Polish stewardess said „Oh mother, how cold it is” when she opens the door. She meant „Holy mother” but said only „mother”, in Poland we use it like „Oh God”. Sandwiches, candy’s, alpine milk chocolates… Polish hospitality even when we’re not home 😅 Greetings from Poland 🫶🇵🇱

[@bendybus5165]

those polish chocolates are to die for, they are the best chocolates I have ever had. I bought some from an import store in Darwin, Australia, and I've never been able to buy them since! Might have to come to poland one day just to buy some more.😀

Alpejskie Mleczko made by German Milka - that's not Polish at all! As a child we had this product called PTASIE MLECZKO made mainly by Polish WEDEL. Then Swiss Milka entered to our market with their imitation of this product called "Alpine Milk". How this can be a Polish present? - I don't get it.

[@rnzoli]

I noticed that your phraseology is "runway 11/29 (is) free" (instead of "cleared to land" and "cleared for takeoff" ) both at landing and at departure, so you are working in the tower as an AFISO (aerodrome flight information service officer). This explains how you are even allowed to do all that stuff. Some AFISO''s I met even handle payments for landing fees, fuel, parking etc. I love these regional airports, where big jets and smaller aircraft mix (I fly the small ones). And whenever I have the chance, I like to meet people in the tower and have a great respect for the really few ground personnel as well, for their versatility and cooperation with us.

[@this_sabby]

Never knew about this, thanks mate! Im an avgeek, smarter everyday!!

[@Galastin]

I assume this has something to do with level of responsibility? Like, he is there to inform on conditions but the pilot is responsible for all movement of the aircraft. Hence, he is not actually "controlling" or ordering the pilot to do anything.

[@WhenTheTucker]

@@Galastinbasically. The airport at Catalina Island in California basically operates like this. They’re a private airport but allow anyone to come in (provided you can land).

[@ekpq53]

Then you're going to love SGAS. At that airport, C-150s and other medium-sized planes land among B747s and 787s, not to mention that a military squadron of at least 3 planes had just taken off a few meters from where helicopters are taking off, haha. All this while on the active runway, a C152 is practicing touch-and-goes... and I almost forgot about the other one that's doing a 360, waiting for its turn to land, which is also in training. Those controllers are masters.

[@rnzoli]

@@Galastin yes, the main dividing line between air traffic "control" service and "information" service is the responsibility of aircraft SEPARATION, i.e., preventing them from mid-air collisions. With "control service", the air traffic controller is responsible for the separation, with "information" service, the pilots are responsible to separate themselves from each other visually. (Mind you, this is a very rough explanation, there are different levels of control and information services provided in airspace classes from A to F.) But it doesn't mean "information" can be disregarded in a negligent manner, because the air law often require pilots to make certain decisions and actions based on the information (e.g., not to conduct 2 instrument approaches in low visibility weather simultaneously).

[@zevakikel]

Mattias, you are the real one-man army! Thanks for sharing!

Mattias and Andrew Camarata are brethern spirits: highly informative and entertaining videos. Two of the best channels on KZbin in my humble opinion.

[@imienazwisko7052]

If you're impressed by camarata, how about john from farmcraft01. This man can really do everything, from weapons production, through a sawmill, to car and machine mechanics. In the meantime, he dug a pond and has a cow farm. Camarata only operates machines and supervises simple construction works. See also Jesse Muller, the guy has a construction company and shows a lot of projects, he also repairs machines, does earthworks and much more. Andrew is a little guy next to them.

[@ronm3245]

I was a Navy electrician over 40 years ago. I remember doing exactly the same kind of troubleshooting while chasing down electrical faults. Oddly enough, the flight deck lighting always worked flawlessly. Two memorable occasions stick with me. One time was in the fire room on top of a main boiler. It was probably 140 °F. We could only work there for 5 minutes at a time. It seemed as if I had to drink my own body weight of water afterwards. The other time was in the Aleutian Islands in January working aloft on the running lights while it was around -20 °F. Now I am an old man and I get mad if it's not within 2 degrees of 72.

[@cedricjaggilszhplanespotte6532]

wow really impressive. A talent that can do everything. He does the tower, then he repairs some machine, then he guides the airplane to the parking area by car and then he is also responsible for the airplane stairs. He also takes care of the airplane's power supply and ventilation, then he helps to cover the plane and finally he de-ices it, cleans the runway and repairs the lighting. Then he pushes an airplane from one stand to another and clears the runway of snow. It feels like he runs the entire airport operation on his own. Wow, it feels like he does 20 different jobs.

[@Brinckie]

Nice Work Mattias, thank you for sharing this insight into near artic General Aviaton, ATC and airport maintenance circumstances. Worked as an KLM Avionics Technician @Schiphol in the Netherlands and saw the snowfleet(sneeuw vloot) in action, they do the same you did clearing the runway only with multiple snowploughs and similar equipment. Very impressive and an overall demanding job since here it requires extra work for people working "normal" Airport jobs on and around the airfield and its adjacent buildings and processes.

[@mariewoodcock1244]
