Steve was definitely a little cranky, but for good reason. He remained professional and got his message across with a little touch of humor.

[@meNikkie]

"not allowed to taxi on MY taxiway" - sounds nice:)

[@decline2state]

Basically, because it *was* his taxiway. If some mishap occurred, he'd take the heat--a lot of heat, I'm sure--for it.

[@epsilona7472]

well.. he is the Ground Traffic Control, while he's in control, it's his taxiway. Like when a Pilot says to the Captain "your plane" they both know it's not owned by the Captain.. it's just under their full control at that time, it's theirs.

[@jbreezy101]

Brillant catch. "You are not a port vehicle." Aww, Steve is just never satisfied. When a port vehicle calls, he wants a plane, when a plane calls he wants a vehicle ... :D Although that 1818-episode, well ... unnecessary, in my world, you always get taxi instructions etc. from GND, not your ramp. Still, they were lucky they got Steve, this "I am so bored and speak monotonously"-GND-Controller ... well. Would have been much more unpleasant.

But I would call "lost in the MHz" and "Earth to Jetblue 1818" still cool :D And after that "But she also told you to monitor ground .9" there should have been this wasted animation of GTA or something like that. That was a slap to the face, if the tower in fact did told the JBU to monitor ground.

[@Noneneon]

+marcel1416 Still he kept it very cool and professional. Some people would have given the pilots a number to call.

[@marcel1416]

Boiko Aladjemov Maybe he gave it the JBU too, maybe H89SA knows more about that. Anyway... Steve handled it professional as he always does, maybe a bit more harsh tone but I think thats understandable.

It's called "cowboy" phraseology. It is not appropriate in terms of the 7110.65W, but in the field there's a lot of this type of phraseology, not just this guy. aside from cracking jokes, no hes doing everything correctly

[@gasaholic47]

That's the whole key to everything. Doing the job correctly overrides everything else. When he needs to be serious, he is and you had best not cross him, as he knows his job better than the pilots at the end of the day.

[@gungadinn]

That comes from doing the job for 30 years. He doesn't have to second guess commands One thing you can tell though, he doesn't like TUG drivers. I guess the airlines don't give them the training required to be proficient using the radio. As a private pilot, I'd never fly into any of the most congested air ports in the country. Between radios not completely tuned to frequency and having 40 plus taxiways, even having electronic charts on board, I'd pass.

What type of aircraft is German Air Force 951, and what's the reason for it's presence at JFK? Is the reason for diplomatic or military nature (because German Air Force is responsible for transportation of members of the government, too). Does anyone know this?

[@chrisk.500]

+Caracal You're right, it's most likely a governmental flight. Maybe something at the UNO. Otherwise they wouldn't land at JFK. It's probably one of the smaller Airbuses (A319/20) or Global 5000 Jets.

Their radios are not (and don't need to be) as powerful as on an airliner. Enough to reach the tower, not enough to reach the radio of whoever is recording kilometers away.

Imre Kalman: Makes sense. Thanks.

[@imrekalman9044]

[@sleepingcity85]

@@sleepingcity85 Yeah, airliners have "somewhat" better sound proofing than most cars. PS: Hey, it's a two years old comment! LOL! Thanks for reminding for this video! :D

[@jx0.555]

Hi guys, nice atc footage, anyone know what mean rwyXX shortened please ?

[@richboy2307]

"Runway XX Shortened" is specifically used during runway construction to indicate the actual available runway distances are different than published in the charts. So basically, not starting takeoff from the end of the runway, but somewhere in between.

[@jx0.555]

Ok tank you so much :)

[@richboy2307]

Pleasure's all mine :D

[@JeremyEllwood]

It has only to do with takeoff distance, not necessarily any construction or blockage. Many times, ATC will ask pilots to take off "shortened" for various reasons - traffic congestion, letting a pilot take off while there's another aircraft on approach (getting the departure pilot into the sky ASAP rather than waiting), etc.

[@rogervoss4877]

Except in the usage here it's for a Runway without all the published length available, to anyone. Still part of official description to all as a reminder of the lower length than in the 'book' for it. I saw 31R mentioned as having an overrun added as part of the published length for example, but NEVER available for takeoffs (in normal circumstances at least). At a guess, you'd have to taxi to the end & U-Turn to use it (I should check the charts on that sometime). On this and other ATC included videos I've seen ATC might ask a Pilot if they can "accept a short takeoff" from a certain taxiway intersection, and the shortened length is given for reference. Then if they accept it, final clearance might be taxi (letter) to runway (number), short departure from intersection.

[@stephg2103]

ooo sasssy

[@SB-iu2yq]

H89SA what does 13R shortened mean?

[@marcel1416]

+Shurnell Benjamin It means you are taxing to an intersection of the runway and takoff from the there. Basically it means that you will not take the full runway length for takeoff.

[@SB-iu2yq]

+marcel1416 okay thanks! I've always wondered!

[@H89SA]

+marcel1416 Thank you. :)

[@frankgrimesification]

Responses to your query are wrong. At the time of the recording, 13R/31L was under construction for repaving. As a result, the full length of the runway was not available for use on departures and arrivals. This is why the disclaimer 13R shortened was given. Even though this information should have been available to pilots in a NOTAM, ATC was giving this disclaimer to pilots to help ensure that they were aware that the full length of the runway was not available due to repaving activities.

There seems to be a lot of white noise on that bandwidth. They really should look at that. The antennas might need a good clean

[@H89SA]

+Justin Lee I guess you know this isn't from the tower antennas?

[@mgytitanic1912]

+H89SA I do now. where do you get the broadcast from?

[@H89SA]

+Justin Lee JFK feed is from liveatc.net.

[@mgytitanic1912]

+H89SA I gathered that so I assumed it was from the airport antennas. I'm guessing then that some of the garbled transmission is down to Internet connectivity?

[@H89SA]

+Justin Lee Again, it's all about the antennas. This guy, who provides feed from JFK to liveatc might be 10 miles away from the airport and his antenna can't pick up clear transmissions. I don't know have you ever had a chance to stand next to the airport fence with the VHF radio. Audio quality is perfect when you're close to the airport. :)

[@roxanndouglas8293]

Ok not that i want to be in your shoes but was wondering what "heavy" means

[@rick2340atyahoocom]

It’s a classification based on the total weight of the aircraft. Basically it means it’s a wide bodied aircraft. Occasionally you will hear an aircraft designated as “super” which means it’s an A380.

[@roxanndouglas8293]

Thanks. I love to travel by plane. Some have where you can hear traffic over radio. Ok so now I have heavy, super just missing tug. I just spent the past 4 hours listening to communication. Tried watching the flight channel but they were all crashes and it scared me to death. Not good week prior to flying. Thanks again! I've stepped up my game first it was dumpster diving videos, liquidation videos. The ever popular dog and cat videos. I'm in bed recovering from back and knee replacement surgery. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. 😄

[@Cherubi-chan]

The weight affects the wake turbulence and thus the empty space that has to be reserved behind the airplane.
