How To Handle Complex Taxi Instructions - Day 17 of The 31 Day Safer Pilot Challenge

[@johnleppien9388]

17 for 17. I have been a private pilot for 60 years and am always learning. Thank you Jason for the great videos.

[@jereberhard5529]

17 for 17! Jason, I love to see your smiling face on these videos. It really helps to be listening to ground to catch what a nearby airplane may have received for an instruction/clearance. Excellent readback and note taking on the iPad. Outstanding, Mr. Schappert!

[@kittealand]

That controller gave the instructions in a very clear and calm way. Even I could pick them up! Now using Live ATC listening to eg KJFK, that is a whole other ball game! :D

[@dh-flies]

I use the airport map in Foreflight and draw the directions right on the map. Makes it real easy.

[@paulrichardson6804]

17 for 17: excellent learnings in this video, for an aspect I wouldn’t normally encounter!

[@xcfly]

17 for 17. Coffee and this series, that's how everyday starts for me. Thanks.

[@astralbody]

17 foooor 17! Sometimes they rip through the taxi instructions and I'm like, whoa....I can write that fast. Or give them during landing roll...like, yo, I'm a bit busy. Thanks Jason!!!

[@JorgeNava-o9f]

17 for 17. Pass mid project. We’re getting close. Good example of a complex airport. You can see a difference with typical basic airports when you start flying. Keep going !!!

[@stevengarner4596]

It's one thing to capture a complex taxi departure clearance. A bit harder to capture the same after landing. I find for departure you can also listen to the other clearances to know what to expext. You don't have that after landing. 😊

[@ToddCrowson]

17 for 17. I haven’t had to experience this yet but I enjoy learning about it. Thank you

[@glennwatson]

17/17. During a biannual recently an aircraft was disabled on a critical runway taxi intersection. So the taxi instruction was like. Taxi alpha at alpha 4 cross runway 17right, foxtrot to bravo. Hold short holding point bravo runway 31 right. Managed to avoid the delays just. Every aircraft after me got told expect extensive delay. Only way it worked was to have my pen and drew as he spoke on the airport diagram. I’m still old school and use knee board with paper.

[@robertwilliams7626]

Also, great slide showing the route for taxi!

[@gcamp83]

"Cannot expect with such a bias that distorts your world view." Word to live by in and out of the cockpit.

[@timmartin6410]

17 for 17 Yes, I'm a pilot from the "Olden" days, getting my PPL in 1972. Now, I'm working on an SI to get back in the air, after decades.

[@loupitou06fl]

17 for 17. I draw the taxi clearance directly on the airport diagram with a magenta line, then I follow the magenta line like usual. :)

[@4alphazulu]

17 for 17, Jason!!! Your videos go great with my morning coffee.

[@Hsv1ddr155]

17 FM 17. Good content thanks ..please keep it going... great learnings here

[@alexmartin5026]

17 for 17! Gotta love complex taxi instructions!

[@MikeyMihas]

17 for 17 - Great stuff MzeroA!

[@redpanda9716]

17 for 17! Roger That! Thanks Jason !

[@sxf093020]

17 for 17 and trying to catch up before the livestream tonight! Liked seeing the sombrero hat aka “VOR” at 3:35. Great videos - thank you, Jason and M0A team!

[@408windrunner]

17 for 17. This is great. It’s VERY IMPORTANT to not forget an emphasis on taxing.

[@wildkiwi1295]

17/17. Fun taxi directions to write down. Thanks Jason!

[@JD.stinson108]

17 for 17 great topic that needs to be talked about more often

[@philbuchanan3400]

17/17 - great information!

[@BrianSutherland-id1qr]

17 for 17.. thank you Jason, loving it

[@dkilpat99]

17 for 17. Must admit, I have a bias of expectation for a quality video every day. Thanks, Jason.

