Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel and to a great video about the famous ATC call out "ROGER/WILCO"
We'll be looking at how pilots or ATC came up with Roger, when to use it? If it is still in use? And most importantly it's meaning!
EVERYONE knows pilots use the phrase “roger that” when they’re in the air - but have you ever given any thought as to why?
The reason goes back to some of the very first flights.
A pilot needs support from staff on the ground when flying, but when the first plane was flown by the Wright brothers in 1903, there was no such thing as radio communication.
According to Wonderful Engineering, during Orville and Wilbur Wright’s first flight, they used flares, hand signals and coloured paddles to communicate while the plane was in the air.
As technology advanced, pilots began to use morse code to communicate, and then in 1915 air-to-ground voice transmission became possible.
To confirm a message had been received, they would signal the letter “R” (for “received”) in morse code.
When communication switched to radio, pilots carried on using the letter “R” to confirm a message but started to use the word “roger”.
As not all pilots speak English, it was decided by the International Telegraph Union in 1927 that “roger” would be an easier command than “received”.
The term then went on to become well-used as part of the international aviation language.
Pilots also used it during World War II, which further cemented it in history.
Although “Romeo” is now used instead of roger in the phonetic alphabet, “roger that” continues to be used widely around the world by pilots.
That’s not all. Pilots have an entire special language that they must speak, whatever their nationality.
But see more in the video!
Thank you very much for your time! I hope you enjoy this video!
Wishing you all the best!
Your "Captain" Joe

That "Airplane" reference at the intro... :)
Or "Flying High" to people in various countries.
Great explanation , thank you Joe ! --- ROGER
You around here? Nice. I love your spottings.

That ATC from “Airplane” 😂😂LMAO
I was actually curious about that recently
@kiwi700 Exactly what I'm thinking, man of culture :)
Oof Goof Same.
I heard Wilco from Jester AI on some DCS videos
Two years ago I went to Greece and me and my sister went before my parents. We ended up staying with my grandma for three weeks and I spent a lot of time siting around watching your videos. This was before my senior year of high school and I was deciding on what career to pursue. I watched probably 35 of your videos straight and decided right then and there I wanted to be a pilot. I’m almost done with getting my private pilot license and I just wanna say; thank you for posting these videos. I wouldn’t have chosen the career of a lifetime without them. I absolutely love what I’m studying and couldn’t be happier. These videos are the reason why I’m where I am today, and I can’t thank you enough.
Hear those words quite often in movies. I always thought it did have something to do with the military. Love learning stuff like this.
I watch this just to hear you explain something calmly. You make being a pilot look so much fun. Keep up the great work, I love seeing your flight insight videos. Share more fun plane areas that the average consumer doesn’t experience! Also how does a plane manage to fly or gain attitude to begin with? Sometimes flying still seems like magic to me

Not only did I know that they were married in real life, but also that they worked at LAX together.
"AIRPLANE" soundbites at the beggining! So cool! :D
...and the Stellardome background music
We have clearance, Clarence
Roger, Roger. What‘s our vector, Victor?
Our daughter together with a girl friend just cruised Vietnam by motorcycles, from Saigon/ Ho-Chi- Minh to Hanoi , over 2500 km, and also using the old Ho-Chi-Minh road for several 100km wilderness .. great and beautiful country .. such an adventure a pilot won't encounter so soon.. now they are in NZ for a few months.Btw, Quantas obviously was the most favorite airline on their ways.
Great! Love your channel! I used to work as ground crew and used the modern phonetic alphabet so never got to use ‘Roger’ - though we used to have an aircraft last two identifiers RL - but as a lightweight 737 we nicknamed her Rubber Legs rather than Romeo Lima 😁
Kiss ass
You combine Roger & Wilco; you get a space quest janitor.
wilco sounds like a supermarket
Sounds like Wingo Airlines
We have Wilko supermarkets in the uk
@@bg0124 coincidence? I think not!
Or a rock band.
The supermarket chain was originally called Wilkinson(s) however most people referred to it as Wilko and that is what it became.
I have fond memories of my youth guiding Roger Wilco thru Space Quest adventure, great video as usual!
Great video.☺️ When are u doing a video with Mentour pilot?☺️
Mentour has way too long videos. Joe is German . Joe is straight to the point. If the video exceeds 10 minutes he may have 10 minutes of my time.
True but why not though right
We prefer Dutch Pilot Girl... 😉
John Keymer I guess so.😂👌🏾
Mircea020 I disagree I think Peter explains thinks very well- and in depth, just has a way of making things easy to understand
HCMC, Vietnam is one of our favourite cities! The food is next level! Thanks again for another great video.
The correct explanation, however, is "because they love Space Quest."
I love the Airplane extract in the intro!
I think if Mentour Pilot (Petter) and Captain Joe did a video together, they should do a Boeing 737 vs the Boeing 747 video.☺️
Anyone here remembers the 90's PC games from Sierra called Space Quest? There was a lead playable character called ROGER WILCO. I have played the game like 25 years ago for the last time and had no notion about its aviation meaning, but now I get it in full extent :-D.
Hello Captain Joe great work, very informative videos, you're really making my Dispatch course easier.
Nice video, Joe. I have used "roger" countless times, without ever knowing where this phrase came from. Now I know - thanks!
By the way, I (and many others here in the US) use "wilco" quite a bit. Maybe it differs from region to region... There are a number of ATC instructions which are not just mere information, but which require action from the pilot - without a mandatory readback. So I would say the pecking order is "roger" (I understand), "wilco" (I understand and will comply), and of course the full readback where required.
All the best from a fellow German (living and flying in the US).

