you should read the ATC instructions as fast as you possibly can so it's more realistic lol. Wow they make if fun for rookies. For some reason most ATC lives by quantity over quality - more words per minute - which to me seems like it creates potential for more requests to repeat instruction and in the end may not save time. For seasoned vets that frequently fly that area it may not be a big deal but for new pilots, students or people new to the area it could frustrating.
Kudos for encouraging/reminding pilots to call "20 miles" from the airport as depicted on the sectional... Little known fact 20nm defines the class C "outer area" covered in the AIM.
Thanks Rick! The times I’ve waited until 10 miles, approach has been so busy, I can’t get a word in edgewise, and I don’t want to circle outside the airspace.That’s pretty cool about the “outer area” I don’t remember reading that for some reason.

Wow... Just wow. I'm studying for my FAA PPL and your video lessons are amazing. I was having a few issues wrapping my head around some concepts and material in my lessons. While searching around the net I found your pilot training, it cleared it all up for me and the concept clicked. Now I'm a subscriber and am referring to all your lessons for further study material in relation to the subjects I'm studying. Keep up the good work. You are very much appreciated.. 🙏🙏🙏
Hey, Captain! Learning to fly in Bolivar, MO- just north of Springfield. Looking to get a Sport Pilot license. I LOVE your videos, your investment in me, and your commitment to generosity and excellence! I am very grateful for you and for your materials. Thank you!
Great refresher. Especially that you dont need a Mode C transponder below the Class C shelf, but you do need a Mode C transponder above the Class C airspace, even if you are just transitioning over with no comm radio contact. I do contact (approach) ATC even if I am above and flying over Class C, and state my intentions, simply out of safety and courtesy ... even tho its not required.. ATC always seems to appreciate the shout out. Again.. gr8 video guys!
Wow I've been a student pilot for 6 months and I'm wondering how come I haven't seen you Chanelle before. I really like your teaching approach. My instructor just talked about Airspace couple of days ago, but your videos made them even more clear for me. Thank you!
Nice Video! I've been grounded for a couple years and have found your instruction simple and clear. I'll be back in the left seat soon, thanks to your help. 👍
Josh thank you so much I’m planning to get my private Pilot License. I have subscribe to your channel. You’re amazing. Thank you very much for all your help. I’ve been learning a lot from her you and I will keep watching every new video that you post. Thank you
@@FreePilotTraining aw that’s very nice of you to say haha. Yeah I think it’s just slightly easier to remember that way or at least as an extra little confirmation. We have to learn a lot of weird acrostic mnemonics in aviation. I’ve been watching all of your videos to supplement my online ground school and for tips in the plane and it’s been extremely helpful!
Great question. You almost have to be a lawyer to translate some of these regulations. 91.215 (b) (4) says “All aircraft in all airspace above the ceiling and within the ceiling AND within the lateral boundaries of a Class B or Class C airspace area designated for an airport upward to 10,000 feet MSL.” I know this FAR is difficult to read. The AIM makes it a tiny bit easier to understand in paragraph 4-1-20 (f) (2) (b) where it says “Above the ceiling and within the lateral boundaries of class B or class C airspace up to 10,000 feet MSL.” Now, why would they do that? I’m no expert, but there are a LOT of IFR routes that utilize the VOR stations on the field kinda like intersections for major highways (called Victor Routes). They are probably trying to keep you separated from those IFR aircraft.
@@FreePilotTraining thanks for the reference! According to this video it is required because class C has radar and it needs transponder to know the altitude (not sure why though, shouldn't a radar be able to determine altitude?).. ua-cam.com/video/eWNnmrNZwWE/v-deo.html @ 9:00
Maybe i missed it but did say say there were 2 different transponders? As renters how would we know which one it is or is it uncommon to have one and not the other?
Look at the hazy magenta surrounding the class C. Inside of the hazy magenta, class e starts at 1,200. This video explains class e better. ua-cam.com/video/PEeUvw1i9hs/v-deo.html
You do not have to establish 2 way radio communication to fly above the airspace, but I personally would recommend that you do. Also, ADSB and a transponder are now required to fly over the airspace
This VFR ground training is VERY HELPFUL. I am using it as review and will go over it several times. Do you have any plans to do the same with IFR? Really good stuff!!!!!

😂 I should! Yeah, I always wondered if the fast talking was worth it when they had to repeat themselves. Lol.
How do you listen for free at home??

About to take my private pilot checkride, your videos help a lot, especially the other airspace video. Thank you
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. Good luck on that checkride!
How did it go and any advice for me I just started
Great presentation and easy to follow! Highly recommend!
Thanks!
For using 3152 for standard cloud clearance, just remember C152. C is the third letter of the alphabet
Ah, great thinking! There are some real gems in the comments sometimes

7:42 why is a transponder required if you're above and outside class C?? Where is this requirement officially stated?

You almost have to be a lawyer to translate some of these regulations. 91.215 (b) (4) says “All aircraft in all airspace above the ceiling and within the ceiling AND within the lateral boundaries of a Class B or Class C airspace area designated for an airport upward to 10,000 feet MSL.” I know this FAR is difficult to read.

You’re welcome! I explain that in this video: ua-cam.com/video/0JRVTlLJ7hk/v-deo.htmlsi=qAJ_9YSoI9N-Zzmd
GREAT lessons! Thank you so much.
You’re welcome!
How do you judge or know with any specificity what your distance from a cloud is?
You kinda have to guess based on previous experience
wouldnt tower say, cessn6789X winds 024@12 cleard to land runway 18R? ive been wondering how they say this
Man that airspace map is Hell to read, who on Earth thought it was a could idea to fit that much stuff in one place.
It gets easier
You mentioned AGL right away. Is it only MSL for this airspace? Thanks!
Yes. The top is expressed in MSL, but it is typically the same AGL from airspace to airspace
Thank you very much and i enjoyed it
You’re welcome!
Maybe i missed it but did say say there were 2 different transponders? As renters how would we know which one it is or is it uncommon to have one and not the other?
You really don’t need to know. Mode-S is fairly uncommon in GA aircraft. Both meet the requirements
Thanks for taking the time to answer it has really helped me understand.
Excellent
I love it mate! Easy to remember and well explained.
Thank you
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
what is the airspace underneath the outer ring of C? (from the surface to the 1199 AGL in general). Where does Class G starts and E starts at?
Look at the hazy magenta surrounding the class C. Inside of the hazy magenta, class e starts at 1,200. This video explains class e better. ua-cam.com/video/PEeUvw1i9hs/v-deo.html
@@FreePilotTraining inside of shaded magenta class E starts at 700 AGL.. i am so confused
@@min-sukim4438 sorry about that. I meant outside the magenta it starts at 1200. Inside the magenta, it starts at 700
Always amazing work 🙌 👏
Thanks! 🙌🏻
Do you need to establish 2 way communication to fly over class c airspace?
You do not have to establish 2 way radio communication to fly above the airspace, but I personally would recommend that you do. Also, ADSB and a transponder are now required to fly over the airspace
@@FreePilotTraining Thanks!

Thanks Tim! I appreciate that! Yes, I do have plans to go through the IFR stuff when I finish up the Private Pilot series
THIS IS EXCELENT
Thanks!
He is really perfect! Super clear event though i’m not a native speaker
Thanks!
Good video!
Thanks!
what is a squawk?
It is a transponder code
What do you do with the squawk code? Feels open ended
Nice
Great channel!
Thank you so much!
Are you located in the Tulsa area? Or was that just picked at random? I am in the Tulsa area
Yes, I am. I keep my 172 in Vinita Oklahoma
