Here's the end of this unbelievable experience for Max. Well done by everyone involved - especially Max and Jandakot Tower controller who helped him keep calm, fly his aircraft and prepare for a successful safe landing. *Let's share this video to let people see how great aviation is! :)*
You got wrong text at the start, it's same disclaimer as part 1, which means it's wrong
What happened to the incapacitated instructor ?
Great job max you did amazing mate
@@planetwally "The instructor was taken to a local hospital where he remains in a serious but stable condition after reportedly experiencing a seizure, according to 9 News."
Thank you for your hard work! I was looking forward to watching this video!
*instructor wakes up*
"You passed the test"
Student: You passed out on the test too
Sorry what was that?
Hahaha this made me lol
instructor wakes up what your not gonna pay , well you got to get out then
I was thinking the same thing. That needs to be a tested part of flight school. The making or breaking of aspiring pilots to handle emergencies and remain calm and follow the instructions of strangers over the radio.
that controller is so proud of the landing -- almost like it was his son -- what a kind man!
livingcolorstudios seriously I was also thinking the same.
livingcolorstudios 1:44 also, this! What a legend.
he deserves to be proud, i think i would be too
Bhai one world one soul
They both have sure something to be proud of.
I want to hire this ATC to talk in my ear during tough days at work.
"You're doing really really well. You're doing amazing."
Very good job at atc he makes sure to stay super calm and to calm the student and to use a lot of positive reinforcement to keep him calm as well and focused super well done job.
You're doing great mate. We noticed you're getting a bit agitated with people today. Just increase your speed a bit and everything will be perfect.
this would make my job so much easier hearing stuff like this throughout the day
A great manager should be that for you tbh
Alright, mate. How ya going? We can see you've not got much patience left at this point, and you're well within your rights to be fed up. We're just gonna have you drink this water, sit down, breathe... right, right you're looking great
"Congratulations on your first solo!" That ATC gives him a joke at the end of all of it. Brilliant.
actually it wasn't a joke)))
I don't think the ATC was joking. He did in fact fly the plane during an emergency and land it with only ground assistance. The ATC did a phenomenal job.
I was going to say. I hope they had him log that time a solo pic time! AND not have to pay for it
The ATC Guy is super switched on. I think he was using a subtle method to keep the young man calm still: it’s often the case that when a highly stressful situation is “over” there’s a massive adrenaline dump and people can fall apart. A little joke (even though it is technically correct as noted above - he became PIC) really helps in those circumstances. Well done to both.
Did they cut his shirt though
“I’ll pay for it with my own wallet” give this controller a raise
That was the best, I completely bursted out laughing to that comment, in the metro train on my commute.
Plot twist his wallet is empty
He should be willing to pay, though! Emergency training & NOT a simulation! No way to plan that!
@@pluto8404 Plot twist: he pays with literally his empty wallet
He says that even if he doesn’t mean it so that the pilot has one less thing to worry about. He wants to make sure the pilot is as stress free as possible and not worrying about anything else.
That poor guy, flying around in circles all this time waiting for Part 2 to get posted so he could land.
Have an upvote too funny!
152ER really put to the test
HAHA he had plenty of fuel. Not even close to final reserve
😂😂😂
@@VASAviation Your average lawn mower burns more gas than those 152s.
Lol if anyone's getting paid for that lesson it better be the ATC.
Yo' fellow weeb
Man, that comment lost me... xD Like the student first thing he's thinking is "I will not pay for this lesson!"
@@SimplyVanis I've heard that in emergency situations our brains go for small simple things that are relatively easy to worry about. Like, if you get into a car accident with groceries in the back and being upset about having to buy more groceries, because it's a lot more accessible and simple a problem than having to get a new car. I'd bet that played a little bit into him saying that, because it was easier to focus on than 'if I land badly I die.'
@@addyr3750 I was hit by a car as I was crossing the road and flew a couple of meters away and stayed on the ground. Some gentleman called the ambulance and helped keeping my neck straight. All I kept saying to him was that there is chicken in my backup and I was planning on cooking a nice chicken curry and now I won't be able to cook it. I didn't focus on my injury which kept me on crutches for 6 months.
Didn't know that it was a psychological response. I thought I was just a jolly good person.
@@shantanuparanjape6518 “jolly good person” the poor chicken would beg to differ 😔
I love how ATC talked to him like a person and not like ATC. No lingo, no big words, just simple instructions. I hope someone bought both ATC and the student a beer afterwards. They've earned it.
True but not surprising. He'd be used to talking to students. Jandakot Airport is where every student pilot in Perth goes to practice.
Aussies are really good folk (except when cricket or Rugby against SA are involved). I was struck not only by ATC but by the clarity of the pilot. People to be proud of.
