We are taking Michael, an FAA Air Traffic Controller, up in the Bonanza to give some insight and pointers for radio communication at towered airport. After that, we'll see how he does at an uncontrolled field. We are flying from Cedar Rapids (KCID) to Des Moines (KDSM), and from there to Pella (KPEA) in Iowa.

I had a CFI that would say, "This button is called push-to-talk, not push-to-think. Plan what you are going to say before keying up." I'm glad that I learned to fly at a towered airport and always requested traffic advisories with approach control while training and maneuvering, it helped a lot to ease my anxiety over dealing with ATC.

As part of the Army's Instrument Examiner's Course, we are required to be familiar with the 7110.65 in order to simulate ATC and issue clearances. It makes you a much better IFR pilot and raises the awareness of how it's "supposed to sound." It helps immensely to visit your local controllers and be familiar with their preferences and peeves. I have gotten excellent service from ATC simply because I coordinated with them beforehand... I love teaching this stuff!

This is outstanding. Complete communications with current ATC guy (approach and tower) in the cockpit. Helps me as a rusty pilot with minimal ATC commo. Both guys are excellent in their commentary and insights in terms of both pilot and controller!!! Also I always wanted to go to the tower to see their side of things, but didn't know if this was acceptable to them. Now I know it is and I plan to do so. Finally, I am extremely impressed with how professional both guys are. I can only hope to one day achieve this level of competence.

Martin, your invitation to this controller, Michael, was brilliant. Insightful choice. Perceptive gentleman. Love his concise phraseology on the freq. Especially enjoyed your description of your pet-peeve about ATC interventions at high workload moments, which ATC has a blind spot about. They train so much, really in an excellent way, and they have a blind unawareness about issuing new clearances right at the moments of high single-pilot workloads. Hope you do more of these ATC-pilot interactions. And please consider a session describing the iPad mount step by step, parts list.

Thanks, Robin. Maybe we'll do another flight with Michael sometime for more ATC insight. The iPad mount in my cockpit is a simple off-the-shelf RAM mount. I don't believe they make this particular kind anymore, but several similar ones are available from RAM or Sporty's etc. - Martin

@stan8235 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you, Martin. Informative as usual. Other conversation I would like to hear from ATC is their feelings on pilots that are now because of advances in avionics and weather reporting in the cockpit, attempting to circumvent instructions/suggestions on approaching weather. I listen to live ATC from Knoxville, where there is a lot of Cirrus SR22 traffic. (Not to single out Cirrus pilots, but only because it is an airport where there is a lot of advanced single engine traffic, with advanced avionics). Often pilots will suggest other options either on approach or prior to departure to beat the weather, most of the time where ATC ends up being right, and the pilot has to break off the approach or deviate anyway. Weather discussions seem to be more of a negotiated conversation anymore.

The ATC person was a fast radio talker and was hard to always follow. But for 1 or 2 comments his comments weren’t very educational but more conversational. I would love to hear an ATC in right seat focused more for students. Big fan of the channel, thanks.

Hey Martin, great video. Can I just confirm one thing, the comment re the ILS/RNAV turn on, he said the only readback is the Alt, I thought the heading and cleared for the approach was a requirement as well. The PTAC is a good tip.

@Bondfan123 3 жыл бұрын

Per 7110.65 - ATC requirements are altitude only. Also per 7110.65 ATC is to use "best judgement" to make decisions. An example would be approaches to parallel runways, the pilot should be expected to confirm the runway assignment by ATC to ensure separation is maintained. Another way to think of it is if the pilot reads it back and ATC doesn't correct it and the pilot follows what he read back, ATC is at fault. If the pilot doesn't read back and something happens it's on the pilot. That's why it's considered best practice to read back almost all instructions/clearances.

@FlyMeAirplane Жыл бұрын

ADS-B as a tool. I was flying into a controlled airport and the non-radar tower told me to cut in front of another airplane. I saw him on ADS-B so I told the tower that I have him on ADS-B and it would be best for me to follow the traffic. So sometimes ATC likes to have an ADS-B report! Seems like they should be using ADS-B in the tower if they don't have radar.