[@gtmako]

17 for 17 great reminder to write down your taxi, I write it down most of the time

[@manifestgtr]

A couple times this summer, they closed one of the two middle taxiways leading off the runway at PSM (Portsmouth NH), which is my home field. Anyone who knows anything about PSM knows that it has one of the most insane runways in the northeast…in fact, its sole runway is both longer than anything at Logan and was used as a potential landing/abort/whatever site for the space shuttle. That leads to a whole new world of weirdness for both taxiing and flying. There were a few times this summer I turned base at *the runway threshold* then touched down well past midfield before taxiing over a mile to get back to the ramp. Taxiway closures can lead to all kinds of oddball situations and you definitely wanna be ready for all of them.

[@rhino991]

17 for 17. Another great video! I’m really enjoying them!

[@J_B_2u]

17 for 17! Great video as always! I really like seeing that RV-12 out your window 👍

[@ztublackstaff]

17 for 17, another good thing to practice is listen to various ground frequencies and follow along using the appropriate taxi charts.

[@Nicer_after_flying]

17:17 great video Jason. 16 and 17 are my favorite so far. I haven’t really encountered either, but the video helps you use structure to gain confidence.

[@adnansalihagic]

17 for 17 very useful video. Thanks Jason.

[@larrybeckley8978]

17 for 17 great video yes complex taxis have always been one of the hardest things for me

[@McStebb]

This one was fun! Taxi instructions intimidate me but this made them click almost immediately.

[@georgewestfall9246]

17 /17. Writing instructions from ATC is very important.

[@melnall86]

17 for 17, I don't fly out of controlled airports very often so this video was great for me. I copied down taxi instructions on Ipad and folowed it on foreflight airport diagram several times before getting it right. It was great to replay the video at the computer to learn to copy instructions.

[@BBullard]

17/17. Watched 5 times. Ended up being simple but she put the crossing 14 at the end that was a bit of a twist complex but simple. Thanks Jason!

[@AndrewChronisterTV]

17 for 17. These are great reminders for someone who does not fly that often.

[@jiteanomi4092]

17/17 thanks for making this complex instruction simple,

[@davismcpherson401]

17 of 17! Very helpful video, I will be honest, I have messed up a complex taxi instruction, thankfully I have not had any more after the first. Thanks for a great and great tips!

[@johnware2735]

Yep 17 for 17. Did well on the clearance.

[@markfacer2296]

17/17: Always learning something!

[@raycintron8466]

17 of 17. Love this video. I still sometimes struggle with communicating with ATC

[@crufflerdoug]

I learned a lot from this, including the fact that I wasn't yet proficient with the ForeFlight taxi advisor. :) Many thanks!

[@frankloy2701]

17 for 17...learning continues!

[@colinfagan8664]

17 FOR 17 - another good one. Having the current taxi diagram in front of you and reviewing it before calling Ground is really helpful. Maybe next time you can discuss Hot Spots (HS-1)?

[@RustyPilotClub]

17/17. For some reason, this subject causes me lots of stress. Thanks for this series!

[@isaac15se]

I'm finally 17 for 17 Thank you for all these great videos. They're very useful.

[@sgCessna172]

17 for 17. I have had some complex taxi instructions in the past. I always write my taxi instructions down, even at my home airport. I have asked for a progressive taxi a few times in the past at an airport that had a lot of runway crossings and many hot spots. The controllers were really awesome on the progressive taxi.

[@rong4248]

17 of 17 great video Thank you Jason

[@jamesschwall5199]

17 of 17! This was something I really needed as it held great advice. Thank you! Watched it twice 😊

[@EveryDayAboveGround]

17 for 17. I started flying before iPads...I do not miss all the paper charts and sups!

[@jonmitchell5266]

17 for 17. I'm getting better with my iPad, but I mostly use a laminated white piece of paper with a dry erase marker on my kneeboard to write down all taxi instructions. And maybe I'm a little over the top, but I print out all my airport diagrams in advance and laminate them as a backup for my ForeFlight diagrams. Thanks for the video's, Jason.