That’s pretty much what controllers here in Australia are like. Unlike the US, where they’re really busy and have to talk so fast, you can barely understand them.
ATC's voice is so reassuring, I need him in my life telling me what an amazing job I'm doing.
I know! Wouldn’t that be so cool?! **SIGH**
Kinda sounds like chase from House M.D.
Don, you're doing a great job mate, an amazing job, keep doing what you are doing!
And that malcolm instructor dude sounds like uhhhh what's wrong with this kid
Don Cho : you are doing really great, you can do this!
Tower deserves a medal for that. WOW. Incredible professionalism and communication skills. He saved two lives.
a little verbose. Maybe its a cultural thing to beat around the bush for ages instead of just getting to the point. He was having trouble hearing and the guy had an essay for every simple comm message. Anyway it all worked out so I guess no harm.
@@GigsVT I dare say Australians generally do get to the point and that the verbose essays were for a reason, e.g. making the pilot feel like he wasn't alone.
@@GigsVT I was going to say the same thing. Good job, but rather verbose
@@GigsVT Yeah, I feel like they could have helped him turn up his headset. I have no doubts it was probably a simple knob on his headset or on the dash somewhere that he was missing. Could have made everything a bit less stressful.
At 092930UTC there was a transmission from tower, instruction on turning up the headset.
"I hope they don't expect me to pay for this flight".
This is the kind of dude I want to become a pilot, cracking jokes while in this situation to me reflects the fact that he can stay on his senses even on a crazy situation, like handling that in your first flying session.
Kudos to the guy.
It reminded me of captain Haynes's comment before the emergency landing of United 232, after ATC had told him that he could use any runway: "You want to be particular and make it a runway, huh?"
Also one of the greatest pilots ever.
I'd tell him he should pay double because got the crash course.
@@renerpho Or the A320 no flaps landing.
"ATC, this is going to be the fastest A320 landing you've seen in a while"
"We'll be watching"
"So will I"
@@joestevenson5568 Yes, indeed. It's gallows humour (which may seem inappropriate for the situation), but it's also surprisingly effective at sharpening the focus of everyone involved.
To quote captain Haynes again: "We were too busy to be scared. You must maintain your composure in the airplane or you will die. You learn that from your first day flying."
A guy I listen to, Bill Whittle, does commentary but he's also a pilot. When he was training, his attitude indicator failed. He started to panic and asked the instructor what to do. He just replied to him, kick its ass.
That gave him the confidence to safely land. Sometimes you might believe in yourself but having someone else believe in you can help a lot.
Am I the only one who felt like ATC brought the instructor in, realized it wasn't helpful, and just decided to take back control?
That was more than evident since the usual protocol is to let the instructor to take over. All traffic is cleared and landing is visual approach and yet you hear the ATC begin giving instructions my guess is the ATC was/is a pilot familiar with the aircraft.
@@bairdwill1 the instructor they brought in sounded like HE was ready to pass out. I know this is in Australia, but he sounded like an old, pompous British royal about to have an afternoon nap in the Queen's palace.
@@Strazman lmao🤣
I realized that as soon as he came back on, the instructor was no help at all. The atc was a better instructor than he was lol
@@Strazman Instructor: Do you know where the leevuh there is, in the airplane, do you? Have you got it? Excuse me sir, high tea, pull the leevuh and if you get down to safety we'll have a celebration tea. Toodaleur! - ATC: Sir, you're doing great now that's just the stuff. Now just raise the nose just a little bit as your current heading is center of Earth whereas we need you lined up on 3-0.
"I'm not paying for this lesson" LOL. This student is a genius.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
The flying school should pay for everything up to his PPL.
lol. it was a good way to defuse the tension a bit. Although in all seriousness he would have got more experience in that flight than he would have otherwise. :)
Pffft he should be paying for 2 lessons he got extra experience 😤
Noodles no lol.. if hes instructor was awake he would still do a landing like he did there.
When you accidentally skip the tutorial
lol
Can’t open the menu during a quicktime event
tutorials are for the weak
This is how real men learn
when you accidentally skip the tutorial on Survival difficulty
Idk why but that “You did it mate!” hit me right in the feels.
It's a good moment for sure..
I cried lol
It hit me right in the feels too.
Being Australia I was expecting ATC to say "Stay calm, there's an emergency cooler behind the seat, in it you'll find a couple of cans of beer, just crack one open and lets think this through together"
i am so fucking dead bro hahahahahahhaha this is legit the funniest comment out here
8 seconds bottle to throttle
You forgot to add "mate" at the end of sentences.
