BUSY Approach into the "Super Charlie" (Almost made a Southwest GO AROUND)

[@cuttingconversations5161]

There isn't another channel that I look forward to seeing a new video drop more than Aviation 101. Rock on man. It also helps me in my current flight training.

[@matthewmartin7639]

Maaaaan this brought back memories. I used to work at BNA for about 5 years. Yes it is an extremely busy airport. And would you believe that there is a legit full service flight school that operates there?! It's called Tennessee Flight Training (TFT). They do brand new 0 time all the way to multi and everything in between. I was the A&P/Manager of Maintenance Operations there. It's over at Hangar 7, literally just a few hangers away from signature and jet right. I'm on a first name basis with most of the people on that side of the airport. I definitely did not expect to see that little corner featured in a video like this. Soooooo many amazing memories on the GA side of BNA.

[@blakesflyinglessons]

Hi Matthew..... I remember you from my training time at Nashville Flight Training. I trained there with Kat. Merry Christmas!

[@MeanderingMotoMonk]

Very well done, as always. Your mastery of the aircraft, excellent command of communications, and smooth and informative commentary is exemplary. The bonus of seeing Dad flying Niner Niner One was a real treat, and the sharing of a memorable father-son moment in time was icing on the cake. Safe travels.

[@murdock615]

Did most of my training out of BNA. Awesome experience learning in that environment. Best controllers around!

[@Chris-n5r6l]

I just wanted to say I really enjoy you videos, some of the best on KZbin. Watching them the last couple of years inspired me to get into flying and as of Oct 2024 I am a pilot at 61 years young.

[@miloswanson9646]

I started my flight training almost 50 years ago at what is now a Class B - KCLE - Cleveland Hopkins Int'l, which back then was a major hub for United airlines, and minor for American and Northwest. Back then, us small fry GA aircraft were still -ummmm... tolerated would be a good word to use here - and many were still hangared there along with a couple of flight schools. No more. Anyway, you REALLY had to be on your toes with respect to radio calls! What made that difficult was that headset use for GA aircraft was rare - much less modern noise cancelling headsets! All we had back then was the wing-root speaker by the pilot's left ear, and the CB-style (again, showing my age!) microphone clipped by the trim wheel! That led to many a missed radio call!!! Now I have a noise-cancelling headset and a mic button on the yoke. Fantastic! GPS and Autopilot? Quantum leap in stress relief!!! Josh, just ask your dad about flying in 'the old days'.... Mine's long gone, but earned his PPL in what he called 'air-knockers' (Aeroncas😏 ) back in 1950!

[@JumboShr1mp]

your changing the name of the channel again too New name is Mr. and Mrs. Aviation101. Love it!!!!!!!😀

[@daves.9076]

Glad to see your Dad flying as PIC. Always appreciate your perspective and look forward to seeing you integrate your Dad .

[@ChrisA7X89]

No wonder there's that much "jet traffic" in Nashville with all those country musicians and stuff

[@alaskanstrat6618]

7:54 "80991 squak...jesus christ" . Never heard of that squak code before lol

[@charadremur333]

Lol

[@martinlynn3699]

That code would be 777 or maybe 333, or maybe just 1.

[@dansinnett1891]

😂 I had to skip back 10 seconds to make sure I heard that right the first time. Pilots aren’t the only ones that get caught in a brain fart and your thumb in the button. LOL

[@misspilotlexie]

I heard “actually disregard” 😂

[@misspilotlexie]

Amazing controllers. I’m a CFI out of BNA and they are so kind to our student pilots.

[@philhill184]

Thank you so much for these videos! This non-pilot really enjoys flying with you!!

[@RossoFormula]

Flown into KBNA multiple times; it's not that busy...maybe for airline guys...nice vid.

[@N412BE]

That work for your father’s brain is priceless in extending his healthspan.

[@drewedge1283]

Josh is the BEST. - I don’t know of anyone better on KZbin. And when I grow up (over 50) I want a tail number ending in ‘Niner Niner One’.

