Can I ask you an ATC question - who determines the arrival flows into the NYC area? Sometimes I’ve noticed the winds are right down the pipe for the 4’s but the 22s will be in use. Who decides the arrivals and then the flip if the runways are going to be changed?
@@michaelkrepula9363 The tower decides what runway will be in use. If the wind is calm enough, our most optimal arrival runway is 22, being that we can depart from both 22 and runway 31L. It all comes down to arrival rates and departure demand. However, if the wind is around 18-20kts we would get refusals and actually have to land into the wind lol
Were you around when Kennedy Steve was there? I'll still occasionally listen to clips if I need cheering up. Are you the first controller speaking at the beginning? (It's nice to know more about the controllers.)
@@JDrapic given the typical bias people in general have against their relatively slow speech, I expect he's probably quite good to have made it to the majors
Could you say the Souls on Board and Fuel in Pounds again? I know you have told me three times already, but just wanted to ask you again for the fun of it.
Why must they keep repeating the same information, i.e. souls onboard and fuel remaining? They're busy with an emergency situation; don't the questions waste time and divert the pilots' attention from dealing with the emergency?
I’m the approach controller who cleared them for the approach. The reason why we ask and need the information is because the port authority needs to know how many trucks and equipment to send out if this thing catches on fire. Also, there are two pilots, it’s not that hard to answer a couple questions.
@@p.j.mazzullo9716As the approach controller your observation truly baffled me, unless you are being disingenuous! When was the last time you took a Fam Flight or sat in the back of a transport aircraft simulator? Even for minor issues, and trust me a flight control issue is not minor, the workload for BOTH pilots is very high. The information you requested had already been given to the sector controller, the my should pass this on to you. I assume you use electronic strips in the US, so the information was already available. Regular viewers of this channel repeatedly see the same issues with US ATC, so as part of your post incident evaluation ask yourself “what can I do better next time”. By the way listen to the difference between your cadence and that of the tower controller! Ask yourself who gave the better delivery? I wish you well for the future and after nearly 30 years of international piloting I still get things wrong!
@@Captain_Al_320 well sir, I’ll ask you the same question. When was the last time you visited a Tracon? The information given the first time was to a different sector across the building. We do not use electronic flight strips. Second, I’m a certified controller in tower, center and tracon with 18 years under my belt. I’ve also been a private pilot for 20+ years with tons of hours logged. I’ve been on several fam flights. I’m sorry but the workload of a pilot is extremely minimal compared to the old days.
@@p.j.mazzullo9716 I work extensively with the ATC community and routinely visit units. I am an active contributor to ATCOs annual emergency training refreshers. It’s the 21st century so I bemused by the lack of electronic flight strips in NY. Regardless of that as you’ve pointed out your unit already had the information!
I really hate the fact that I’m the controller on almost every New York video 😂. Always action happening, plus we’re overworked.

Reading your answers and viewpoints is fascinating and cool and educational and all that. Thank you!
@@p.j.mazzullo9716 Well you’re doing a great job at what you do that’s for sure. We appreciate you!!
Pilot's got a "not this shit again" voice the whole time lol
I think that's just his accent/demeanor. Drawl from Eastern Texas or Louisiana maybe?
@@philmiller2465tbh I'd rather have a pilot so well trained to handle the issue that he's bored about it than hearing panic so.. lol

Wow. Some impressively clear voices this time.
Could you say the Souls on Board and Fuel in Pounds again? I know you have told me three times already, but just wanted to ask you again for the fun of it.
That first pilot sounded really relaxed if you get what I'm saying 😂😂. He sounded like the plane wasn't the only thing really high

I've noticed that. I assume various areas of ATC don't get linked into that particular information.

Hey thanks for making theses story im putting them on my channel if thats fine with u just making sure?
Yeah that’s alright
@@EssaAlshammari-r9e I was asking the owner of this channel
@@DomDewhurst-ox5og Yup thats alright with me
Dude - that’s called stealing someone’s content - not cool
