22 for 22. Excellent advice. Be clear, concise, and to the point. Don’t “um” and “ah,” if you don’t know what to say, don’t say it. God forbid you’re the guy on the radio who is stumbling with a basic position report when someone behind you has a burning engine and needs to get in.
The amount of times I have heard “…Uh, this is, uh… N12345, over the lake, ummm…” *long silence* “Inbound full stop with… uh… Echo,” is just ridiculous. It’s a problem in the GA side of aviation that needs to be addressed.
22 for 22!
Great tips Magda!!
Great tips Jason!!!
Soooo Important to be “quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to get angry”

22 for 22: Having been in the military for 12 years before I started my flight training confidence on the radio was not an issue. Learning the phraseology was my only challenge. Its nice to be reminded of best practice procedures. We all can get a bit lazy with radio discipline as our confidence grows.
22/22. I used to say "looking for traffic", but not any more. Thanks for the tips. Your wife is awesome, and like you said "beautiful."
22:22 listen to understand, not just to respond. My wife taught me this, it works for radio comms too.
Never thought of the confusion that to and for could cause. Great point.
twenty-two for twenty-two! Thank you for the great example you both set, in piloting and marriage :D Lovely to watch!
22 for 22! "Are you a good listener?" Great tip...
22 for 22, thank you Jason and Magda! A friend who retired from international flying mentioned to me how she stressed proper phraseology with her crew. She made a point that although English is spoken over the air, it may not be the controller’s first language. English slang may not be understood potentially creating a safety issue.
22 for 22!
My wife tells me that I’m a good listener ;-)
22 for 22. I hate talking on the radio. Listening to ATC recordings has really helped.
22/22 Hola Jason y Magda! I have to be a good listener too, my wife is Colombian as well :)
22 of 22! One thing I’ve learned is to not be afraid to double check, the controllers appreciate it most of the time and you avoid mistakes. Thanks for another great video!
22 for 22. Great tips. Spent 20 years as a controller, Many technology changes in all the years since, but the basic communication principles haven't changed that much. Thanks for these great videos.
21 for 21 Thank You, Magda!!! and Jason😎Great Communication Skills !!! “Listen First” is the Most Important Part of Communication!!!! Thank You !!! for ALL of these Great Lessons, WOW !!!!!
22 for 22! - another great topic!
Thanks, Jason: great tips. One that I'll immediately adopt: stop using "to," which can be confusing.
At my non-towered airport, after crossing the runway from the ramp I typically say, clear of runway, taxing Alpha "to" either runway 23 or 5. Henceforth, just "clear of runway, taxiing" runway" 23 or 5.
A nitpick: at one point, you said to ATC, "level 5,500." My understanding is that "level" is superfluous. That unless you indicate climbing or descending, ATC understands the altitude given is level.
22 for 22! I'm so happy that Magda is on board! Always listen FIRST... best practice: open the squelch to be SURE the volume is up so that you can hear the radio.... now listen, THEN transmit when the frequency is open. AIM 4.1.9 paragraph g: "Area traffic shall NOT be said on the radio"! It means NOTHING! Don't use it!!!
I'm a very good listener. Definitely a very good listener.
22 for 31. I can hear you. Thanks for asking us to listen first. Don't need to add to conversation until we know what they are talking about.
22 for 22 here and loving it!
22 for 22! I think my wife said I'm a good listener, but I'm not 100% sure on that one.
22/22. Keep on keepin' on!!! Making us all better pilots!!
22 for 22 !!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Jason!
22/22 Great info on radio communication. Clear, consise and to the point. Magda said you are a good listener in" real life" too and it is on video so that is very high praise. We all love it when you two are having fun together flying and teaching! Keep up the good work!
22 :22......still lovin' this. Great stuff, keep it coming!!
22 for 22!! Thanks for the great video. Can always work on the radios!!
22 of 22, great advice. We were told in training to reply “looking for traffic” your advice makes very good sense! Great video as always! Thank you!
