I’ve retired now but at age 17, I embarked on my flying journey by learning to fly gliders. Only 10 hours in, I got a letter from a university offering me a full ride to law school without the burden of having to spend four years on a first degree. I flew as a passenger from that day forward, except, of course enjoying lawyers’ perks: riding on a Huey skid on an attack run, flying various GA aircraft with the indulgence of various pilots, and crashing an F111 simulator on takeoff (forgot the afterburners). What I derive from your vids and vlogs is just how nice GA folks are, to each other and themselves and their important others. I follow the journeys of various bloggers on Utube. In every case I see personal growth, courtesy, hard work and achievement. It gives me so much faith in the future. Thank you.

I think you guys handled it perfectly. With a response like that just ask if there's anything they want you to do in the meantime and hang out. It was just under 2.5 minutes until he got back to you. Yeah, people get busy. You don't know what pilot you are working with and you could add a lot of undue stress to particular pilots which can make the airspace less safe. Spot on with the feedback in the air about how ATC could have responded differently.

Hey @Schmiiindy why not get your release on the ground? Kevin was 100% correct about that controller’s phraseology (or lack thereof), but why not just call and get your release on the ground and then just check-in normally? I can tell you up there in N90 (NE), you gotta do that or you will be waiting a lot more than 5 minutes (though they might do what Kevin says and give you a local squawk and just say, “remain VFR”).
@pisymbol26 күн бұрын
@RetreadPhoto I’m not going to say you can’t do what she did (depart VFR than activate your IFR plan). I’m just saying in very busy airspace, don’t expect timely service since you are putting a tremendous burden on the controller (what if she needed a full route clearance, what if MVFR and suddenly, clouds!). I agree that the controller was clearly annoyed and his phraseology was dubious at best. With that said, this could have all been avoided on the ground with a simple phone call to the controlling facility.
@dylandemarest468322 күн бұрын
@@pisymboltremendous burden is just false. An FRC requires maybe an extra minute or 2. Especially with a Cessna they’re not going to get some long Q route like jets will. Worst case just get them their code and issue the clearance when you can.

You are missing the point - there was no reason for any of this exchange if she would have just called for clearance and release on the ground. Full stop. I’m not saying the controller here was not rude. I’m saying it could have been avoided entirely.

Sure it could’ve been avoided this time but from the quickness of which he said it, this is a normal response from him. It’s unacceptable. Aircraft picking up IFR in the air will always be around. Inconvenience or not we’re trained to deal with it.

@@dylandemarest4683 Right, but it's not about this guy or whoever VAS Aviation's next victim is for everyone to Monday morning QB without any real learning from it.

Not that this guy was unprofessional or had poor phraseology (even if it's true).

Even if he said something to the effect of "Hey N3802D I'm a bit busy right now as the only controller (or one of two or three controllers) on duty handling X number of aircraft, contact me (or I'll contact you) in about 5 - 10 minutes as I expect to be less busy then and we can get your IFR clearance on the go. Meanwhile maintain VFR" even if his phrasing was not exactly standard/proper, it would have been better than what he actually said. To Kevin's point about gravy - I like a good white or sausage gravy here. Also for Mindy - I enjoy a good Bourbon as well.

The controller was busy AND in a bad mood. Technically, the outcome was correct, you were handled in the right order. As you said, he could have been a bit nicer and clearer. "Squawk 1234, maintain VFR, expect your IFR clearance in 5 minutes." I suppose you could have picked up your IFR clearance on the ground via telephone. Not sure it that was an option from your departure field. As always, fun to ride along. Thanks for sharing your videos.

Had one speak like that once when I was handling radios for a buddy driving his PC-12 into KTEB while in IFR, but it was more just the typical NYC metro area controller that probably has too many aircraft in tightly compated congested airspace. This guy in the video however, seemed like he just didn't wanna play that day. Does anyone feel that if Minday had called for her IFR clearance prior to departure that she might have had a less obstinate controller when calling for it afterwards?

That was fascinating and pretty disturbing. This doesn’t mean anything other than to say, I flew a lot, owned 2 different airplanes with partners maybe before you both were born. Maybe when you were newborns. Here is the deal. I live vicariously through you and others like you. I’d actually like to fly again and maybe one day will figure it out. That exchange caused me pause. I get it, I’m sure that controller was very busy. The exchange was simply not ok. What if you were about to go actual or you knew you were 60 seconds from going actual. It’s like social media in general, be careful what you say and how you say it because you WILL light up the string. That controller was simply out of line. They should never create confusion and unease in the cockpit. Why? Because you are in the air, possibly moments from going actual and he’s on the ground drinking coffee he’s very unlikely to die for unnecessary reasons. That’s just my observation.
