A Lesson In Radio Communications - MzeroA Flight Training

Having variation to your practice is one of the best ways for long term memory retention. In this video, Jason is back flying with Magda while teaching 3 different types of radio communications. A Class D departure, VFR Flight Following, and uncontrolled/pilot-controlled airport operations.

What is funny, and 100% accurate in this video, is the way the "student" keeps looking at the instructor when radio calls are being made. I passed my PPL in Dec 2020 and I must have looked at my instructor 1000 time for some kind of acknowledgement, approval or just help me please. I still say and think that radio communication/radiotelephony is the hardest thing when learning to fly at the start, then one day it just all falls into place. you're both doing amazing.

[@magdariutort6003]

You are so right Slebbal... 100% accurate!! Hahahahaa.. Best wishes to you ✈️🥰

[@nyamburagathuru6821]

👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 me too! I’m training in Nairobi, Kenya for my CPL, and before I got my PPL, I would always look at my instructor wondering WTF? What’s going on here on the radios? I am now way better with the comms! Practice makes perfect and a good pilot is always learning! 😉

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for watching! You're right, radios can be tricky! Keep on practicing and as always please reach out to us at [e-mail]. Fly safe!

[@c.kirchhoefer]

Going through this rn and cannot relate more. New words over the radio=not English to me

[@pdubs5899]

I totally agree that radio calls are the hardest when starting out. It is also the item that can really screw one up if they get a call wrong. Experience talking here. Once made a REALLY bad call before take-off and was a total mess in the air with things I knew how to do afterwards.

[@nicknocturnal652]

Jason you are so positive and enthusiastic when you teach! I wish all instructors were as pleasant

[@magdariutort6003]

Nick, you are so right! He is a beacon of light!! Thank you for your support and love for aviation!!! Please keep us posted on your journey

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for the kind words, Nick!

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

I can’t wait to see her solo, she seems to glow with joy and happiness. She will solo in no time. She is very smart and has a great personality. She seemed pretty comfortable and seems to enjoyed learning. I can tell you have already worked on communications with her. You are a great couple. She will go as far in aviation as she wants to. Great date night.

[@magdariutort6003]

Thank you so much for your support and kind words! Best wishes to you

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@KasualKaos]

Jason: "Don't worry about it, everyone makes mistakes". Magda: "Ocala ground 23MZ". Ground: "23MZ Ocala towe uhhh Ocala ground". Did you slip him a $20? That was right on cue.

[@magdariutort6003]

Hahaha... So funny Kasual !

[@chris.D1]

At a lot of smaller airport towers, its the same controller running both ground and tower. They'll forget which one their on often. Happens from time to time at my home airport (about an hr south of him).

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Hahaha! Funny! Good catch and thanks for watching!

[@drewcollins4533]

Moved schools and radio calls are the only thing stopping me from soloing at the new one. Thank you

[@joro18d93]

Jason, Magda's radio calls are adoooorable. Love the accent and the sweet spirit of her voice. You 2 are a great match.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@AndreaMartinez-qu1be]

I've just decided to get my private license and found your channel. I LOOOOOVE your positive style of training and the vibe you give when you're training as well. By far, this is my favorite aviation related channel!!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Hello! Thanks so much for your support! It means the world to us!

[@KCSMITH86]

LIFE Mastery. That is the only reason why I'm here learning from this channel. With flying skills applied to life you will get where your going alot faster with less traffic etc Key take aways: know where your at in life. Know where your going Place your order Make it clear Write key points down and so much more in this video..... Thank you

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Well said, appreciate you watching!

[@ridgetaylor60]

Our controllers during a tower tour said “takeoff” is their term so pilots need to say “departure” on initial tower contact. Then when they say “cleared for takeoff” read back can include the term “takeoff.” Makes sense.

[@miller745]

Yes absolutely, the ONLY time a pilot should say "takeoff" is reading it back AFTER the tower said it first!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

That is a good point! Standard phraseology is critical for safety. A great case study to look at where non-standard phraseology led to disaster is the KLM accident Tenerife.

[@jbreezy101]

agreed and i noticed that too

[@nyamburagathuru6821]

Absolutely! The same applies in Kenya. We as pilots always say “ready for departure” as we hold short of the active runway. Only when we have line up the runway and are given clearance to take off, do we read back the clearance... “Cleared for take off runway **, right/left turn off, “call sign”!”

[@jimmiemiles2901]

I am a 67 year old GA pilot and aircraft owner. I own an O-1 Birddog and I must admit your videos are great learning tools. I watch them all the time as I do other aviation training videos as well. I only have about 500 hrs but now that restoration on my plane is almost complete I plan to increase those number greatly. I believe a good pilot is always learning or at least should be. Thank you for posting the videos and keep up the good work and best of luck to you with your company.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Glad to help! Thanks for the kind words and good luck on your restoration! Fly safe!

[@Pilot-Ali]

Jason your partner is so humble and you are lucky one to have her. Wish you both happy life. The radio communication was awesome and I have learned more about it today than before. Keep up the good work of uploading these kind of learning videos.

What a small world! Thanks for watching, Kemuel!