[@olympiashorts]

Using FF certainly makes this easier. I use the color green for my cleared "pathway" and red for everything that is not cleared such as "hold short" areas but also, as in this case, areas that I don't want to end up going by mistake. So, I just put a red dot in this case at the intersection of "C" taxiway and RWY 5/23 and one at the end of my taxi at D1 and RWY 5

[@timypaul]

17 for 17 I enjoy taxi clearances at my local airport. when you get so familiar with pretty much all combinations

[@AaronH1223]

17 for 17! Great video Jason!

[@jhart1945]

17 for 17...........Thanks Jason!

[@stevenrynski1107]

17/17, I enjoy your videos! Keep them coming!

[@mpgeraghty]

17 4 17 - Thank you for always teaching

[@daveeverhart7720]

17 for 17, thank you Jason! Listening carefully to the ATIS and studying the airport diagram ahead of time are so important. At unfamiliar and complex airports I do like to ask for progressive taxi instructions.

[@jrholand]

17 for 17. Good advise. I also draw in RED my taxi route in ForeFlight, then read back that route

[@timkey2041]

17 for 17 - Thanks Jason!!!

[@kenrathjen2286]

17/17. I'm old school before georeferenced diagrams, but it's so much easier now with them. At large airports I make sure I have an airport diagram available. If I'm still unsure, I can always ask for progressive taxi instructions.

[@wshauck9527]

Great lesson. I am 17 of 17. As a recreation pilot about to move up I find these videos very helpful. Thanks.

[@danielfallon2412]

17 for 17 I have asked for progressive taxi many times as it is a real saver.

[@vconnor]

17/4/17. On departure, listen to ground before moving, you’ll hear likely instructions. On landings, review chart before departure, check winds and likely runway, note FBO destination and write out likely instructions. Edit as needed.

[@rickphelan4326]

17/17, Jason. Thanks.

[@shanechristopherson]

17/17 only 14 amazing videos to go!!!

[@hendersona49]

16/16...I avoid talking but need to welcome it! What I mean I'd I avoid towered areas...but forced yo in training! Great infi!!

[@BenedictCorpuz]

17 for 17 here. I’ve yet to get super complex taxi instructions even though I fly at busy Class D airports. All the places I need to park are really convenient to runways. It’ll happen eventually.

[@KenRomano-p1y]

17 for 17 Great info Thanks Jason

[@tonyl9051]

I caught up! Now I''m 17 of 17.

[@tomalway8889]

17 for 17. I am really enjoying this content. My wife, who is not a pilot, but a great co-pilot has been enjoying this series as well. We will watch the videos together many times stopping, rewinding and playing again and then discussing what is going on. She says that she always finds something useful.

[@dirtbikemania11]

17 for 17, enjoying the content. If I'm unsure on the instructions and I don't know the airport, I ask for progressive taxi. I used to think that it was probably annoying to the controllers, so one day when I was in the tower I asked them and they said they don't mind at all. :)

[@robc6883]

17 of 17 Thanks

[@jamesclark6936]

17 for 17!! As a new private pilot i still have a hard time with the complex taxi clearances. This video helps, thanks Jason!!

[@mikeholley8307]

I’m caught up..great videos

[@SteelTallon]

17/17 - Sport student learning at a un-towered. I have not talked to ATC at all, other than flight following on my XC. All in due time though, as I want to get my airspace endorsement.

[@isamhadweh]

17 for 17 thank you Jason

[@danielhindman6006]

17 for 17 another good one.

[@michaelgerety3035]

17/17 -- I always write down taxi instructions, even at my home airport-- I ran into the expectation bias once and almost went the wrong way-- ever since I make sure I write it down and draw it on the diagram.

[@jsmithin916]

Ok I caught up, 17 for 17 now ready to finish out the month.

[@patrickrandallf3]

17/17 going strong!

[@PilotDiggerdavid]
