    First of all, I love your videos. But, I do have a suggestion.
    I know you're trying to make the simulated comms sound like low-fidelity radio transmissions, but your filtering is way too aggressive and it over-emphasizes the highs. Please consider changing your cutoffs.
    I suggest starting with a passband of 300 through 3000 Hz, which is telephone quality. You can then narrow it a little at a time until it sounds awful but is still readable. Mostly, get rid of the lows, keep the mid frequencies, and keep the highs in check. Experiment!

    • @FreePilotTraining
      @FreePilotTraining  2 роки тому +4

      Thank you John! I really appreciate that. I’m going to try some different software. I adjusted the sound quite a bit in this video, and I agree, it could’ve been better. I do want the quality to be lower because we need to train ourselves to understand these transmissions with poor quality audio. It’s all poor quality in the air 😂, but thanks again for the tip, I’ll experiment a little more with some different stuff

    I cannot begin to tell you how helpful this is. ATC intimidated me from day one. First, they are not clear and second they often talk way too fast. I know they are busy juggling lots of planes, but man are they hard to hear. I bought noise cancelling headphones and that helped a LOT. Still, I've had to really train myself to listen super carefully to understand them. This video is so very helpful. Knowing what to expect ATC to say and what to say back helps me stay ahead of them and, ahead of the airplane. Again, thanks for all your videos, especially this one. Oh yes, I am working on IFR, so if you ever do IFR videos you can bet your bottom dollar I'll watch every one multiple times.

    I really appreciate the content, I haven't started ground school or flight training yet but I let it consume my entire life. Did a couple lessons over a year ago in a c-172 Skyhawk( very expensive to fly at my local airport 250$ for training hour) reality hit. So happy to say that in just a month, I'll be training in a piper colt pa-22 108 with a great instructor 140$ an hour and in the big city of Columbus, Ohio, works so well for my budget of flying 2 hours once a week. I am beyond excited so watching everything I can and reading handbooks you're great at getting the info out in a professional manner and easy to understand for beginners like me. Fact: my great grandma's maiden name is Wright she was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio and somehow down the grapevine I am direct relation to the wright bros, kind of crazy to believe lol.

    Quick question. In your example the controller did not specifically say cleared into the Charlie. Is that wording not required for class c as long as have a squeak and radio contact. I fly under the Nashville shelf all the time from a little class d. KMQY

    • @FreePilotTraining
      @FreePilotTraining  2 роки тому +1

      Great question. You are not required to be “cleared into the class C” you must “establish two way radio communication” which means that as long as Approach responds to you with your full call sign, you can enter. Even if they say “N1234P, standby,” you can still enter because you have established radio communications. One exception would be if they say “N1234P, remain clear of the class C.” You might enjoy this video where I go into a lot more detail. ua-cam.com/video/M-2VWNQ2Ukk/v-deo.html

    Just checked my edition of the aim and it says that fishtailing such as moving the ruder of your plane indicates a negative or no, whereas like you said dipping the nose of the plane several times means yes, and rolling the wings left to right multiple times indicates message received and understood making a complete right hand circle indicates message received and not understood.
