Gotta feel bad for car94. She sounds pretty shook up from that. Can't imagine what it's like having a tug just run into you, whether they're slow or not.
H89SA: I think there's a UA-cam setting where you can disable annotaions as default, which some people do because some people just loooove their clickbait links... They won't see your corrections.
I've listened to heaps of these ATC recordings from JFK and always hear this guy talking. Bloke must have nerves of steel. Working in the tower has to be one of the most nerve racking jobs in the world and this guy always makes a lighter note of it all and his humor is phenomenal.... This bloke definitely needs a payrise
Jacques Coomans I am friends with an ATC operator here in the U.K. He said it's not stressful at all. They get a break every 30 minutes (I could have that exact figure wrong, the conversation was a while ago, but it's definitely under an hour) and he said all he has to do is what the computer screen tells him to do. I asked him whether he felt pressured that he effectively had people's lives in his hands to which he said, if anything goes wrong I just blame the computer. 😂
Depends on where you work and what level of traffic your airport or airspace handles. A break after 30 minutes? I wonder if my wife would let me move to the UK. :-) That definitely isn't happening in the US.
in an interview Steve said that a typical shift involves working both Ground and Tower. But he also said that because Kennedy is a older airport not designed for today's big planes, there are more chances for bottlenecks on the taxiways - which of course brings out Steve's humor.
I love how Tower said "breezy point climb" and the pilot replies with "on the canarsie" without the Tower controller even realizing it. LOL "SEE YAAAA!"
Actually, Canarsie VOR is a fix on the breezy point climb, so they were both using different references to talk about the same thing. The breezy point climb is a published climb procedure that they use so that the pilot and controller don't have to go back and forth about all the altitudes and fixes involved in getting out of JFK. Even if the pilot doesn't have an FMS that will let him just punch in the breezy point climb, he can at least look at the chart and not worry about readback/hearback for a verbally issued clearance.
Just as an aside for context, Breezy Point is a peninsula adjacent to JFK. It's part of New York City but is a private beach community. The climb is named after the neighborhood they're flying over.
I think typically they all get rotated around, but at JFK it doesn't happen as much. They want controllers to expertise in a certain position because the airports always so crowded. At less busy airports, the controllers rotate every few hours.
Love this stuff, great guy very alert all the time. How do you keep your cool in such busy times. You are special !!!. I'd like to think all ATC's are like this one.
reminds me of the time we had a mexican air who could not speak a lick of english. he had to have a passenger to translate for him. it was sad, but we were rolling in laughter.
Ahh there's the dummies I was talking about on a previius video. These are the guys that made Steve famous. Such a brotherhood, I will think of this as it is happening next time I fly. It is not just funnyatc, it is instructional.
I have noticed that JFK controllers tend to be more chatty, like they are on the phone. ATC at O'Hare doesn't have time for this type of chatter and banter, and the difference shows in how much traffic is moved at O'Hare as compared to JFK.
Correct, JFK is only a level 10 facility (level 12 is the busiest). This controller's poor phraseology and slang expressions especially with foreign pilots only make things worse for himself and everyone else. He'd never make it at a busy facility, which is probably why he's stuck at a level 10.
Designation given to a large plane with heavy wake turbulence and jet/propwash. "Heavy" (or "super" for extremely large planes, or planes with extreme wake turbulence or jet/prop wash) planes require that planes behind them (especially smaller planes) be kept at a certain separation distance (a larger distance than has to be kept between or behind smaller planes).
@@brch2 I just wanted to say thank you, for responding to the commenter's question appropriately and without snarkiness - something that seems an anathema to many around here!
shades921 You probably heard "flagship" which is a callsign of the Endeavor Air. Yes, Steve is still around, and you are in safe hands if you arrive while he's working. :)
I think steve didn't know or couldn't remember acronym MVA (motor vehicle accident). Or maybe he just wanted be sure to understand it correctly. Is it a standard acronym, or the lady made it up herself? Is there a list of acronym to learn and mandatory be able to recognize on radio for controllers and ground vehicle drivers?
Austrian pilot AUA88 missunderstood "you may NOT taxi" for "you may NOW taxi". 'not' spoken like 'nut' Typical case of how American English accents can cause trouble for non-native speakers. Just let the 'o' be an 'o' and don't turn it into an 'a'. :D
Adam Schrepfer I'm not complaining. I was pointing out. ^^ So, the world has to get used to anything US-American? Why? Is it so hard for Americans to adapt and get used to other ways once in a while? ;) Austria belongs to Europe, not Asia, btw. Anyway, in an international field like aviation, if you use the same language there should also be a worldwide standard which way to pronounce it, no matter which. Accents in any part of the English speaking world vary greatly and can cause lots of confusion, just like foreign accents.
"Why is it so hard for Americans to adapt and get used to other ways once in a while?" Roughly half of the world's aviation occurs in US airspace. Despite that, we have repeatedly changed procedures and phraseology over the years to more closely align with ICAO. Still waiting for the moment when ICAO makes a move towards our procedures and phraseology.
rf11211 Ah, statistics. Well, that and the Amero-centric view of the world. Yeah, US airports are the busiest - but that is due mainly to domestic traffic and does not hold true for international traffic (passengers and cargo). So, yeah, USA is only one country among many and has to play nice like everyone else. Hey, at least the international language is English. Be grateful for the British Empire that you broke away from! Were they not the most successful empire, ATC could be in French, or even Spanish, or Russian...
Psssshhh...! Unlike this year, it seems like we gave the Northeast all of our Minnesota cold. Boston in late November: 26F and hummid; Minneapolis at the same time: 38F and dry.