22 / 22
Keep communications brief and too the point. Here in Arizona we have way too much chatter. Instead of saying something like "N486K, 5 miles NW, inbound on the 45 for left downwind 5" they'll say things like "I'm a few miles north of the field, coming up to the interstate. I'll be landing on runway 5. Any traffic please advise"
Also, give positions reports that mean something to EVERYONE. At KCGZ there is lots of ILS practice coming off the Stanfield VOR. More often than not you'll hear "N486K, crossing Maricopa Highway inbound on the ILS 5" Great, but I'm not from here. Where is Maricopa Highway? That's not on the charts. Are you 1 mile out, 2 miles, 5 miles, 10 miles? I've got no idea. It's better to say "N486K, 3.5nm inbound on ILS for runway 5." Got it! Also say what you are. 3.5nm inbound in a Cessna / Piper gives someone else in the pattern a lot more time than 3.5nm in my Lancair or a Cirrus.
Finally, as far as ILS practice is concerned. You, on your ILS practice landing, do NOT have the right of way over VFR traffic flying in VMC conditions at a non-towered airport. If there is other traffic in the pattern, break off and join the pattern if you want to land. Or go missed early. (AC 90-66B) We also get lots of ILS traffic (both practice and ILS flight plans) who just come barreling into the airport because they think they have the right of way. ILS only has right of way in IMC conditions (non-towered airport) in which case the VFR traffic isn't going to be up there anyway. So don't expect people to clear a path for you just because you communicated that you're on the ILS
All great suggestions. I would argue that the decimal points is probably too precise. “3 mile final runway 35” is probably sufficient rather than 3.5. Less words. Also I don’t think when you’re 3 miles out if you’re on a ILS matter. I agree giving your life story is better left for on the ground. Have had pilots discussing the weather in the past and struggle to get my radio calls out.
Same ILS snobbishness in Winchester VA.
I’m a fairly new pilot and I readily agree with you! My local uncontrolled airport has calls like “Over the new construction.” Well how soon will that not be ‘new construction’ and just homes? And if there’s transient traffic in the pattern how would they know anything about the area?
@@wyatt92563 if it’s controlled airports they often have named reporting points. Because the controllers are providing the separation information between you and the other pilots it’s reasonable. If it’s uncontrolled it’s all local knowledge only which shouldn’t be included in radio calls.
@@glennwatson thx for the comment. The airport I’m referring to (F70) is pilot (un)controlled.
22 for 22! Another great video!
22 for 22 Great info, short but to the point !
D-Funn-day with Magda. Great protocol recommendations. Great video.
22 for 22. Guilty of using "looking for traffic", will start using "negative contact". Thank you for that advice!
22 FM 22…. Excellent radio tips there…thank you!
22 for 22 great ideas for safety!
22 for 22! I had to catch up a little, but we're back!
22/22 one day at a time!! Great stuff
22 FOR 22 GREAT INFO! To many times we hear callouts that just do not make sense.
22 for 22: nice and relevant as I was having first flight in a new type in a new area…really has to concentrate on making good calls while learning to fly safely !
22 for 22! Great tips!!
22/22...ooops!.looks like precipitation is inbound today since temperature and dew points are 22...thanks Jason for this video. Point number 1 is an absolute must..
22 for 22 Thanks Radio communications still working
22/22!! Always look forward to these videos. I wish the 172 had a playback button! Haha great stuff as always 🫡🤓
22 for 22. great video today.
Awesome video please keep them coming!
22 climbing 31
22/22, short and to the point!
22-22. Absolutely fantastic vid today!
22 for 22. As always great information. I'm also guilty of using "looking for traffick". I'll try to do better in the future.
22 for 22. Great tips
22 for 22. I was taught to simply say “looking” followed by my tail number.
Thank you Jason , as usual excellent advice !
all catch up to day 22, wow, that's for the 4 tips.
Yes! "Use correct verbiage". We should always use proper radio phraseology. While we may hear others on frequency use slang, it is not correct, and we should no do it. We need to teach this to learners from the start....and we must continue to do it ourselves!