@martinpauly Жыл бұрын

That seems like a no-brainer at first, but it has its own set of problems. Not all aircraft have ADS-B "out", and the airspace controlled by radar-less towers don't require aircraft to be ADS-B equipped. So now you have a mix of traffic, and controllers cannot rely on specific equipment. - Martin

@FlyMeAirplane Жыл бұрын

@@martinpauly Sorry but that sounds like a FAA response. Your basically saying that no information is better than some information! Oh, and this tower I talked about is under a Class B area so all aircraft there have ADS-B.

@martinpauly Жыл бұрын

@@FlyMeAirplane Yes, you heard me correctly. No information is often preferred over partial or potentially misleading information. That's an important design goal for computer/avionics system in aviation. Imagine a tower controller looking at an ADS-B display; maybe they see a target they are looking for, or maybe they don't. Or they see a target but it's not the one they were looking for, instead it's the #2 on final - now they have distance information which doesn't match the aircraft they were thinking of.

This is not my language. Every time he said “this pilot came to Cedar Rapids...” I heard “he came to see the rabbits”... totally sounded like that. First I thought that was the problem, that he didn’t use standard phraseology. To see the rabbits 🐇...😂

Great video! Thanks! To ATC: sometimes the ATIS-Info is very hard to understand. Some controllers are too sloppy when recording. It definitely helps to know whats going on on both sides of the radio.

@martinpauly 3 жыл бұрын

Sometimes that is a problem, yes. What I would like to see is more widespread use of Digital ATIS, uplinked along with other FIS-B stuff. Recording this through voice is not really an efficient solution anymore these days.

Another excellent video, thanks for sharing. One question for ATC, when given a missed approach clearance "Climb to 3000', turn left 060" is the expectation that the pilot will first climb to the cleared altitude before executing the turn? That's the way I remember always doing it, just wondering what ATC is expecting.

@martinpauly 7 ай бұрын

Hi Spike, in that case the expectation would be that you start the climb immediately upon beginning the missed approach, and turn to heading 060º upon reaching 400 feet above the ground or passing the missed approach point (MAP), whichever comes later. This last part is important only if you decide to initiate your missed approach before you reach the MAP (if you don't know what the MAP is, think of the runway). You can start a climb to the missed approach altitude early, but you're not allowed to change your lateral path (incl. heading) until after reaching the MAP. At any rate, the instructions DON'T mean to first climb to 3000' and THEN, after reaching 3000', turn to the new heading. I hope this helps! - Martin

Excellent video. Did you edit the picking up clearance part or did neither of you write anything down? Always write stuff down. Even the simplest instruction can be forgotten when things get busy.

@martinpauly 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks, Chris. I always write down IFR clearances; they are my "contract" with ATC in case I lose communications. For VFR clearances out of the Class Charlie, at least at my home field the only thing that ever varies is the transponder code, and I don't write that down. Different things work for different places, though. - Martin

I don't know what kind of signal you used for your stop in DSM, but here in GRB a quick turn, no services, no shut down is, typically the same as the engine start signal. Index finger raised and spin that in a circle a couple of times to the line guy for a "Quick Turn".

It’s not “standard” if that’s what you’re looking for but it’s one of those things that has a double meaning based on the situation. I’d talk with your local FBO line guys to see if they’ve ever seen something similar to see what they say.

Hello from Belgium! A radio com question: when ATC tells you to report a 3 mile left base, what does that mean? Is it a normal base (that it will intercept a 3 mile final) but 3 miles out of the airport, or is it a very wide base that will have you turn a 3 mile final? I hear both explanations and that confuses me… We do not use that phraseology in Europe. Thanks! Very nice video, btw!!

@martinpauly 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Arno. I don't know if this officially defined anywhere, but I've heard this in situations when I was approaching the airport such that I was approaching the airport perpendicular to the runway, i.e. on a very long base leg. I will then report when I'm three miles from my turn to final. - Martin

I'm not far from Omaha - I wonder if Epply would be a great airport to start training or better out at one of the non controlled ones..

@martinpauly Жыл бұрын

Good question. I know Epply has General Aviation hangars, but I don't know if they have a flight school. Would be best to talk to a few local pilots and get opinions. Another way of looking at it is: if you have a good school with a good instructor, train where they are. Whether you learn at a controlled or uncontrolled field is pretty minor compared with finding a great instructor for you. Best of luck! - Martin