*drink this through together
He would've called it an esky instead of a cooler though then. And a "she'll be right" would be appropriate here as well I think
ATC yelling over his shoulder: "CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE THE VOLUME KNOB IS FOR THE HEADSET IN A C152"
*turns off engine to hear ATC*
My daughter on her first flight at same airport jandacot flew for 30min and volume was just on, instructor had to keep repeating himself before he realised....
Old head set Maybe? Shitty comms equipment almost cost 2 lives shoulda been the headline...
@@3StevesFilms There are some shitty David Clark headsets, I think these flight schools don't wanna pay 1k USD for a good Bose headset
@@MarcosSanchess the Air Force doesn't want to pay for nice bose headphones so they get us David Clark's. I know the pain of TFR.
Seriously, this ATC needs a damn raise. He performed his job admirably. Kudos to the young man flying.
Love hearing these VAS
Totally agree, though have you ever heard a very bad AT Controller in contrast? Most are filtered out through very harsh training, so it a very rare occurance.
@@mrdrummer2564 10-4 ON THAT!!!!!!!!!
He really, really did. XD
The ATC is now an amazing instructor as well
The ATC's composure is so commendable!
Just stumbled across these videos tonight, and after watching them I needed to check how the story ended for Robert. He had suffered from a seizure during the flight, and was rushed to a hospital as soon as they landed. A tumor was discovered in his brain, successfully removed, and found to be benign. Latest article I could find says he was set on getting back in the air, but getting medical clearance back could be an issue.
Thank you for sharing how the instructor, Robert, was doing. I was going to check, too. From the description of what had happened, I figured it had been a seizure.
Thank you, Jim. I was wondering why it ended without an update on Robert, the instructor. An update should be added to the video.
Thank you Jim for the update and giving some details. Great news on Robert’s recovery, hoping for his complete recovery. Everyone did a fantastic job! Hugs to you all! ❤🙏👍❤❤❤👍🛫⭐️⭐️⭐️😎🙀🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Thanks for the update 👍
I’d be shocked if they got his Medical back again.
I like how this student goes from "I have no idea what to do", to "I trimmed before you said about that" in a single flight. That's a fast learner.
I think several airlines might be watching his career for future reference...
“How many hours before you soloed?”
TFR student: “3”
LMFAO!
Damn I had 10 hours before first solo 😭
11
12 Hrs. here
Took me 60. I flew once a week... Got my PPL at 120. If you look at my logbook a lot of them are "short field lands and takeoffs". Those took me a while to get down. A long while.
"my instructor said im the best student hes had"
AND HES DAMN RIGHT
I think all doubt has now been erased lol.
And probably the last student he'll ever have.
I thought the student said it was his first flight. How can he be the best the instructors had, AND, had flown a C172 ?
@@Ticalafon It's also possible that if he had an hour or two in the 172 from a discovery flight or similar, quite a lot of flight schools offer them to help people decide if they want to pursue formal instruction.
Ticalafon I think it was more a comment about medical fitness to instruct rather than a suggestion of a punitive measure...
Max: Do you want me to land?
ATC: Up to you, Land it!
You can hear and feel the confidence in the ATC's voice!!!
Control Tower: You're doing amazing, your flying is perfect, good work!
Student: Can you repeat that?
i know right :)
Feels good to hear complements for your hard work man..
XD
Say again and again
Control Tower: "Can you reach for a Cotton Bud and clean your ears.
"He keeps trying to change the radio"
*Yo Pass The Aux Cord*
nuclearthreat545 lmao y am I laughing so hard at this
Bruh
LOLOLOL
Punch him. Night night.
Lmfaaaaoooo
My favorite part:
"Do you want me to land it?'
"up to you-LAND IT" 😂😂😂
It's like atc guy wanted him to land the plane ASAP to get them down safely but didn't want to spook the student into making a mistake. Lol.
Sounds like he performed a really good approach so he used the chance to get him down.
ATC got the message across to go ahead and land, but did it in a way that the pilot felt like it was his call. This helped him feel in control of the situation. It's subtle, but effective.
Mine too!
If you listen to the whole conversation (v=-7tguoKqFn8) they agree to land on the next try.
maybe it's the quarantine taking but i actually got kinda emotional when he got his wheels on the ground i was so proud of him. lmao
Meet too.
me too
oh F yes.
You should watch the one with the 17YO on first solo when her right gear falls off. It got really dusty at the end...
Me too!🤣
Man, this is the guy I want as my pilot. He went from nervous and not a little frightened to sounding like he belonged in that seat. And the ATC was PHENOMENAL. I think this is going on my favorites list. Hope the first instructor is okay after his surgery.
Robert had a brain tumor, and he passed out from a seizure. Tumor has been extricated and he was recovering well, but I'm not sure how his medical license to fly will turn out.
When you're up in the air and in serious trouble, there's nothing more comforting than hearing an Aussie accent as your ATC.