Plenty of bad management...

1 soul on board and half a tank

"Kennedy ground Egypt air986
Egypt air 986 heavy Kennedy ground
Go ahead, Egypt air 986"
Lol wtf
Zelda fan haha :)
Hold short taxiway alpha!
You’re calling ME sir!
here 2:46 incase ya'll looking for it
This guy knows how to keep a sched
That's why I love egypt! the airline where the pilots can be pilot and air traffic controller in the same time.
British Apache helicopter crews were doing that in Afghanistan. They were using their radar to become mobile towers. One guy was flying while the other was telling how others should be flying.

Not tower, ground
I hate it when the tower doesn't listen and cuts in front.

*pilot's brain stalled in neutral* I'm not exactly sure why, but that sometimes happens to pilots on radios, probably because the conversation isn't 100% natural speech

Cue the Top Gear intro
0:26 “I guess I was just mad that you called me ramp.”
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
So lemme get this right. A container fell off a tug. And then later a tug rear-ended a port vehicle.
Same ex-driver?
Gotta feel bad for car94. She sounds pretty shook up from that. Can't imagine what it's like having a tug just run into you, whether they're slow or not.
Tugs are frickin heavy, even if it's slow it's got momentum. Scary for sure
Probably like getting rear ended by a truck, not funny
a tug is basically a truck for a car, fast AND heavy but a insect for a airplane like A380
she doesnt sound shook up at all, wahat are you smoking?
Hahaha that Egypt guy probably needed a coffee as well. Funny exchange.
Conversation with Egypt Air always give me a smile :)
Sounds like he's telling the controller to hold short of alpha. :P
Same here! "You contacted me sir" lol no response from Egypt air
Josias Rivera If the controller had humour, he had declared an emergency :-)
+Mikosch2 No, that's out of line, just like some ATC guy sent an aircraft go around as joke.
+Nikola16789 I think there is an ATC recording for that too someplace ATC"1824 go around" Pilot "I am on the ground sir departing!"
"And this is why I don't want to live in Minneapolis"
"Agreed!" ahaha
must have been winter time
:/ its not that bad
Better than that giant urinal called New York City..
I've lived in and love them both, but living in Minnesota means that New York winters don't phase me a bit.
We just pray for global warming up here, keep those plains flying.
Driving a tug into another vehicle? Them skills...
Hold still, hold still, ... *bang* (SCNR)
From the rear no less!
I think the port authority maintence supervisor will have a lot of talking to.
Bearing in mind the speed of any tug not stopping when a vehicle is ahead stopping takes much skill
if it was just tug, no big deal. if it was tug carrying airplane, now we're talking!
cyaaaaaaaaaa. Those dudes have to know each other or skmething
+Edwin Erickson No shit sherlock, he means the way they said it to each other. They most likely know one another.
Edwin Erickson no shit
The ATC guy is banging the pilot's wife when he is not in town.
Everyone knows Kennedy Steve! He's a legend.
Cyaaaaaaa
That pilot's so drunk he thought he was ATC.
All these incidents and he still have his sense of humor
It's amazing how stressful KFJK is. But somehow, Pilots and Controller still finds a way to stick in a little bit of humor in.
0:40 "I need my coffee."
I know; Who listens and writes these?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
at 0:38 it's I need my coffee not I need my calling.
Dude, it's corrected 2 years ago.
+H89SA I know. as soon as I sent the comment I saw the date i was like ok it's a old video.

