604 when did that happen?
@@MD88Pilot During Covid. It took a long time to stop saying Dixie! Lol. I catch myself every once in a while saying it! 🤣
ATL is a great airport, have known it since the early 1970s. Thank you for this great video.
I liked how you around 10.35 all of a sudden show some random guy in the back looking like his is getting ready to hijack the plane.
Alex will get a kick out that. Maybe I’ll need to squawk 7500?
@@TakingOff An idea for your next video??? Just kidding of course :) But thanks for a great video!
Less stress if you loaded the approach just to confirm you’re going to the correct runway. Good job!
I second this. Back up the visual with an ILS or RNAV whenever possible.
This is incredible I am absolutely transfixed by how professionally they handled you, and even more inspired by how well you managed all of the calls. Thank you so much for putting this out.
Thanks Cody!!
Up next, riding a bike on the Interstate.

Good use of CRM. That and autopilot makes it a lot easier. Still looked pretty busy on the way in. Nice job all the way around,
Awesome!

Glad you found us Peter!! You'll see a lot of taking off from Hicks. Have you joined the North Texas Aviators group on Facebook?
I landed at John Wayne which is a class C but I flew through LAX class Bravo which was crazy busy..
Landing John Wayne counts as a Bravo in my book.
Did you land at “Rwy” Charlie like Old man Harrison Ford?
Nice job. I’m based there with Delta. ATL can be very busy....
Yeah and I edited out a lot of the chatter, just for sake of time.
THE BEST!

Thanks Gary! And how did you find the channel?
While surfing aviation channels on TH-cam it came up as suggested. 👍
Oh good. Trying to grow it. Not sure really how. LOL.
I am no Tuber expert but I would think that if you keep putting out informative videos like you are doing now, the subscribers will come. 🍺

Sounds a lot like what i went through.
Great video.
Great stuff! 9:38 - Is that a VOR station bottom-right?
It’s rare to see a private pilot land in Atlanta, but it is possible to land in a busy airport as a private pilot with VFR, especially Atlanta
20Y you are overtaking the aircraft in front by 40 knots - at ATL! ......... GO LOLA GO!
I know right?
Great video! I live in the Atlanta area. Are you going to post the departure video?
Yeah, finished that one last night. I might place one other video in between though, so might be two weeks. The departure had a little flub, so that should prove interesting.
Awesome Video & nice production quality, for a moment I thought your rear passenger was the actor Michael Peña lol.
they flew over dallas fort worth

Got 75 landings single engine into Atl not difficult just listen carefully. Have they changed Dixie to Dike yet?
I've been looking for one of these
One of these what? Videos? 210s? Major Airports?
@@TakingOff A light Aircraft landing at Hartsfield-jackson. I've found some for less busy airports but never at Hartsfield-jackson.
Ah cool! Hope you enjoyed!
ATL?
Thought you were going to say OSH
LOL! I've got so much flying in the can, releasing one a week, this was from March I think. Not the right time for Osh.
loading an approach (even on a visual) is another good backup to your nav
Good idea (as usual from you!)
Yeah same
I was about to comment that looked easy. Just curious, what are the landing fees at that airport?
Signature waived the ramp fee and just charged me an overnight. Less than $50, don't remember exactly.
@@TakingOff In stark contrast to SFO (San Francisco). It's about $500 with the handling fee if you don't buy gas. That is just to stop and pick someone up, no overnight.
HOLY COW!! I saw someon'es GA video landing at LAX and it was like $150. I did do a bunch of calling and research before going to ATL.
That looked stressful
How much was the landing fee for a C210?
I think it was less than $50. Not bad at all for a large Bravo.
Taking Off Thanks. Myself and a Delta pilot were planning to make a 2am attempt doing the same in a C150, mainly because of less traffic at that hour and the lack of speed.
Why "dixy" instead of delta?
My opinion is they use “Dixie” due to delta airlines having their main hub there, could get confusing.
Doesn’t Oshkosh also get busy
Gets busy at times.
Baffles the mind how pilots are able to understand what the tower is saying
You get used to it.
Subbed, Immediately... Thank you for the great content!
ATL is possibly the most organized airport I've ever been to. Way better than DFW or LAX.
I agree!

And I had a film shoot just off property of ATL. So made sense to fly directly into the airport. We were staying at the airport hotel as well.
@@TakingOff I watched it all! Not familiar with your company or the intentions of the vid. Good luck going forth.
@@TakingOff Her role in the vid nor your accomodations at ATL were explained at the outset of the vid, just that she and the guy in the back seat were along for the ride, lol. Have fun.
@@fred5727 Yeah, I did this video 5 years ago, havent watched it in years. SOunds like I didn't explain the situation. Sorry about that.
Most jets slow to VREF about 5 NM from the threshold (SCHEL in this case) and are at around 140 knots. Hence your "overtake".
Yeah, surprised me. Didn't realize they slow down that much. Especially after being told at a couple other big airports to "keep best speed" going.
@@TakingOff I guess they are worried you may slow early yourself and really back things up! Great video.
Thanks!

She needed to put the cell phone down so she could use both hands. If she is a pilot or assisting there is no way this is legal.
She's a passenger. I was the PIC flying right seat (been flying right seat to get ready for CFI initial)