Cool video. Im in the process of getting my privet pilots license and its cool to hear about things like this.
Welcome to Vietnam Captain Joe. I was born in Vietnam and joined ATP/KLGB last year for ratings. I love all your videos and enthusiasm. Hope to meet you one day
Have you made a video on why phones must be switched off/airplane mode during flight? Would like to see your explanation:)
I've just viewed your newest video Captain Joe - and what is amazing you've posted it just today and you've got over 37 000 views - its like WOW . I just hope you dont think (only) about selling your t-shirts online ...while flying 'equipment 747' lol which I know you dont cuz you seems to be a very detailed and focused person at anything you do .All the best !

It’s 2AM in Vietnam right now, worth the waiting tho.
Went in Vietnam in December 2017, beautiful country!
@@EdPMur Thankyou!
I was in Vietnam in 1968 and 1969 and have very bad memories of almost all of my experiences. From your short clip of Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City, it looks to be a different world. I only went to Ben Hoa, then an American air base, a few times for major supplies. The Air Force boys actually had beds to sleep on; I was used to sleeping on the ground and occasionally on a cot.
Roger Wilco is a person, he's the protagonist of Space Quest.
Roger Wilco, space Janitor... Glad I'm not the only old guy around here.
You should have like the Captain Joe Logo on a hat. I’d soo buy it. Or have some of your sayings on it. Either way, I’d buy your merch. Your like a mentor to me, teaching me slowly as I do want to become a pilot myself.
Everybody know that Roger Wilco is the most (in)famous pilot of the galaxy.
Dear Joe. Thank you very much for another great video! :-) I ask you again to make a video about how to become a pilot. There are so many different ways. You don't have to start with ATPL. You can also start with a glider oder a microlight. I think this would be very interesting for all the enthusiasts out there.
Love the Airplane quote at the beginning
I can't wait to watch further videos of this type (com. with ATC). GREAT !!!!
Roger is Uk slang for sexual intercourse.
Make your own conclusions what speedbird pilots mean when they tell ATC to "roger that"
We're taught to do IFR-style read backs even when VFR. If the radio is busy acknowledging with your callsign meets legal requirements, but "roger" or "wilco" can fill in the blanks. Most airports insist on read backs of any clearance relating to the active runway. "ABC taxi Delta, Echo hold short 12 squawk 3456".
Hi joe, have you ever crashed on a simulator?? Greetings from Argentina.
I would not assume so
@@adibsadman4094 maybe in his first training flight
RECUP_ XD probably, pilots train for the worst situations so he probably has crashed in a sim to understand how to react if it were to happen for real
Joe Langley he wouldn’t crash on purpose he’d get a situation to try everything on his mind to get out of that situation a lot of people never crash in their lives simulated or not
Geez...even with the subtitles I'm having a hard time understanding the over the radio communications, hats off to you captain Joe 👍✈️
Nice glad you’re doing some atc communication videos 👍🏻🇰🇵
Wilco has specific and correct usage, per the SAS1049 example at 4:45. There are parts of a clearance which it is mandatory to read back, and you may wilco the other parts for brevity, which is particularly useful in busy RT conditions. I’m just a PPL with 150 hours and I’ve used wilco countless times. Maybe it’s more popular in GA in the UK. But it has real benefits when used correctly.
Who would have guessed I would be saying that in morse code when I used this face .-.
Good video on radio terminology! As a ham radio operator I use Roger, Wilco, and Copy very frequently, especially when we're doing drills or actual disaster communications support. For the audience, the difference between Roger and Copy is Roger means you understood the transmission or instruction, vs. Copy which means you wrote it down. Unfortunately Copy is often used when folks mean Roger (and they should not do that). For example if I'm going to send a radiogram or ICS-213 message I'll ask the other station if they are ready to copy (write). Then I have to dictate at a speed the other operator can copy at (which takes a LOT of practice).
Pool is awesome like captain joe
Thanks for the clip from "Flight Of The Phoenix" - I always loved that movie!
I once saw a cartoon drawing of a really geeky-looking guy in a pilot's uniform, wearing the nametag "Roger Wilco" :-)
I was in the American Civil Air Patrol in high school and knew this. One thing you do not want to hear while flying is FUBAR!
Joyce Joseph what does „FUBAR” mean?
@@maxheiliger6693 It is not the kind of language I would use. It is used by the military and sometimes police.
Joyce Joseph do you mean „fouled up beyond all repair”? Because that’s what google gave me
@@maxheiliger6693 Yes that is the cleaned up version. Most military do not use the word "fouled". Thank you sir.
FUBAR = "Fully Uncontrollable Begin A Rescue" (that's the clean version which i just made up).
Otherwise it's "Fu%#ed Up Beyond A Repair" (the not-so-clean version).
@@maxheiliger6693
A) Extra points for using the dialog from the takeoff scene from Airplane.
What about "Niner"? I have been told it is used because German speaking pilots might considered it as "NO". Not likely but what the heck.
You misspelled Saigon. BTW my dad also flew to Vietnam as a Boeing pilot. But it was a B-52.
Very fluent explanation. Nice work joe
Hey Joe!
What are your views of the supposed automatization of flight? Do you think this will become a threat to people who now choose to become a pilot?
Nice video! I’ve been asking this question for a while! Thanks for this video captain!
Wilco means will comply
Will do
Got to love the pronunciation of the Kallax ATC, even in English the local northern Swedish dialect shines through.
I’m early but I don’t know what to say.
Me basically 😂😂
That's sad
you just said something
Then don't say anything. We'll survive. :)

