  • With a little over 50 hours of flight training, I received an endorsement to fly solo from Livermore to Hollister to Castle and back to Livermore! Hop in as I travel over 150 nautical miles in 2.5 hours :)

    What practice did you do in order to get your radio calls out so smoothly?

    awesome flight man, i fly in norcal too out of sac exec with around 50 hours. doing my solo xc this week. any tips with the radios? i find myself freezing up or fumbling my words even though i know what i want to say lol thanks!

      hope your solo xc went great :) for the radios, i often rehearse what i'm going to say 2-3 times before saying it -- it helps a great deal, but sometimes i still find myself blanking or fumbling (even now that i'm a private pilot). the most important thing to remember is that ATC is there to help you, not judge you -- if you freeze, it's totally fine to start over or repeat yourself!

      @ryan Did you do your training at exec? If so, ATP or Advanced Aviation?

    I go to ATP Flight school in Livermore we should definitely fly together!

    Great radio calls, btw what ipad and ipad mount do you use ?

    • @VanshajFlies
      @VanshajFlies  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      thanks, i use an ipad mini with a RAM tab-tite yoke clamp. it's served me pretty well across various aircraft (at this time i've flown 172s, 182s, pa28s, and m20s and the mount fits on all those yokes just fine).

    how are you getting the radio recording as stereo? Mine only records in mono using GoPro audio adapter.
    Very smooth and easy ATC communications. did you get your PPL by now?

    • @dgillphotos
      @dgillphotos หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not sure. You can make it stereo in post - let em know if you need help.

    Which yoke mount are you using? And is that an iPad mini?

    • @VanshajFlies
      @VanshajFlies  ปีที่แล้ว

      hey! i'm using the RAM Tab-Tite Yoke Clamp Mount (rammount.com/products/ram-b-121-tab2u). and yes, that's an ipad mini -- i've found it to be far less space-intrusive than the ipad air.

    ATC probably not used to people specifying the model. Cessna 172 or skyhawk would suffice.

    • @VanshajFlies
      @VanshajFlies  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      correct, ATC (generally) doesn't differentiate between different years/models of the same type of aircraft. however, i think you're referring to me identifying my aircraft as a 172/G -- the /G is the equipment code indicating that i have a GPS system (with certain capabilities) on board :) typically, when making a VFR request, it's good practice to inform the controller what equipment you have on board, so that they know what kind of instructions you can follow -- especially in busy airspace like norcal/socal.

      @@VanshajFlies I've never heard that before. As long as you have Mode C transponder that's all they really care. They make the same instructions whether or not you have a GPS system I would think. Can you give me an example of what extra instructions they would give you for having a GPS system?

      @@VanshajFlies the reason I asked which software you used was this, I noticed when you were listening to atis you were writing things down on your ForeFlight app, and would looked to be a pre-fill-in type page which I don’t see on my ForeFlight app, is that something that comes with ForeFlight, or did you have to download a special page for that?