That too, and also on my android phone, UA-cam annotations are never shown in the background.
I don't have annotations disabled and I don't see the correction.

They control their own traffic in Egypt.

egytpair pilot prefer want to be ATC no pilot anymore
Hajime Takahashi that’s because he wasn’t a pilot he owns a 7-11
Rob Lowery take your racism elsewhere
Define racism you moron.
d texas I beliebe he's referring to Mr. Lowery making a racist remark at the Egyptian pilot, implying their ethnicity commonly work in a 7/11.
Owning a 7/11 and working at one are different things. Some of you are overly sensitive...
awesome! that egypt air made my day)
I had no idea Kennedy Steve also did Tower!!
I think typically they all get rotated around, but at JFK it doesn't happen as much. They want controllers to expertise in a certain position because the airports always so crowded. At less busy airports, the controllers rotate every few hours.
They are required to rotate to keep up all the skills for various ATC positions. All controllers. do all areas.
Wrong. Enroute does not do terminal
@@xuploads you're talking out of your ass... but then again that's expected from a social justice warrior aka professional outrage artist.
Everyone does something like a 2 hour max rotation at every station. Kennedy Steve did an interview with Captian Joe where he talked about it.
When I read the subtitles, hey this is so easy to understand.
When I close my eyes and listen, wtf, errff, wut?
I love Kennedy Steve. He cracks me UPPPP
+Connie Blackmon He is the best!
I don't understand ATC. But this is hilarious. Mr. Steve I would have all traffic playing ring-around-the-roses. You brightened my day.

Oh kennady steve the worlds best atc
Love this stuff, great guy very alert all the time. How do you keep your cool in such busy times. You are special !!!. I'd like to think all ATC's are like this one.
i like how they acted in the end :)
Why is this so addictive? Scary, how much goes wrong in a day.
Without subtitles I won't be able to understand a word being spoken
When Egypt said "hold short of taxiway alpha" i was expecting GND to say "Sir I'm the one who tells people what to do around here".
md65000 GND: Get me a construction company and we can talk about move the tower building short of taxiway Alpha!
As someone who lives in Austria, the way the Austrian was talking was just spot-on hilarious! 😅

I like the way tower said "Delta". "delTA"

Ima SuperPerson Actually, the busier it is, the more fun it is.
I wouldn't know, but I sure as hell am not the guy for the job. They definitely have my respect!
I was a pilot though ... once upon a time. and one particular tower saved my life.
Egypt Air986 reminds me of my single engine days😂
My impression is that JFK ground is so badass I wonder why they even bother with a tower frequency.
. Line 'em up, move 'em out....
Lmao I do that all the time to the flight deck. I call, they respond with go ahead and I say go ahead flight deck 😂😂

PeterFNMonaghan It means that Kennedy Steve has assumed control of the Solar Federation.
Me too!!!!
Wait, was that Steve on tower? Whaaa
Sounds so strange hearing Steve on tower!
Lol I do hope it wasn't the same driver who lost a container behind his tug who also rear ended that airport car 😂
What does flagshio mean in this case?