I must say, Captain Joe has taught me a lot about Aviation.
A field, I recently started taking interest in. I can never become pilot as it's too late for me but I can definitely learn more about things that interest me.
Thanks a lot Captain. Love from India.
ROGER,ROGER CAPTAIN JOE
In decades of flying, first in GA and then in commercial, I don't think I've heard WILCO half a dozen times. My favorite is Affirm, often spoken as A-firm. I use it all the time. I didn't realize how it had bled into all aspects of my life until I asked my son, then age six or seven, if he wanted mac and chee for his lunch and he replied "A-firm, dad."
You should do vlogs once in a while
You are great Captain Joe.... so much knowledge and well explained...Danke!
Charlie , Oscar and Romeo are Aviation’s Three Stooges 😅
What about Mike?

What watch(s) do you you wear Captain Joe? ⌚
Hi Captain Joe. Hope you are doing well. I am a aviation student in Canada and I watch most of your videos. I literary can say that, Well done by teaching aviation gigs how this profession looks like and how challenging it could be in a matter of time. I am wondering if you can make a video and talk about "flight dispatcher and flight planers." It seems this crucial area is unnoticed and not many people talks about how importance this is in aviation and safety of all the flights in the world.
are you on the hilton hotel inn that video
@ 3:31 that's the Speedbird 38P B-747 Engine surge incident that happened in Phoenix airport...good video :))
is that a green screen or you were actually at the pool?
I was a USMC KC-130 Loadmaster/Airborne Radio Operator until 2013 and I operated the HF radios overwater. We often used Roger and WILCO when communicating with San Fran, Manila and others. The pilots used UHF/VHF and they also used those terms. From 2013-2016 I was a crew-member on KC-130J models and pilots still used those terms. Maybe it’s a military thing.
Jump into the pool, you won't...
I actually really like it when you use different backgrounds and I don’t mind you mixing it up! I understand that you want home “studio”, which is fine, but this way it gives us some sort of look at your everyday pilot life!
Edit: Signed up for your new letter!
Captain, why do pilots wear white uniform?
Airlines are huge companies
@@capella3368 So
Probably look *HANDSOME* 😆
I'm just getting started talking to atc, so more videos like this would be great! :D
"Roger" was kill by "Romeo" >>> ROFL!
Thanks for "WILCO" explanation.
BTW, there was DOS game with pilot character "Roger Wilco" :).
That's radio and/or military code/slang. There are, also "COPY" = "Received", "Do you READ [me] ?", "NEGATIVE [on that]"/"AFFIRMATIVE" ... etc.
Do you meant Space Quest series?
@@pashanurmuhammaddjaprie4299 Yeah, Space Quest.
Play real flight similator RFS joe
AİRBUS -A380 plus Why would he do that when he can just go fly?
@@mohammedalnaseri4346 actually many commercial pilots do that. it was rumored the lead pilot for the disappeared Malay flight was actually practicing what is literally an escape maneuver to attempt to evade all logical radar contacts in that area.
martin theiss Ah okay, didn’t know that! But as Joe says, a good pilot is always learning!
@@mohammedalnaseri4346 problem with many American pilots is that they are restricted to 1000 flight hours a year or 10 hours a 24 hour day In aircraft or on assigned training time. you can buy aircraft sims that are actually very close to the real thing.
Surely love the Airplane! intro. And don‘t call me Shirley!
Never click so fast in my life
As you explained "wilco" stands for "will comply" and is VERY important to avoid confusion on reportings. If ATC asks you to report something in the future you can NOT just read it back but you have to confirm that you will comply the report when a certain condition is fulfilled.
