ATC Live Cessna Citation XLS Landing Miami Executive 360 turn on the Localizer

[@adwilson1984]

I happen to be that very busy controller working MIA south departures and TMB arrivals. It's great seeing this from the other side. Like a lot of the comments stated and they're correct, this is a very busy position full of tons of VFR traffic. In this particular situation and it happens occasionally, after I cleared you for the ILS 9R approach a VFR not in communications with ATC turned in front of you guys and intercepted the localizer. It's often times very difficult vectoring jet traffic into TMB alongside VFRs(training), not talking to anyone, and you have no idea what their next move will be. As far as the sloppy controlling comment, the approach clearance was cancelled and you can't "pre-plan" for a VFR turning in front of jet traffic. In that situation, our first priority is keep the pilot safe and the aircraft separated. I really enjoyed the video!

[@radbcc]

Cap, you and Mike define "Pro". The second Mike had trouble locating the Cessna, he put lights on and conducted the search. You guys are my fav team....

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

Now that's some busy airspace. How ATC keeps everything sorted is amazing.

[@richardmcdaniel93]

It's fun riding along with you. Thank you.

[@Towert7]

The driving in Miami is HELL and I guess it should come as no surprise that the air traffic would be very busy, too. Wow! Crazy!

[@hectormuzquiz5277]

Well done Cap't and Mike...busy!

[@fxpthl]

I guess that is what you call a "crowded sky" , yes? Amazing how you guys keep track of all the "voices" coming through your headphones!

[@WindowSeatFlyer]

Just hearing all the radio communication is exhausting. Trying to fly the darn plane AND hear all that south Florida radio traffic must be a real challenge. Great video as always, Captain.

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks and it is.

[@jerplane400]

Great landing there Jim! You and Mike are truly "Pro's"

[@jamescallaway2907]

Watching this video is great proof of professional pilots in action. Great job to you and Mike. I love these unedited version cause they really show people just how busy the cockpit can get on approach.

[@claytonrichardson2740]

As an aspiring pilot I always look forward to seeing you post new content. I especially enjoy how you've generously offered us glimpses of what its like to be a pilot once you've landed and get to spend some time on the ground. Thank you for all the amazing work you do!

[@call911forcookies2]

That's why you wanna keep those good old steep turn skills sharp! Nice job on the approach!

[@paultaylor9939]

Crazy busy ATC I bet u we're glad to be on ground cheers

[@errezeta55]

Excellent video! Enjoyed the teamwork and the excellent communication. Thanks also for the great sound quality!

[@jackvisser]

TY for Brightening Our Lives

[@jake2213b]

I heard you say 2 small aircraft went down in Texas it made me think close to 15 years ago I just missed seeing to hit each other were I was working at. They used to be a small airport about 10 mile north of LUK. One had wing over and the other one wing under and One was climbing and the other landing and they must have not seen each other. And watching you looking for that plane brought it back.

[@wbball15]

Nicely done, Jim. You can see clearly that you and Mike work well together.

[@scotty11782]

Thanks Captmoonbeam & Mike

[@captmoonbeam]

You're very welcome.

[@nashguy207]

Wow got a little busy coming in on approach. I agree with mike not sure how they keep up and keep all those planes straight i got a little confused for a couple of minutes. LOL easy for me to do. Thanks for sharing very interesting!!!. Have a great day and God Bless!!!

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks. I imagine every controller over 40 is bald from all the hair they've been pulling out.

[@fancybobbybob]

Thanks for posting Captain, that 360 was kinda neat!

[@davidpatterson5617]

Great video, enjoyed the ride. Seemed like a good situation to have two pilots, very busy.

[@bendav]

Enjoyed the video, but holy cow, that's a busy airspace!

[@belfastlad55]

Very busy ATC thanx for another great video.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks

[@brianbarker4739]

The XLS does not like to be in the "weeds." You guys did a great job negotiating the busy airspace. 360s do not save fuel but provide safety spacing. Not that it is normal procedure, 360 on a cleared ILS, it was entertaining and kept you sharp.

[@captmoonbeam]

you do what you gotta do in that kind of traffic situation.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

That's some busy airspace there! Great way for us to learn - thanks for posting.

[@captmoonbeam]

You're welcome.

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Wow!!! Had to take it back with a 360 turn....It is busy getting into there...

[@BigPig8747]

Nicely done. Thanks for posting.

[@rogermoore27]

I have started to look at your videos daily now

[@mark6121]

Gotta love when all hell breaks loose on the radio.

[@DonAv8s]

Flying in FL, from my limited experience, is sort of like the Wild West (due to all the traffic) at times. Imagine if FL had mountains and terrain like Aspen... Thankfully its mostly flat at at sea level. That 360 turn on the LOC was an interesting twist and nicely done.

[@seagullsbtn]

Thats one serious busy ATC

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Don. That's an interesting twist to throw in mountains. I think with that scenario a lot of the Florida flight schools would move and the traffic would be reduced.

[@simcaesar5617]

This was awesome.

