Beginners Guide to ATC communications flying from Jersey to Guernsey in Microsoft Flight Simulator

[@ElMarcosTrollPA]

As a not native english speaker. Thank you. I didn't realize about how ATC works. Maybe it will help be to improve my Aviation English skillls.

[@psihypo]

Interacting with ATC is pretty cool! i want to stop using the automatic ATC so this is helpful. I'm circumnavigating the world in the 172 (300nm at a time) and removing assists as i figure things out

[@brelade]

Jersey bean here, thank you for this amazing video.

[@Parable_One]

I really like that you went through the pre flight checklist as well. Instructive and informative. Thank you.

[@cookiemonster2189]

Great beginners guide to ATC and flying the plane , thanks

[@peterdepra]

Excellent. Well presented, great content and, most important, no waffle. 👍

[@RISCy27]

Is the Jersey Tower also responsible for Guernsey Traffic? I was quite confused that you were talking to Jersey ATC on departure, leaving their airspace, just to tune in to Jersey Tower on a different frequency to request clearance to land on Guernsey.

[@mattkent2651]

Excited to get going on my next lesson Jonathan. Thanks!

[@easleydp]

So useful, thank you. I shall try and replicate that in my next flight, but will watch your G1000 beginner's guide first.

[@jonbeckett]

Good luck!

[@johnnielawrence420]

well you could have edited out that runway incursion but you owned it lol...learned alot thx for the time spent

[@jonbeckett]

I never edit anything out :)

[@FrankWoodPhotography]

Absolutely superb video. I’m wanting to know all about ATC lingo and this journey puts it all into practice.

[@craigharkins4669]

Amazing video mate. Super helpful 😀. I absolutely love this game. I've learnt so much about flying from it.

[@mikemcgibney]

This is brilliant and exactly what I was curious to see - about to look into buying a machine to run MSFS. It looks so great. If you have any tips for add-ons etc I'd love to hear them. Thanks for the interesting video!

[@danielwalton4518]

Hey there, Thankyou for this video, I hadn't got a clue. Have been flying in MSFS for years so very keen to try any multiplayer. It can feel a lonely sky with no one talking. Very much keen to practice formations, fun and difficult challenges. However am struggling to join discord as it seems to be very popular. Will keep watching your video to learn more. Great presentation, still like aviation joining a multiplayer, mostly complicated lol. Appreciated.

[@John-K638]

Excellent tutorial.

[@jonbeckett]

Cheers

[@properanimals1665]

This video really helped me, thank you

[@josephgreen4217]

I have to say that after trying other atc software i find the default works good with fs trafic and ga trafic.

[@regal163]

Great informative video, thanks👍

[@jonbeckett]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Philmo888]

Great video - thanks. I noted in the MSFS flight plan it worked and arc (or sort of approach curve) at each runway. When I practised with the same departure and arrival the flight plan was a straight line between both locations no curved approach. Any ideas why this might be ? thanks

[@expatrik2328]

Great video. Just starting out with MSFS. Just curious when you switched over to the Guernsey tower, it looked like you were still talking to Jersey in the text box on the screen. It wasn't until you contacted Guernsey ground it showed Guernsey. Is that an error in the sim, or real-life situation where one tower may cover two small airports?

[@steve37uk]

thankyou that has helped me a lot

[@voicewithinthevoid]

ATC will give you a shortened call sign unless there are other aircraft with similar lettering. Also, we never say goodbye or thank you when communicating to ATC. Its about quick and clear communication. MFS needs a better ATC.

[@jonbeckett]

It also varies from country to country.

[@EgorElectionaire]

It varies by country, here in Thailand we always say thank you as a customary when leaving the control zone frequency, it’s also a clear indicator that the aircraft is leaving the control zone, which avoids confusion.

[@ImShakesbeard]

landed it like butter!

[@jentjedragonfly]

Thank you so much for this useful video. And a little question for you. How can you set the ATC map to appear on the right when you open it? Mine always appears right in front of me, which is not nice.

[@jonbeckett]

No idea

[@BeowulfGaming]

whats that software you have with the flight plan, is it free? where do i get it and is there a guide on how to use it? looks quite complicated, however, super handy and neat :)

[@jonbeckett]

LittleNavMap - it's free. Google it :)

[@chrisowen1418]

Every time I want to open up the panel to talk to ATC I lose control of the plane. Surely there is a way to do this but still be able to control the yoke?

[@GabrielSykes]

Hey man, great video. Some unrelated input though, you may want to look in to adding a compressor effect to your mic's audio when editing your videos, or buying a hardware compressor to put between your mic and computer. Your voice is going between loud and quiet a lot and a compressor will stop people from having to change their volume every time.

[@jonbeckett]

Yeah - I need to get a decent headset - using a boom microphone is a bit of a nightmare.

[@aviaticguy-2024]

The map that you have for looking where to taxi how is it called and can I get this also on xbox

[@levisantos2465]

THANKS, that i just what i needed, you explained complicated things to an idiot like me

[@mikemcgibney]

Quick question - was all the scenery stock MSFS or did you use any external add-ons or DLC please? Thanks!

[@jonbeckett]

It was all stock :)

[@mikemcgibney]

That's really lovely to hear that! Thanks!@@jonbeckett

[@desmcgeough4313]

Me thinks it still sometimes sticks no matter what kind of rig or connection you have during sunset and dawn flights.

[@jonbeckett]

Who knows what causes it.

[@alexcoleridge1476]

Really helpful

[@jonbeckett]

Glad it helped

[@ScreamingEagle101st]

How do you get the atc to direct you with altitude and speed and ILS landing???

[@karlhungus545]

I thought it was Guernsey? Why is everything still 'Jersey'? 23:50

[@MmpRail]

Hi mate, very clear, no waffling - straight to the point 🤣. What software did you use for the map and airport taxiways etc? I think you referred to it as ‘LavMap?’

[@Uramanpro]

It's called LittleNavMap

[@DB-zp9un]

Any is it a glitch or why didnt you talk to Guernsey upon freq change or does it not have a tower so you still were talking to Jersey?

[@jonbeckett]

Good question - I have no idea without returning to investigate

[@paulguilbert3264]

@@jonbeckett Fault in MSFS2020.

[@paulguilbert3264]

Guernsey has its own full ATC etc... I know, I fly a C182 from here.

[@paulguilbert3264]

And that GA parking doesn't exist, and never has! It'll get sorted in time...

[@TheRubsimonster]

There is no voice from ATC, only the texts. I've checked all my sound settings and didn't find anything wrong. Any idea?

[@CataRobu]

I have the same problem. Does anybody know why? i got only the text

[@CataRobu]

Did you find out what it was?

[@TheRubsimonster]

Nope!

[@TurboWojciech]

Hi! How do you have real time map 12:18 ?

[@Stefann-mk2il]

What program do you use for that additional map?

[@Derkiboi]

It's little nav map

[@DB-zp9un]

Why did it not start the turn earlier upon departure and you switched to GPS mode?

[@jonbeckett]

No idea - I would have to take a look at it.

[@DB-zp9un]

@@jonbeckett Cool thanks.. I was just curious if it was actually something that should happen or not.. Enjoying your videos.

[@NBATIPS]

what map are you using to see you live like that?

[@jonbeckett]

It's a free app called LittleNavMap.