[@pilotmattincanada]

I’m super happy to hear your input on the Bose headset. I have been super happy with my Lightspeed Zulu 1 and have been debating whether to change to Bose set. As people are always saying they are great. But I don’t know who Bose had give a set too or is paying them to say good things.

[@toxifyfnlive7099]

In the Beginning of the video you see N825SE on radar THAT IS ME AND MY DADS AIRPLANE!!!!!!

[@donchafin8150]

The respect you show your Dad is awesome! Carry on.

[@BlueSideUp77]

Loved ones notified is a unique and interesting checklist item. I started working at a new tower, and questioned once if Ford ever landed here. :)

[@MichaelLloyd]

I always make sure that the I have the time to watch your videos when I can give them my full attention. You never disappoint Josh. Thanks a ton!

[@Joe_CT]

Can’t wait to see the year in review!

[@CLdriver1960]

You brought back some great memories of flying with my sons. Airplanes are expensive, but memories are priceless.

[@EDLEEPHOTO]

As a non-aviation person, I truly love watching your channel. It motivates me to learn to fly. I wish you were local to me.

[@_FNQ]

Enjoyed every part of this flight. The higher workload, radio work and the flight back with your father as PIC. Great upload👌

[@kevinantoniomorrison2415]

Great video Josh, as always and very educational 🎉

[@ki4nge4]

Did he (ATC)say Squawk "Jesus Christ" ? 7:57

[@ravagetalon]

Might have been "disregard" but... yeah I heard it too.

[@craiglachman1379]

I too.

[@Captndarty]

Yes, he did

[@xfirehurican]

Yep

[@ki4nge4]

Amazing Video Josh !!! Thanks for all you do.... And those LED's are Awesome 😎

[@mikespeers]

I like seeing those Slings in your intro.

[@evanhammons430]

Loving these rapid fire uploads. Thanks josh.

[@cjsims3000]

I really enjoyed your video story and flight. It was great to see how you and your dad work together.

[@tonyfindlay1225]

Keep up the good work, greetings from Perth Western Australia

[@brennenfitzgerald]

7:56……. Talk about an Angel Flight. I think it’s a message to ya, Josh.

[@bigwtx]

This one was really good I loved the format and comms

[@Houster_]

Thank you Josh! Amazing as always

[@iamdaws]

Love your work Josh! Amazing

[@LinusHaferkemper]

Thanks for this video, Josh! I still am thinking about getting my flying license (over here in Europe) and your amazing videos are very inspiring. Thank you for 2024 and for sharing your learnings. I wish you and your loved ones a nice break and a great start into 2025! Excited for your announcement!

[@adamfoye8586]

Great video! I train out of KMQY which is under the outer shelf of BNA's Super Charlie so its nice to see familiar skies.

[@Ifly1976]

I work and fly out of BNA, it can get hairy. If you’re going to fly in, it’s recommended calling ahead to get the push times. If you’re not comfortable in busy airspace, fly into John tune and grab an uber. Smyrna and Lebanon are also close. BNA filed for bravo a few years ago. When the new tower gets built and the construction is completed, Nashville will be class bravo. I did my solo cross country through Ohio county….

[@johnopalko5223]

If the distortion is due to clipping in your audio recorder, you could try placing an attenuator (pad) in the input line. That way you can have the level high enough to hear in your headset without over driving your recorder.

[@kimghanson]

Josh, your radio work sounds more professional than the airliners. It also sounded like ATC appreciated that.

[@blakesflyinglessons]

Hi Josh.... I loved seeing you and your dad at BNA. I began taking my PPL lessons there when I was only 12-years-old. I love BNA! Bring Chelsea to visit M02. I'll treat you to lunch at Back Alley Bar-B-Que.

[@KingKo0]

Josh is having a baby!!!!

[@acn-70]

Thank you. Regards from Portugal.

[@thomasmixson7064]

Good flying, Kimosabi!

[@xfirehurican]

*BRAVO ZULU!*

[@rickunruh8132]

Dad has his shit together. Nice job.