[@JJLouisiana]

Always an adventure down there. Nice work guys!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks

[@yurandicianni1055]

Wished I knew you were in town! I train out of KTMB and would've loved to buy you coffee and pick your brain! Keep the videos coming!

[@rockroll9473]

Enjoyed that,thank you.

[@ChrisB257]

Fascinating Jim - tends to help illustrate, there's not that much room for pilots to go to sleep, even if on auto! I reckon, bit like driving, ''expect the unexpected'' is always a good way to operate! Guess the 360 added a bit to the gas burn. NICE landing. :)

[@Edmonton54]

Glad to see you in the big blue sky!!! :)

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Yeah, you two made so room that was needed....Nice...

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Nice.. Getting a little busy coming in...

[@michae8jackson378]

Wow that reminds me of flying into LaGuardia....always SO busy....had to be on your game...well done you guys! Professional pilots! 😎👍

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks Michael.

[@prereed]

Whew! That was busy. Sounded just a bit like Oshkosh. Do a 360and rejoin!

[@ChrisMuncy]

I can imagine the sigh of relief once you and Mike landed. hehehe

[@captmoonbeam]

Always nice to get on the ground.

[@smokendt]

It just goes to show that there's an ass in every crowd and we just found the one in this crowd... Keep up the great work Captmoonbeam

[@billyray3761]

I agree with Mike. How they keep all those planes apart is a mystery. You have to fly your aircraft and every other aircraft around you.

[@captmoonbeam]

Keeping track of what's going on around you can be a challenge.

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Yeah, with Miami International and other airports close it gets real busy...

[@NicholasQuickLiveStreams]

great video i hope to see you in Kgrr soon

[@captmoonbeam]

I used to go there a lot.

[@michaelcarson2826]

Excellent video. Really stepping up your game. Well done.

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks Michael.

[@crjsim]

Nice action awesome video thank you!

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks.

[@MachSpeed767]

Stress level 100!!!! That’s out of control

[@jom5826]

I miss that airlort were i did my flight traning tamiami airport

[@jameswikstrom4174]

I have never heard ATC request a landing aircraft to do a 360 and reestablish the localizer but what do I know. The only thing I know for sure is I will not be applying for that controller 's job! He has a full plate but did an excellent job ! I don't believe that would be an airport to land for a novice pilot!

[@CTBtoday]

James Wikstrom happens all the time here in Florida. I have had to do it two or three times on the same approach.

[@willyt7241]

James Wikstrom actually the controller did a poor job. A 360 on final is the result of poor planning and judgement. A 360 degree turn to rejoin in no way ensure acft track when rejoining is 30 degrees or less of the final as required.

[@Skylane_Pilot]

It’s happened to me at CXO.

[@ralphwoodard609]

Man, was that ever a busy ATC this flight. Safe travels and safe flying. Ralph in Colorado. ✈️

[@WillFastie]

In addition to the 360, it sounded like you got thrown a waypoint you didn't expect. Two curve balls?

[@lutherlewis6792]

Busy, busy, busy!

[@GaryMCurran]

Great video, Miami area is really busy! So, let me ask you a question. You called the glideslope alive, at which point did you transition from the gauges to visual? I mean, the runway was visible for miles away, but I'm curious, given your training and how you fly, when you started looking outside?

[@koatlga]

how do you keep up with all the ATC instructions? Smooth landing.

[@Vagabondo-fs6qu]

Well that was just a little bit different.

[@joseluisosorio7216]

what is the limitation for the thrust reversers operation?

[@19brandon66]

Very cool video. But, l'm glad it's over...I feel wore out... 😀

[@johnclow3476]

Do you always fly with the same guy as copilot when using 2 man crew?

[@rillitocoyote2884]

once NextGen is fully implemented, will much of the voice ATC communication disappear or be significantly reduced?

[@captmoonbeam]

I think some will be reduced but couldn't guess how much.

[@bigfred1696]

You said "auto pilot off", I automatically said.....yaw to go......ha ha

[@captmoonbeam]

You get a Gold for attention and retention 😀 Thanks Fred.

[@johnreid859]

360 on final indicates poor atc planning. Sounded like a busy guy.

[@captmoonbeam]

they were very busy. We had targets all over our TCAS

[@willyt7241]

ATC service was poor, 360 on final results from poor initial judgement of overtake of preceeding traffic. Also, controller ripped you off the approach without officially cancelling your approach clearance and issuing an altitude to maintain! Very sloppy on the controllers part. Pilot remained professional.

[@waukeshapilot6462]

OMG!!!!! The radio chatter, Geez. All those guys talking METRIC didn't help either. Pro all the way.

[@jeffhubbard4688]

That's why I pay for a seat in the back. :)

[@captmoonbeam]

Less stressful but the view isn't as good.

[@llaughridge]

*"These ATC videos are an excellent way for student pilots to familiarize themselves with the terminology that pilots and the air traffic controllers use while communicating during the flight."* True, but be careful about setting a bad example. Stop saying "point" in altitudes ("seven point five" is not correct phraseology), don't say "to" in headings or altitudes, and please, please, please eliminate "...with you..." in all cases.

US vs. Europe (or ICAO for that matter).