22/22…I eliminated “for” between my 22’s!😊
22 for 22 - From your Class B take off video - When being handed over to departure, I believe it is beneficial to include last clearance (heading 350, direct KIXD, etc.)
22 for 22. My tip. At a nontowered airport, always repeat the name of the airport at the end of your communication.
22 of 22 Great video. I don't understand, when I owned a boat, the radio was a piece of cake. Using the radio while flying is horrifying. I'll keep working on it.
22 / 22 and learning something everyday. Thank you
22 four 22....thanks for the very demo!!
21/21. Loving this!
Here in Germany we say „looking out“, avoiding the word traffic as long as we have negative contact . . . 😊
22 for 22, Jason! This series has been awesome!
22 for 22 - Great stuff MzeroA!
22 for 22 Great videos..
22/22 i have homework to do from yesterday.
22 of 22! Thanks!
22 / 22. Been a great series
22 for 22 ( or should I say, after watching this video, '22 _of_ 22' ;-) ).
22/22. When driving out to the hanger rehearse radio traffic you might be using during your flight
22/22 - Great information
22-4-22! My wife says I need to practice that listening bit some more! Lol!😂
22 for 22 in 2024!
great video as always
Very good video.
Great tips. Thanks
22/22 nice work again.
22 for 22 🎉 "LISTEN FIRST"
22 / 22. Good tips and bonous "Listen in Marriage" ... better pay attention .
22/22! Thanks kindly!
22 for 22 great tips
I use my handheld radio to get the ATIS and after preflight use it to get my clearance before starting the engine and saying ready to taxi. Saves on Hobbs/Tach time
22/22... Wish I had that playback button!
Beginner pilot enthusiast! Hoping to pursue PPL this year. Ive been tuning into VATSIM listening in to radio calls to help understand where I could fit in a radio call.
awesome series..22 foxtrot 22:}
Excellent
22for22 very good advise thanks
22 for 22! Thank you MZeroA team!
Catching up...22/22.
22/22. Good tips!
I'm not 22/22 I missed few epizodes, but will catch up.
The best to practice communication is Pilotedge. Man, it's sooo real. Incredibly useful.
I'm very bad listener by the way. I have a huge struggle to understand what's being said over the radio in English. But my English level is very high, that is not the problem. But understanding the radio is the number 1 obstacle for my flying.
Btw, where is Magda from? Just hat the name is quite usual in central Europe.
22/22 tip #7 Sterile cockpit when performing radio communications. I'm sure Jason pointed (pun intended) that out in an earlier vid. A signal to pax that it's time to keep quiet...
22/22 🤣👍👍Cheers 🍻🍻
22 of 22!
22 of 22. Keep it short, sweet, clear, and concise. Always wait when switching frequencies.
Twenty two for twenty two :) I love radio calls. I actually put together radio scripts to practice that included talking to ATC for all types of scenarios (entering/departing towered airports, flight following etc.). When we would be travelling in the car, my wife would be the 'controller' and I would be the 'pilot' and we would go thru all the scenarios I had laid out. It got to be pretty popular at my flight school, so I started handing them out to instructors and other students.
Great idea. Could you post them here maybe?
That’s awesome Marty would you be interested in sharing. I think it would help me and probably help my wife feel more comfortable to know the flow. I’ve been looking for ways to get her involved.
What I have is a text document and I'm not sure how I can post this here. I'll send a note to Jason and ask for his help. If I had your EMail I could certainly send them that way.
22 for 22!
Best advice I ever heard actually came from a local fire chief…
“Keep it long enough to make the point, short enough not to bore the audience”
As for calling landmarks known better by the locals… I try this on approaches into uncontrolled fields..
“ABC traffic, aircraft type/N12345, name of fix inbound and distance from final, ABC traffic”.
If I’ve done nothing else I’ve identified my location on the instrument approach procedure and identified my actual distance from the field.
22/22 great tips
22 for 22 🙏🏻
22 for 22 Love the video. As a former DX radio operator, ZD8CN, I got walked on during many communication.