[@jeffreyvanhorn1996]

I haven't even started or selected a ground school yet, but Jason is extraordinary; both in knowledge AND articulating what is needed at a given time. I'm just wowed. You make it look so easy, but it isn't exactly easy. But your encouragement of your beautiful lady and also patience and teaching is so good! Thank you both, SO much.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thank you for tuning into the videos! Keep us updated on your aviation journey!

[@mikeh9587]

She did amazing thanks for this video it helped me a lot

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Glad it helped!

[@josephculbertson1108]

Jason, you're great. Your books helped me through my PvT and Ira, but as a CFI... I have to call you out on advising a student to accept A2. Then switching to A1 while leaving that deviation clearance out of the video. LOL I still think you do a great job. Keep it up, brother.

[@waynemayo1661]

Loved the idea the student "only" doing calls without the stress of flying, to. The role playing and note taking before transmitting are good ideas. Her calls were good and got better as was mentioned. BTW--I noticed that Magda had a pretty good scan going, too.

[@magdariutort6003]

Thank you Wayne! You are right, note taking was really helpful! ✈️🥰

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for watching!

[@amg2022]

So honestly one of the things that has helped me the most is entertaining KZbin ATC videos. After hundreds of them my brain just picked it up and with actual training, figured out what were good and bad behaviors. It’s one of my favorite parts of flying lol. Feel like a kid with a walkie talkie.

[@danielmoore3977]

As a UK pilot coming across to do some flying in the states, this was very helpful.

[@gravecrawler1629]

What a relief it was to find this video and channel. I'm taking my first solo in a few days and I know radio communications is my weak point. I was practicing along with this video making the calls to help me out. Great video.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

We're happy to have you here! Best of luck on your solo and keep practicing your radio communications to get your confidence up!

[@kevindavis8175]

I did a discovery flight in Raleigh last week, and my instructor let me handle the radios for the first portion (thanks to videos like this)! However, toward the end, he forgot to turn up the volume for my radio!

[@nyamburagathuru6821]

Oh! The love of your life!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I’m watching this now and have been following MZeroA for a bit. I like that you mention that making mistakes is part of the science of learning! She did such a wonderful job on the comms! Well done to her!😉👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I am starting my flight school in about a month and was told to watch your videos, that I would learn a lot and boy were they right, I love the way you explain things, and make it fun and easy to understand! I’ve loved aviation since I was 3, air races, air shows, anything to do with planes I loved! Growing up I just thought something like flying a plane was out of my reach, but with some good friends encouragement im taking the leap and going for it! Thank you for all you do for the aviation community and these great videos that I’ve already learned so much from! 👊🏻

[@navigatorjack6969]

Brother I just came across your page. I know this is a old video but you and the young lady are a good team. Your positiveness on instruction is great. I am going to use your videos for my youth flight simulation. Keep up the good work.Oh yes I just subscribed.

I'm Italian , watch your video from Italy, your energy is very awesome to teach. Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

[@kevindavis8175]

I took a discovery flight last June in an LSA. My instructor let me handle the radios at KRAC, but he wanted to handle the communications when we went through the Milwaukee Class Charlie airspace since it was my first time flying in a real plane. However, after I told him how familiar I am with using the radio through Flight Simulator sites like VATSIM and PilotEdge, he said I could handle the communications with Approach and Tower next year!

[@skytechuas]

[@grantmcasey4134]

Love when you use radio calls is just like ordering pizza! It’a so true! 👍👌

[@sethregan8734]

A funny moment from my training... I made a not so great landing and called back-taxi. I forgot to take my finger off the push-to-talk button and referring to my landing said, "Man! That really sucked." Thankfully it was a quiet day at N68 and I don't think too many people heard me, but was embarrassing all the same, lol! Thanks for the great video! Looking forward to my PPL checkride, September 27...

[@brianbelliel8792]

Thank you for this. I am nearing at the end of my training in helicopters, those radio calls are nerve racking. This helped calm the anxiety and is helpful in the situation. I will implement the strategy of letting the instructor fly while I make the calls. Just to get comfortable, and yes, it is different in the rotorcraft as far as no free hands but i again thank you

Your videos are so real life flying. "Runway heading"! I would freaked out on a solo if I hear that. Thank you so much for your effort to bring aviation closer and safer to so many of us.

I watched this video while my wife was in the room (she's not a pilot nor interested in becoming one BTW) while she was working on something for work. I caught her looking up, watching, taking the lesson in, and actually getting some take-a-ways! She said she would absolutely have to write the calls down like Magda did and was so impressed with your calm, reassuring teaching style. I'll be watching more with her so maybe someday I can get her to fly with me. And, we both think Magda did a fantastic job on the radios!!

[@angelkern]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I stopped training for my PPL about 4 years ago. Watching this video I realized that mastering flight is the final step in taking control of my life. I need to do an online ground school refresher and then get back into training. I've got about 20 hours to go unless I have to start over. My last flight involved 5 touch and go's at Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania. The radio communications had me rattled. I think if that I watch and perfect the radio communication I can finish my hours and pass my exam.
