Excellent reminder on “ground track” orientation for traffic alerts. Also, never feel reluctant to respond with negative contact. If anything, ATC continues to assist until traffic no conflict. Asking for & readily accepting “help” is always a plus in your favor.
I've been watching aviation videos for over 2 years now - have learned alot as a non-pilot, but didn't even realize traffic direction as called out by ATC was in relation to ground track. Something I never really thought much about. I always thought it was in relation to where your nose is pointed. In thinking about this, it makes perfect sense - ATC doesn't have a direct visual on you! You're just a blip on a radar screen. The more I watch, the more I learn. 😎 Thanks for your videos, Jason - I appreciate your efforts! 👍🍻
That was AWESOME ... a few things I hadn't considered regarding direction of flight / track with respect to direction of on coming traffic and how it can vary that much. THANK YOU for sharing. 👍👍
The hardest lesson for some people is that it's OK to say "negative contact". Especially if you saw the other plane earlier but then lost it. These things happen. On one flight I felt like a total moron after the fourth "negative contact!" - I really wasn't seeing the other plane - but was relieved to finally see them when they were on short final.
@@erichert1001 The FAA prescribes a lot of stuff that doesn't make much sense. "Looking" is easier to say, conserves valuable radio time and tells the controller what you're doing.
hey Jason how do you connect your audio to your videos ? i just started to record my solos with my prop case and i wanted to figure out how i can connect my avionics, thank you.
Jason, With a safety alert, the left turn should begin immediately, and before saying anything on the radio. That's something taught in the military, but sadly not in General Aviation. That fraction of a second could make a huge difference. Otherwise, a GREAT video!

Just say "looking".
@@jumpinjee Orlando Approach didn't like when I said "looking" a couple weeks ago
@@jumpinjee "negative contact" is the current FAA prescribed phraseology.

Great video! Great explanation with demonstration!
Hey guys. Thank you for all you do.
I'm flying in your neck of the woods this week. Landed at KDED Sunday. Headed back tomorrow.
Good stuff as always Jason. Thanks!
More videos from in the cockpit! Very informative.

This video makes me to remember to wear sunscreen
That's got to be a bad spray tan
In your example, it would be at 2 o’clock
Ground track!!!