Feels like home... 😬
It's in Perth, and our accents are pretty much the same.
Kennedy Steve here ....plane calling ground... yes plane? lol
I switched the voice on my phone to Australian for this very reason.
@@VinceCheong . L
Talks about the payment during a MAYDAY😅
This guy needs to go into business😅
Hahah yea that was hilarious...great way to ease some of the pressure
still, them flight are expensive as he so i would say that too.
@@cringealot3890 On the other hand, he probably got his money's worth in training out of this flight, moreso than if it went to plan.
xD
Max said in an interview he said this to use humour to help alleviate the situation. He actually offered to pay for the lesson but the company wouldn't let him
@@bryanpearce08 I think the ATC controller took hold of that opportunity also, realising the student pilot was trying to lighten the mood, by returning a joke back at him - "if they make you pay for it i'll pay for it with my own wallet" ... yet it seems like such a trivial passage in the conversation
Is it just me, or does anyone else got the feeling, that the atc dismissed the second instructor? What an amazing atc. Calming, aware and just doing an unbeatable job. Man... I can't even find the words to appreciate him enough.
Yeah. It seemed like the 2nd instructor was trying to tell the student which buttons to push and to come down immediately. It kinda confused the poor guy and probably raised his anxiety up to try something he didn’t feel ready for
I want to give that Tower Controller a HUGE HUG! I'm seriously tearing up over his amazing coaching and "all positive" vibes!
"I hope they don't think l'm paying for this flight. Sorry to say" Keeping his sense of humor in the midst of chaos, PROPS!!! (Pun intended )
A way to keep distracted from the danger, so in the end, lowering stress and increasing focus. Completely natural to me, I'd likely attempt to think similarly.
"Oh, you're gonna be specific, and make it a runway?" - Captain Al Haynes, United Flight 232
Thomas White Controller to the captain of ual232. I'll buy you a drink when you get down, to which the captain replied, I don't drink but ill sure as hell have a drink with you.
Joel Fedor I feel like this is encapsulated the Australian sense ability. Keep it calm and she’ll be right mate.
Haha, I for sure kept his calm
What a combination: a confident young pilot and an exceptional guy in the tower. Thanks so much for sharing this fantastic story with a positive ending. It is a marvelous lesson in both aviation and compassion.
Bruce Stambaugh Perfectly written sir.
I can't agree more! I really hope that person continues their passion for flying, they seem to really have what it takes to make a wonderful pilot.
I cannot believe how cool under pressure they both were.
Absolutely agree!! 👍🏼👍🏼
"congratulations on your first solo" Best thing i've ever heard. This is amazing. Fantastic work.
That is normal in Australia.
This guy said "get this guy an ambulance ready for WHEN I land" I was like oh damn. the balls on this guy
Well, he was going to land eventually.
@@ronrolfsen3977 yes but in one piece was up in the air
@@ronrolfsen3977 The point of his comment "Flew" right over your head!
Taking off is optional. Landing is mandatory.
@@benjaminrapp7418 nobody....
Astronauts "what a load of BS"
“ I hope they don’t think I’m paying for this flight” I died at that
So he knew that he would live.
It shows you how calm he was. With everything going on...he could still let his mind wander as far away from the situation as to the price of the lesson 😂
The big question: Did he have to pay for that lesson?
I wanna ask him what did he claim after landing 😮
He accidentally applied for the intensive course, that’s it :D
mickey lai Dude know the facts! Instructor was a robot and ran out of battery power. Geez man 🙄
for free intensive course
This was ryan airs training program. He didnt pay the extra to have a sober instructor
Lol
he skipped the tutorial..
“well done mate, catch you later”
best possible last thing to say
We all saw each other after that :)
"I told him to just leave things alone" LOL!!!! That cracked me up!!!! This ATC is a freakin hero!! He should be recognized in a big way
First flight, instructor down, mayday... "I'm not paying for this flight".
BALLS OF STEEL
"He is kind of awake trying to change the radio...I told him to leave it alone!" LOL. The time your student tells you to back the fuck up..I got this bro!
"Tango Foxtrot Romeo. Congratulations on your first solo!" That's as epic as any Kennedy Steve line; well, almost.
"Since you did so good landing can you bring that over the hold short line too? Ah f it.. just take taxiway A to D cross 16 and park at the north hangars in spot 86"
🤣
😂
That killed me Dan!
"Change of plan: your flight school wants the plane back at their home airport, so taxi Alpha to Bravo, hold short of 3-0, prepare for departure to the West...."
This comment made me laugh Dan G. I have a few friends initials Dan G. You never know
"Congrats on your first solo"
I'd love to see that entry in his logbook!
ATC folks have nerves of steel and the patience of saints. They impress me.
