VFR Flight Following into Class B (With ATC Audio) | Cessna 182

Today I'm in my 182 headed back from Waco, Texas (KACT) to Addison airport (KADS) which sits under the Class Bravo shelves of the DFW airspace, some of the busiest airspace in the country. Flying in and around Class B can be intimidating, especially while flying VFR, but it doesn't have to be if you know what to expect and become at least somewhat familiar with the airspace.
In this video we want to demonstrate that it doesn't have to be difficult to fly into Class B, even while around other major airports. Just stay calm and confident and ask for help on the radio if you need it.

Good quality audio and no music! This is gold for a student pilot like me!

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!

I love your videos. You explain everything so well and use visuals very well. Your audit is very clear and the videos are not to long. Very well done.

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy!

[@nelsonbrandt7847]

Awesome landing!

[@edwardwalsh5982]

Another great video Charlie. I have enjoyed every one I have seen.

[@jasonfranks715]

Nice landing!!

[@MrEhab1966]

Nice smooth landing 👌

[@jayh3158]

Your channel is way underrated. Just found your channel yesterday and now I'm watching every single video. Wish I could go to flight school after all this covid stuff ends. Thanks for the great videos

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Wow! Thanks so much. Really appreciate it and I'm glad you are enjoying the channel!

[@dgasmire]

Great stuff, Charlie. Thanks for throwing the sectional chart on the vid. I have pilot friends who won't fly into Class Bravo....

[@robertbankhead8661]

Great video Thanks for the show!

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Sure thing! Glad you enjoyed.

[@SimsSmith]

Amazing video. Very easy to follow. Thanks for additional chart and explaining what was happening.

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Thanks for saying so! Glad you found it helpful.

Busy airspace and great content for those who don’t often fly near or within Class Bravo. I would like to hear others’ opinions on the use of the phrase “with you”. I was taught and try to omit that when contacting subsequent controllers and just state: 916DF level 4,500 or whatever.

I got a kick out of that Evektor SportStar you were parked next to @ Waco. I got to go up in one about 5 years ago for a flight along the coastline of northern California. Was a beautiful flight in a tiny little bird! Loved every second of it.

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Haha good eye! Sounds awesome!

If I were to start an air taxi service, I'd name it "Trillion Air" just for my planes' callsigns.

[@AirstripBum]

Very nice landing!

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Thank you!

[@knoxflier5171]

Good job Charlie, love your content. Nice class B video. I’ve yet to go through class B but likely to do Memphis this year to visit family. Fly a 182 myself, H model. Enjoy your channel!

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Thanks! It's not nearly as hard as some people make it out to be. Familiarizing yourself with the area in advance is also very helpful so you feel familiar going in.

Such a good landing..perfect...great flight.. Im subscribing

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Awesome! Glad to have you as a subscriber!

[@WolfPilot]

What a helpful video! I'm hitting the subscribe button

[@AirplaneAcademy]

thanks! Much more to come

[@MarionBlair]

Great video! Subscribed. Can you tell me what audio recording setup you have for your video. I'm struggling trying to get it right in the C172. I'm using a Y adapter off the panel like a lot of people but don't seem to get the same results, ha. I'm wondering if it's my recorder which is a Zoom H1n.

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Thanks for the comment and subscription! I recommend watching my video on how I record in flight audio and video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5iwh3Z9bdGEj6s

[@MsLisaN]

"With you?" and "In the box" I'm practicing at NOT using.

[@tomcorwine3091]

Another nice one! There were times, though, that you spoke so fast I couldn’t understand. At 8:14, what did you say?

[@goboulder]

I think he said, "Continue inbound, 6DF".

[@firepilot109]

Continue inbound for rwy 33

[@ele4853]

A friend of mine "flight following is easy to fly through class B airspace" watching this video I can say with confidence! Sure! LOL Yea right! NO, no class B for me. Thank you. WTH!

[@doctaran]

if your going to make an instructional video on ATC communications do it correctly... "With you" is discourage verbiage and unnecessary and redundant and i try hard to avoid this bad habit; and won't watch your videos because of this.