[@klindy_07]

So this is what you were doing while I was playing with your pup!

[@graysono]

Flapless landing at BNA? Help you to not be a hood ornament on an airlines jet behind you. Your Grandmother would be so proud! Another awesome watch Josh!

[@AirborneGeek]

Love it!!

[@midwestbushco]

Great video Josh! My family is right down the road from you! we fly right over on our way in to M20!

[@johnbaker8512]

Without knowing your recording setup .... Try finding a 32 bit float recorder... The gain doesn't matter with a 32 bit recorder (you can also turn the gain down on your recorder)... What you experienced is clipped audio and you're right, once you clip there's no recovering it.

[@borenkd]

I’m glad you recognized that the Bose’s sounded like they were “clipping” when you speak. The lightspeed’s sound so much better!

[@swiftadventurer]

interesting... I'm in the market

[@JBalloonist]

It’s a “super Charlie” because they expanded the size of the rings. I think they would have liked to make it a Bravo but it doesn’t meet all of the requirements yet (passenger volume I think…don’t remember for sure). There is an airport in southern Florida that is getting converted to a super Charlie as well.

[@Thepilot-C182]

This is a nice decompress after my check ride discontinue

[@freedomrider30]

A+ J!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

[@L2FlyMN]

One day, my dream of flying cross country will be realized!!!! I won’t give up on my dream!!!!

[@thatdude3943]

For the Bose, did you try taking off the hat? I’ve found they do require a good seal to do the best ANR. Haven’t flown with a Lightspeed to know how they handle the break in seal

[@EricEsser]

I’ve had so much trouble with audio level with my Bose A30s. Always have to turn the volume way up, and thought it was just me.

[@meese1k]

cleared direct big daddy

[@ryanawilson8549]

Down to 3. Up to 5. That felt unnecessary 😕

[@Fast351]

Interesting on the audio issue with the A20s. I use DC OneX and never really notice if I'm flying with someone using Bose but then I guess I wouldn't. Josh, do you notice any difference in fit and comfort between the Bose/Lightspeed/DC? I picked the DC specifically because they were more comfortable. BTW, it's so cool you and your dad share this! He looked pretty darn proficient at the controls and on the radio. Does he fly much?

[@ChrisRocha1672]

06:08 looked like you had some sort of annunciator message right as you rotated but I couldnt see what it was

[@flywithhunter]

I made a southwest go around there 2 days ago!😂. I held for 35 minutes waiting on a gap.

[@waynebloom4317]

Hey Josh I follow all your Video's and love your content. Was wondering about your take on the all the recent "Drone" activity?

[@RaceMentally]

Squawk “Jesus Christ” lol

[@thegloomcookie2321]

That's the upside of being based out of a 1300 foot runway....every landing is a spot landing there 😃😝

[@KingKo0]

I use Bose, my boss who flies next to me uses the lightspeeds and his earmuffs won’t stay on. They’re terrible quality

[@hillcrestannie]

I don’t think I’ve ever disagreed with you but I will say I Love my A20 headset. 2 years ago at Airventure I bought the Delta Zulu because of all the features they have. I never wear them . Worst $1000.00 I ever spent.

[@EchoKilo]

So, why isn’t KBNA a class bravo?

[@Zalaniar]

So THAT'S what the audio issue was! I noticed last video it sounded a bit off, but I couldn't place it. And, this video I had to turn my volume down as soon as the intercom audio started, which is not the norm for your videos (usually audio balance is SPOT ON in these!) so it's good to know I'm not crazy 😅

[@wilson4328]

Hmmmm, a low wing?

[@Timoftx1776]

Bose was once king of audio but like any other product made in China the quality is really low.

[@thomasmixson7064]

BOZE BUMMER. I dropped about $1,200 for my daughter's. For that much, I expected more

[@AVIATION4568]

Reminds me of many great memories too short lived with good people and awesome Airplanes! (loving these uploads with the morning coffee haha)
