Thanks Jason.Your teaching makes learning to fly fun,comforting,and much easier to understand than the instructing i am receiving at this point.

Jason, One of your best assets is your honesty and transparency. I join the many who are thankful you didn't give up on flying. Great job my friend!

Always worth while to get another perspective. Thanks Jason.

Hey Jason, I remember that day lol I was 72W in the Pattern and was busy as all get out!!! Great videos and keep them coming.

Very helpful video. I can relate to what's being said, and it's comforting to know I'm not the only student who finds radio work challenging at times. Keep up the good work Jason!

I know this is almost 2 years late, but that tip of saving your name until the end has helped me greatly! Thank you so much!

Awesome video, I love these kind of videos ,I always struggle with radio communication.

Yes, I needed that stream Jason! Thanks!! I'm doing my private checkride on Monday

Thanks for making your videos clear and concise I have my solo with 3 full stops today, this made me feel better

Awesome quality and calm instructions. I fly commercially in Europe, in Germany (try listening to Lufthansa comms) they specifically seem to teach to first readback the callsign, after which they use their (for instance) mcp (in boeings etc), to read back the specific clearance, which they probably just dialed in. This is not common practice outside of germany though. Keep the video’s coming. Btw I am trying out starting my own channel, give my vids a try please. Thanks Jason!

Wow Jason!! I love that modern panel in that Skyhawk! it looks so clean, simplistic and functional. There are a lot of old dinosaur airplanes out there that need to be brought into the 21st century. Gorgeous plane!! BTW loved your online ground school. Just finished my Commercial pilot ground and passed the written last week. If you haven't used his MzeroA ground school, I strongly recommend it. I thought it was well laid out, the videos and tests were excellent and I consider it a far superior product to the King schools or Cessna ground schools I have taken.

These real world examples are very helpful!

Hey... Love your videos! Very informative and Very Helpful! Thanks Again!!!

Thanks, very useful video! Fly safely!

Jason, that's so true, I wanted to give the airplane call sign first, but I was struggling with remembering the instructions, so I switched to say it at the end, and you just reinforced the same thing today in the video. Thank you for the wise advises.

Thanks Jason, love the personal information( very helpful )

You're awesome Jason, I've listened to you many times and have learned a lot. I became a private helicopter pilot in April, but your information about flying airplanes applies to helicopters also

Your vids are so helpful I feel guilty they're free! Thanks!

I got my solo xc to a controlled Airspace tomorrow and this vid helped a lot!!

I fly in Arizona, and I can relate to taxi with door open.

Thank you Jason! 🙏🏻 I’m signing up for PPL ground school.

Great advice!! Thanks!

Thanks for a great learning video, sometime if the workload at class d airport is light, the ground and tower are same people,

I'm currently getting my private, should have my checkride around Mid January. Flying out of St Pete, FL. Always taxi with a window or door open in FL haha, it gets so hot.

Thanks for the video. Please do a video explaing all airspace class and the shortcut to remember their ceiling visibility numbers.

Love your videos! Flying out of Sarasota! Might have to take a Cross Country!

Great Video. Thanks

You are the best ❤️😊💎🦋🌻

Great story about your solo cross country radio mishap.

That's so funny your solo cross country sounds exactly how mine went lol same airport too

Great video. These really knock the rust off. Question: When taxiing to depart an unfamiliar airport, how do you know where the runup area is?

We use the "Florida air-conditioning" here in Pennsylvania too, LOL 😆

I was"raised" at a pilot controlled airport and feared towered airports. Then I went to Army flight school where the first flight took me to a heliport with 5 lanes (parallel runways) and 10 students with instructors all flying closed traffic on CTAF.. barely knew what the flight controls did and trying to keep up with the radio was overwhelming to say the least. Flying is probably least about flying the aircraft and more about decision making and communications. Comes with time and a good instructor + self study.

What about this same scenario for the IFR pilot? What do I say to get my clearance and get out of Delta? Thanks Jason. You do great great work.

Thank you sir

Love your videos. Any chance you'll offer an IFR curriculum?

It’s actually correct procedure to preface with your callsign before readbacks, so they know who is talking. Only rookies give the read back first and then follow with their callsign. Listen to center freq when airliners talk. It’s a Common GA mistake. He even proved himself wrong with this 10 seconds later. “Radio communication is easy. It’s just like ordering pizza...WHO ARE YOU...where are you...then what do you want.” You can repeat it to yourself real quick if you need to before responding or get good at quick short hand writing. Build good habit patterns early. Enjoyed the video Jason

Hey Jason, thank you for all your infomational videos! They're big help! I have a question, what does it mean an airport that on sky vector shows as class B and D... example KPAH? Thanks!

Plenty of Class Deltas nearby. For night currency, I actually do 4 stop and gos with two of four at a Class D.