As the student I would have gotten a little bit confused, like is tis situation really that dangerous if this air controller is so calm?
It's not like they have anything to lose, why would they be panicking lol. A little bit of excitement does wake you up on an otherwise boring job!
Lol, how about the dude flying the plane?
They have two options in these situations, watch the person crash, or be useful and help them land it. You aren't going to find anyone who can't handle that in an Air control tower.
When I can't even say my word's twice.
OMG this was riveting! As a pilot's wife who had less than 40 hours training, I often wonder what I would do if I was in the same circumstances. WELL DONE, MATE. Great sense of humor as well.
Just unbelievable how amazing the controller and the instructor were. Talk about building a guy up from complete panic to feeling like he's in control, and making him in control with just words. This is human beings at their best, I wanna give that ATC guy a hug.
6:01: Student: "NO, BAD INSTRUCTOR!"
student: *slaps hands of the instructor trying to change the radio*
😂😂😂😂
Omg hahaha
Habahahahahahahaa
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it probably happened
True Story: I had a new instructor attempt to simulate engine failure by pulling the mixture knob on me. I slapped his hand away and shoved it back in and had to legit give him a lesson right there about why that is such a stupid idea. He didn't seem to understand that if he cut the engine and we couldn't restart it that his simulated emergency was gonna be real and we'd be stuck with wherever I chose to land.
Unfortunately he wasn't an instructor for our school for long after that event. Hopefully he never wound up killing anyone else trying that bullshit.
The ATC controller did a much better job than the second instructor 😂
You can hear the instructor giving the ATC controller instructions to relay at various points. They're not replacing one with the other-they're working together to give him the best he can get.
i think the 2 reasons the second instructor only spoke a few times was to let the student know he was there and to allow the ATC who has already established trust with him to remain the point of contact
Plus this is.. you know, a trained Air traffic controller, the Instructor is probably a pilot, i imagine there are nuances between the professions that dont translate
It's because the instructor was treating him as a student while the ATC was treating him as a friend in need
Actually most of the time at the end I think it was the instructor talking when it said TWR
That guy in the control tower could be a teacher or social worker. What a job he did with his attitude and encouragement .
ATC guy, amazing calm, reassuring and encouraging him.
Deserves a big bonus and pay rise.
Absolutely! And some kind of commendation.
I was so afraid the instructor would wake up, be disoriented and grab the controls or something. The way this kid handled it was so amazing to me. And the ATC. So calm, patient and professional. The headset was annoying.
that actually happened at 5:58 .... the instructor partially woke up in a groggy state and started playing with the radio, but the student pilot took control
Rumor has it he slapped his instructor, called him second officer, and ordered him to behave or be offboarded. ;)
In another video with the full version, the instructor also tried to change the channels while ATC was giving the final landing instructions. ATC was telling Max about crossing the threshold about 65 knots. One can clearly hear Max firmly say "Robert, just leave it."
@@milankowww surely you cant be serious. I mean he really picked a bad day to quit amphetamines
Halcyon Outlander have to admit that made me 😂
Hasn’t played the game ever, launches on Hard difficultly, skipping the tutorial.
best way to learn :D
Trial and error
big dick energy
@@thomasrandwijk Except he only has one life and hes playing on Hardcore difficulty which means the game deletes itself if he makes an error.
All the thanks are for GTA
As an old and bold private and navy pilot, this student was top gun! Did you notice absolutely no stress in voice and professionalism as as seasoned pilot. I would want this this man in future as a copilot, wingman or pilot on a commercial flight I was in for sure. Bravo Zulu!
Was the ATC a pilot? He seemed to be more help than the instructor.
Thought the same... 😁
He seemed experienced on final. I wonder if he was a pilot at one point
He sounds pretty young,maybe they are specifically trained to help students? Hec* knows
he probably has a big interest in planes working in ATC and working in a tower watching planes all day would give him a visual advantage? i.e being able to see if a plane looks off coming into land, a pilot would know how to react IN the plane with experiance but teaching from the outside would be a whole new ball game. pilot would know the limits of the plane so that info to prevent a stall or somthing is life saving info the ATC wouldnt have
He said he had the instructor there with him, so I'm sure the instructions and specifics of that plane came from the instructor.
Chuck McElwee, the flight school's owner said: "There was no damage at all to the plane. Matter of fact, it was a perfect landing."
He praised both the student pilot and the tower saying: "I'm telling you, you don't get that cooperation very often."
(btw, sadly the humble-but-professional ATC controller declined to be interviewed)
atc was just doing his job and then some.....really glad did decline an interview.....true mark of a hero in plain clothes
@@haroldk724 yeah, i would've loved to hear his perspective on it though that's all
Perfect to decline that interview. Nothing more to be said, just uncomfortable praise for the ATC.