If ATY e.g. says "...enter control zone via inbound route November, expect runway 24. Next report November." and you would read back, your last words would be "report November." and that might lead to a confusion whether you already ARE on position November. So you read back the route and RWY you have to expect and end with a simple "Wilco" what is nothing else than a promise to the controller that you WILL report November once you're there.
(Ah and by the way: Even when the Wrights are always referred as the First Motor Flight there was Karl Jatho who flew six month before.)
ah yes, and: ua-cam.com/video/vp1GQvWMYkk/v-deo.html . OVER!
i have no idea where this channel came from or why but definitely subbed.
I absolutely knew that you would include the scene from "Airplane!" haha :D
he should do a fact or fiction response to a key scene.
Roger Thatney: " I was serving as a testing pilot at the beginning of WW2 for the US Navy and since our plane equipped radio systems were not very advanced the signal was often getting lost and only parts of the conversations were heard, so whenever my name was called other pilots only heard 'Roger..', or '..That..', so we were often joking about the signal quality and eventually instead of saying 'I understand' they started jokingly saying 'Roger That'... "
Excellent video as usual but I may add that anyone who enjoys their said profession is always learning!
I was taught, it stood for "regarding orders given everything recieved"
Nice vid Joe. In India, the registration of aircrafts is VT-. So it feels good to hear pilot & ATC saying Victor Tango everytime communication is established !
Its 12.30am here in Sri lanka and i always stay awake on thursdays just to watch your latest uploaded video. Just love your videos, it is very educating and easy to understand. Thanks Captain! 😊❤
My favorite childhood book was Richard Scarry's _What do people do each day._ One of the character's names is Able Baker Charlie. Just learned 50 years later today where the name came from.
Great video! I really enjoy all your videos a lot. Coming from an aircraft maintenance background, it’s great to have an insight on many details.
I had a tough time understanding one subject and I thought you could help us with a great video. You make major subjects so interesting. So my question was about INS (Inertial navigation system) or INRS (inertial navigation and reference system). I think your viewers would find it really interesting to know how an airplane understands its position when it’s flying.
Hope to watch a video on this. Thanks again!!
What a lovely backdrop.
2:36 this is not only about English language barrier, but also because of phonetics on sometimes bad audio transmission conditions, even if you miss some part of the word you will guess it, if you only hear “-oger”, you will guess it was meant to be “roger” since there’s no other words matching this phonetics sound. If you hear “alf- -oger nov-“ (or Alf- -omeo nov-) you can understand it means “Alpha Roger/Romeo November” and therefor “ARN”. And this phonetic sounds will work in pretty much all languages.
Btw, the reason some words did change is actually to make it more unique and international to avoid any words to sound identical on bad communication audio. However, in some countries (such the US), “roger” is still been used over “Romeo” which is more appropriate. But hey, they’re still using imperial system too... j/k
You are right
I am an ex-service man and we were using Roger and Wilco in our radio communication. Roger we mean received message and understood and Wilco means received message, understood and we will take action. you took me back to those days
I have genuinely always wondered where those two words came from after hearing it in so many movies and videogames. You should do an addition about "negative" and "positive" too - although I have no idea if its used in your line of work.
Great vids!
Not "positive", but "affirmative", AFAIK.
To save you time - "Roger" in the early days developed by using the letter "R" in morse code, meaning message "received". And Wilco is short for "will comply"