You did this so well it gave me confidence…then I heard my tail number called and my heart sank. Practice makes perfect!

Thank you

Before I start, I know you have a lot more experience and I don’t mean this in an offensive way, just an observation and recommendation. So I fly out a fairly busy class D airport regularly and I’ve gotten the chance to chat with some of the controllers. They’ve all said that cold calling is annoying to them because it ends up taking more time on frequency than just calling and saying what you want. Now with that, they did say to listen to the frequency and not call up if they’re obviously in the middle of something, but if you do call and they didn’t hear you or are on the landline, they’ll tell you to standby or go again.

Thanks!

Does your flight school offer iatpl Amazing video btw there has never been an instructor as great as you

So after you depart the airport, you can just go fly and do whatever you want such as maneuvers to the west after you clear their airspace? And then when you're ready to go back to the airport, you just contact tower and establish that 2-way radio communications before you enter that airspace right? Also, how would you get flight following to another airport at a class D like this? Would you just contact the local approach or ARTCC freq after departing and ask them for it? Thanks and these videos are a huge help!

When you did your flight control check during the pre-takeoff checklist, I did not see your knees move to be sure the rudder pedals moved correctly. Did you do that and I just couldn’t see?

Also, on the flight control check why, in a Cessna with the fabulous rear window, don’t you look back to be sure the elevator and rudder are moving correctly?

Great video, curious what app your using on your iPad to make notes after listening to ATIS

Any plans for ATP prep or interview prep courses?

Damn Jason, how much did that panel cost you? I really want to do this in my 172N

I feel bad for my instructor (needs to follow shirt/pants dresscode) in 95F heat in the NJ summer. We roll down the taxiway with everything open to cool it down in the 172 haha

This is not an aviation question, but I watch lots of videos where ATC audio to other planes obscures the CFI. I’m wondering if a ‘ two track ‘ audio recorder could be used such that ATC and the CFI audio were on separate audio tracks. Then, when appropriate the ATC audio could be muted or reduced. . . . just an idea 🙂

If you are vfr and your departing class d has a clearance delivery do you call them first or bypass them for ground? Thank you!

Could you post the mock check ride please after it’s over on the 29th!! I have a night cross country so wouldn’t be able to catch it 😂 thanks !

Even if you’re not on Flight Following, is it still a good idea advise Ground what your destination airport is?

In short Initial call from parking: “Ground, this is Cessna xyz, Taxi with ATIS _, West departure” Ground: Cessna xyz, RWY _, taxi via _ Read back: RWY _, taxi via _, Callsign Tower: Callsign _, RWY_, Cleared for Takeoff, Right turn approved. Read back: Cleared for takeoff, RWY _. Done ✅

I keep messing up the clearance to enter controlled airspace to return for landing. Pretty sure it's because we're at the end of the lesson and my head is battered. Could you do a video on this? I was really hoping to be flying yesterday and today, but as it would happen the helicopter is in several pieces getting work done!

Thanks Jason, i thought pilots fly from the left seat

Is there a difference between left traffic and left “closed” traffic. ? Thanks in advance.

Would a licensed pilot get a deviation for taxiing incorrectly like you did? Would it typically be reported to the FAA? Thanks for sharing. We all make mistakes we need to learn from.

Whats up, legs are ripped. LOL

Is there any give away for bose a20?? Well actually i want it for my flight training😁😁..

I'm learning to fly at Republic airport, which is actually under Bravo Airspace of NYC's JFK. I had to learn radio comms before how to land. lol

Hi I'm a new student pilot timing in at 8hrs. Thanks for ur videos. Can i join? I'm from the philippines

Why don’t you turn a 45 degree for runup check so not to put debris on traffic that may taxi behind you?

Ok, you said you like to " cool call " what is the other way to call ?

So this is the SCP foundation class-d radio communications?

Just to be clear, you don't need a handoff from ground in order to switch to tower. Is that just in class D?

Good one, but you haven't turn your Aircraft Cross to the wind, means you can blow on any Aircraft behind you, while you are checking your engines. I guess you are still nervous..

Just for the record... The tower was inappropriate when asking you "What are you doing?" X2 it was a derogatory statement to chastise you and was not constructive and could have been dangerous if you were in the air. A proper statement by him might have been, plane number... It appears you are going the wrong direction... and then discuss it. If it is a dangerous situation he should have said to immediately stop. You should have filed a complaint on him. Remember, you pay his salary.

Hello

you didnt check the rudder

I made the , almost , same mistake. I landed on the wrong runway!!!!!

Hmm asking "What are you doing" to a knew pilot doesn't seem to be very friendly or helpful. A better question the ATC could have asked that would be less dramatic is "One One Juliet, I see you're not on the taxiway I cleared you for, please stop and turn around".