The facts are out, he did a great job. Whats more to say?
Amen
No need to be interviewed, his statements are recorded, which we all heard, and he did a great job
So lucky for the instructor that he had a student that day. If he had been on his own he would be toast.
The instrucror actually had a 3 hour aolo flight before thia lesson
@@bryanpearce08 and what happened to the intrusctor? why was he out? did he make it?
@@SickWorldOficial an undiagnosed benign brain tumour that had no symptoms until that flight. Surgery was succesful and will be a minimum 12 months before he can get a medical clearance to fly
@@bryanpearce08 wow! What are the chances... Glad to hear he's alright.
Bryan Pearce wow I had a friend with the same thing, we didn’t know until he had a seizure
I like how this ATC was able to keep this student calm throughout this whole ordeal and I loved it when the student said "I hope they don't expect me to pay for this flight" and the ATC officer responded with "yeah, if they try to make you pay for it, I'll pay it with my own wallet." This is an ATC that cares for the people coming into or leaving his air space.
I also like how the one instructor was on the radio for only a few transmissions before the ATC took over again. I would want an ATC like this guy if I had an emergency of any type while in the air.
What I thought was really noticeable is how the pilot's confidence grew as he approached landing rather than any panic thanks to the ATC, when he told ATC how much fuel he had left in the first video I thought he was going to stay up and enjoy himself for a few hours! Kudos to all around and hope they enjoyed meeting up for some beers.
That controller deserves a bottle of whatever he drinks. He did fantastic talking the student down. Kept encouraging him on how well he was doing. Then at the end it was step by step walking through all the way to stopping it.
David Michael i was so impressed he knew the steps so well. He must have had flight experience. I never think of ATC folks having been pilots themselves
heidiclaire a lot of them actually have a pilot license.
A second instructor took over at the end, helping him to complete the landing. ATC did amazing up until then though!
(water because aviation lmao)
New Zealand born instructor, Robert Mollard, was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition.
this is what I came to the comments hoping to see. Cheers!
@@ThatDrummaDave same bruh
Very good!
Glad to hear that the tumour was benign and removed successfully. I hope he manages to pass his medical and get back in the air soon.
@@stardreamer187 thanks mate 👍
The ATC was amazing! The trainee Max Sylvester did an incredible job getting the plane down safely. The ATC definitely deserves a raise and an award of some kind. Hope they got to hang out at some point and I’m sure they’ll be friends for life after that!
I dont know why there was a tear in my eyes at the end, i felt myself in the situtation, very soothing ATC voice
Instructor: So this is your first lesson right?
Student: yeah
Instructor: lets start with the final exam.
Student: wait, no no no
Instructor: *Pases out*
student: WHAT THA FRICK
.
hahahahaha
i had a good laugh thanks
@@alekvassinskiy1286 thank you!
Me in a single cabin jet powered airplane: this (insert aircraft name here) I’m here to give you guidance to how your doing ile be flying along side you so you will be fine as The instructor said lower your speed and altitude uhh.. yes perfect keep practicing that ile be right here if something happened
I think it's also remarkable how the instructor probably realized the ATC and student pilot had better connection and gave control of the situation back to the working team.
Very well done, all of them!
you can still hear the instructor in the background telling the ATC what to tell the pilot.
Joana HaPunkt I thought that, as well.
@@Eagles_Eye Yeah, but his communication with the pilot didn't work as well as between the ATC and pilot and he recognized that and did what was best for solving the situation. This is very professional. Others might have not been as perceptive and tried to force it, yet he didn't. I think this is a very honourable move.
@@sarracampbell they are talking about the instructor in the tower that was called up to help guide the plane to a landing
thanks!
Flight Instructor next day: Time to get you to land this aircraft.
Pilot: Oh I just had 80% of my lessons yesterday.
I wish the student was heard at the end.. I bet his reaction was hilarious
His knees probably turned to rubber as soon as his feet hit the ground.
@@suestoons can you imagine the amount of stress that was blocked before that just flooded Him XD
@@samuelgutierrez9443 Yup! It's always interesting when the adrenaline flood dissipates! LOL
I survived a very hairy landing in a C402 while sitting in the co-pilot seat and the "knees turning to rubber" is from direct personal experience.
It was a young pilot in one of his first jobs. What I didn't know at the time was that he hadn't flown in the north before. We "should" have landed on the gravel strip due to the wind but "company policy" was no gravel strip landings "if at all possible". He wasn't confident in his experience to justify to the bosses landing on the gravel so we did cross-wind landing that to this day I have no idea how he actually planted the thing on the asphalt. Since then, my personal barometer is 5,000 hours PIC. Any less than that and I won't fly with them.
"FUCKIN' AYE, what an experience! I cannot believe I just did that."
"I'm thinking the exact same thing"
If they don't give him free lessons for the rest of his training, someone needs to arrange a gofundme!
Good idea. Firefighters don't get paid much.
Hi Guys, this was the student’s first lesson in a 152, but had a couple of lessons in a 172 before this. The instructor was taken to hospital and was stable later that evening.
I heard this on the night it happened and I couldn’t stop listening to it - the whole thing is about 45 minutes long.
Fantastic job by all concerned!
Do you know what happend to the instructor? Maybe he had diabetes?
I think it might have been hypoxia caused by a possible exhaust leak maybe?
I don’t thinks so because that would of affected the student to
did instructor have a stroke?
@@80Loke I figured he was drunk and passed out
I was so happy when he actually landed. I felt like I could breathe again. Awesome job to the student pilot. I myself am a student pilot, so I know what the procedure is to land since I’ve done it many times, and it can be intimidating to someone who is unfamiliar with it. Well done ATC, and student pilot. That’s teamwork right there.
Me too, I felt like cheering when those wheels touched the ground.
That situation ended the way it did because of a brave pilot who was incredibly blessed to have that controller on the other end of the radio that day. This should be a training vid for controllers on how to do everything perfectly with the correct attitude, patience, and expert knowledge needed to land the aircraft. Well done to both of you, you’re true gifts to aviation.
This kid just squeaked it on the runway like he’s done it a thousand times. Very impressive job! And massive props to the controller for a job very well done.
Well he has flown a 172
@@matthewread9001 this is a 152 which is slightly smaller than the 172! The 152 still has the same basic operating principles as the 172 though
ATC made sure the pilot controlled his air speed and energy to a low enough level so that the elevator got mushy all the way until the mains touched down, with the throttle chopped. One of the hardest balancing acts for students to learn... have to set up and maintain a low enough airspeed to still fly, and not stall if you need more elevation. It's a fine line, until you've practiced it a lot.
Matthew Read I was unclear on that. I know he mentioned a 172 but he also said he had never landed or even seen an instructor land a plane and said it was his “first lesson”. They sure talked to him as if he had never flown before at all. Either way, nice job all around.
@@Ant0417 maybe he was talking about the sim. I also read somewhere that this was his 3rd student flight and his 1st one at the controls.
"He's trying to change the Radio and I basically told him to stop"
Now THAT is pilot in command. This may not be your airplane and the CFI has more experience in time but you're running this show. Its you in charge. Love a pilot that has no qualms taking control when a situation calls for it. Excellent job on a great landing. I know if this were me on my first lesson, I seriously doubt I would have landed anywhere near as well as that.
In the words of Captain "Sully" Sullenberger, ”my aircraft."
@@jordanzish i mean, yes and no. my aircraft is just what the normally say when taking manual control of the aircraft. just informing you incase you didn't actually know but i get what you were saying lol
@@pazourek86 yeah but an actor portraying him said it in an episode of Mayday (Air Crash Investigation) in a reenactment before performing a very badass ditching, so it felt appropriate. That being said, I'm just a casual aviation enthusiast, not an actual pilot, so I only "know" what I read or watch on TV.
@@jordanzish yeah definitely! Was just informing incase you didn't know.
@@pazourek86 I'm all for that regardless, thanks for spreading knowledge
Wow.... I was feeling proud of the new inexperienced pilot. I also found myself tensed up the whole time! The ATC did a splendid job of reassuring him, as well as getting him down. Class act fellow!
I like how the controller keeps reassuring and telling how an amazing job the pilot is doing.
and now for your incapacitated instructor lesson I'll just take this pill annnnnnnd good luck
under rated comment
Lmfao
Our paramedic instructors are the worst for dumping unexpected scenarios on you. Bastards but admittedly very good training and love doing it to lower grades too - such fun 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Legend says the nicest person ever lived is that tower controller.
Can I please just show me appreciation. I have been watching multiple emergency response teams from Australia, from Life guards all the way to pilots and I have noticed one particular thing that never changes. How professional and calm Australians are, It's incredible, and beautiful to watch. I know this is random, but I just had to mention it.
(Edit: 5:58 ) “Is Robert awake?” “Yeah but he randomly tries to change the radio so I’ve told him to leave things alone for now”
One medical emergency turns a student into a parent dealing with a groggy child pressing buttons. What a legend!
I caught that, as well. He went from student to pilot in naught point two seconds.
As a veteran pilot of 16 years, a HUGE congratulations to this young pilot. Staying calm on your first flight and having to coordinate turns, instructions from ATC etc and actually landing as well as he did is simply amazing. Also, great job ATC for keeping the entire situation calm.
"Do you want me to land?"
"Up to you. Land it."
😂😂😂 I don't know why but that was a very cool moment.
I imagine the ATC saw the perfect positioning ect and just thought, "YES DO IT RIGHHT NOW" as oppossed to waiting for another few turns where it might not have been so "perfect"
very important correction of himself he did there. the pilot needed a "do it" , not a "up to you"
Yep there’s an amazing synchronisation with these two, the ATC guy is reading the student perfectly, let’s him know he only has to land if he’s happy to but also gives him the encouragement he needs to get it down. Amazing.
A bit of this is protocol. It's up to the Pilot in Command to make the decision to land, not the ATC. The ATC operator decided that they need to have a Bro moment and the student is waiting for instruction hence the "land it". If it was an experienced pilot with an emergency then ATC would not have said that. Pilot needs to decide if everything is set up correctly and safe to land.
Nothing more empowering than someone telling you that it’s in your hands, but also saying to do it.
That is one AMAZING landing!!! Well done to both the pilot and the flight controller!!! This is the GOLD STANDARD of emergency flight resolution!!!
Absolutely perfect demeanor and instructions from the ATC on this. Should be required listening for anyone persuing that career choice. Newbie pilot was pretty damn good too. He's going to be a very good pilot. I also think this should quality as his solo flight.
Well done by all!
Teacher to air traffic controller : nah you do it....i'll have a coffee break
Vodka break*
ATC was definitely better on the radio, and I'm sure he must also be a pilot.
They probably just figured since the pilot was already familiar with ATC guys voice he should keep talking.
@@AdamKuzniar plus the ATC was giving general instructions any plane would need. The other guy is not trained to give instructions to someone flying solo under pressure, ATC is. They were there to give knowledge input on where levers are, characteristics like stall speed etc.
@@mrdrummer2564 Are you serious? A flight instructor knows more about a particular aircraft than a controller does. An instructor is the guy who SETS UP stressful situations for a student. Not to mention, many ATC folks are NOT pilots.
Have you ever taken a flight lesson in your life?
There's something weird here anyway. The "student" said he had time in a C-172. If you can fly a 172, you can fly a 152, which is a smaller, slower version of the same aircraft. All he had to do was go though his pre-landing and landing checklists to get the numbers, and land the thing. The way he held that airplane perfectly still as he let excess airspeed bleed off over the runway tells me he was NOT a rookie who had never landed before.
he can literally skip all the basic lessons and go straight for solo flight
They already gave him the solo certificate
@@VASAviation wow. He deserve it
@@VASAviation glad to hear
Geoffr524 how many commas do you need in there...?
All those extra lessons are overated anyway...
imagine you're in an arcraft for the first time and have to land without an instructor and all you can think about is if you have to pay the for lesson
He had no actual concern about that. It was a joke. Gallow's humor. This reduces the stress of the situation.
@@theyowiehunters7698 I know it was a joke, thats why I said "imagine"
Wow, this gave me the chills to listen to. ATC was nice and calm, handled it very well. And the student pilot did an amazing job of not panicking, and staying aware of what needed to be done.
He buttered that bread. They should’ve met him on the runway and handed him his Pilots’ license as soon as he stepped out of the plane.
Foxtrot Yankee
Ikr
Definitely a better landing than a lot that I've seen
Maybe just show him the transponder then give the license though 😉
Some one buy that controller a beer
“Congrats on the first solo”
What a fantastic controller, and props to this student. First ever flight and he has managed to remain calm while following instructions and relaying info as needed.
this dude flying is a boss seriously, mans instructor passes out and he doesn't panic, just stays cool, calm, and collected and does his first solo, perfect in a plane that hes not used to flying, congratulations! and ATC was amazing as well never once hinted at a sign of panic either, awesome work
I love the thought of when the instructor was in and out of consciousness and he was trying to touch the controls the student was slapping his hand away...NO, Don't touch, bad instructor, BAD! Go back to sleep!
"But... I don't like this radio station, why can't I put some music on?"
@@raffaeledivora9517 "I don't like this song there's too much talking"
“If they make you pay for it, I’m going to pay from my own wallet” I wanna worship this guy
There’s something so amazing and captivating about seeing people do their job so well, like you can not find this type of ATC anywhere, truly a gem and his professionalism and calmness saved lives. These guys just gained big time respect from a lot of people.
Loved his polite comment, "I hope they don't think I'm paying for this flight. Sorry to say." And then the controller's response - legend!
That "talk to you later" brings me tears of joy.
That ATC was unreal, I want a mate like that just to pal around with. What a great guy, and that young pilot just kept cool as a cucumber. Well done all! 👍
I bet he had plenty of hours on Flight Simulator. Well done Max. I hope the instructor was fine as well. This could have gone so wrong but I am glad it didnt. I have seen landings way worse than that by experienced pilots. Again well done.
