Wow, pretty busy airspace for a student pilot! On my first solo away from the pattern I lost my primary radio on the way back just as I got cleared into the airspace. It took me a few minutes to realize why the radio was so quiet and to get the standby radio reconfigured. It was a good learning experience, but at the time was stressful as hell. When I was taxing, the controller scolded me and reminded me to squawk 7600. Of course, I didn't realize right away my radio was down and as soon as I did, I was back up on the other one so... ;/
As someone who’s lesson 22 of 36 to get their private this looks terrifying. Lesson 23 is my first solo to practice area and I’d be so lost during this.
The guy who landed ahead of you 😂😂 whenthe controller asked what he wanted to do ... " Aaaa yeah full stop". But I think that when they asked you the same question, and you said ' taxi back'...I think there was a brief moment of shock by everyone 😨😳 (😂😂😂) masochist. Kudos my dude, you didn't punk out, you went back in for more
Ha. That is funny. Since this was literally my very first solo away from the airport, I absolutely intended to do some pattern work when I got back. I didn't notice the pregnant pause before. Maybe tower thought I was the culprit?
Joe Andras culprit, you? Bah!! Not at all- for it being your first solo away from the airport you handled it professionally. Communication skills ( pitch/ tone/ delivery) spot on. Composure and positive control at all times under stress ( e.g : when asked to go around, and do right 360s) for comparison the controller sounded like the student ( getting the planes mixed up and scrambling to fix it) 😂. You're a natural and for that I hate you lol
Your videos are exactly the short flights I DREAM of doing soon! The san diego flight was awesome! I like how you keep all the radio work in your videos, your videos are very a immersive experience, thank you. What were your thoughts on Sunrise? I was considering going with them after doing all my research of local clubs/schools.
I thought you were done with your private Joe! Just out flying for maneuver proficiency? And just remember, if it doesn't look right - don't accept the clearance! It seemed like you were hesitant with the base turn and as you should have been. That would have made me as a CFI uncomfortable being that close to 364 on the base. Being in that position leaves you without options since you can't continue across the final approach path and you're stuck in close proximity to that aircraft. Don't forget about the magic word "unable" if you need it.
Oops. I didn't mean to be so confusing. This is from 2013 when I was a student pilot and returning to the airport after my very first out-of-the pattern solo. I haven't had much time to make videos lately, but I had this sitting around and figured I'd toss it up. I remember questioning the instruction to turn, even asking tower to "verify," but he was adamant that I turn base immediately. I figured he had some plan, and I didn't have enough experience to say unable. Still, I had situational awareness and was prepared to go around. Kind of embarrassing, really, but I figured it would be good for others to see my mistake which, as you succinctly said, really was not saying "unable.
Hi Rossi - Because I was VERY close the Cessna ahead of me. He ended up going around because he was too high, but had he landed, he would still have been on the runway when I was on short final.
Hi Rossi. I watched your videos a bit and see you fly out of Barrow County, GA (KWDR). My friend teaches at Mercer University School of Law in nearby Macon, GA. I'll have to get out there some day. Good luck with your training!
Hi Ryan, I don't know anything about you or your goals (i.e. for fun or for a career?), but the stereotype is when you're young, you have the time, but not the money, and when you're older, you have the money, but not the time. So, like most things worth striving for, you probably need to make some sacrifices to reach your goal.
Haha. Maybe. My great-grandparents on my dad's side immigrated to the United States about 100 years ago. My grandparents who were born in the U.S. always said they were "Czechoslovakian," but I have often been told by others that my last name is Hungarian. Why do you ask?
@@warlord76i I did not know that, but "Andras" is my last name (i.e. surname or family name). I guess it turns out I'm one those guys with two first names.

Thanks for the video and the written detail. I'm just starting my training, so I will keep this in mind....."unable". Cheers!
Welcome back joe! Eager to watch more!
I was thinking you quit flying sir )) the controller seemed bit confused there.
Ha! KSNA airport. Busy!
Say hi to Mrs. Carlson for me please!
Sunrise are the best!
Great job! There was a lot going on there and you handled it very well.

Hey Joe,
Are you still flying?
Your videos are exactly the short flights I DREAM of doing soon! The san diego flight was awesome! I like how you keep all the radio work in your videos, your videos are very a immersive experience, thank you.
What were your thoughts on Sunrise? I was considering going with them after doing all my research of local clubs/schools.
Thanks Adam. Enjoy your training. Lots of fun.

Lots going on there, great job. ATC had a chess match, excellent video (CFIs could reference this).
I think i heard you today at john wayne, you were in the sportstar i think
I wish it was me! I flew Sunday evening in a Cessna 172 though.
+Joe Andras oh ok must of been someone else in the 1bm, i fly with ocfc which is right next to sunrise
I would totally mess up. Why did you have to go around?
Hi Rossi - Because I was VERY close the Cessna ahead of me. He ended up going around because he was too high, but had he landed, he would still have been on the runway when I was on short final.
Joe Andras Oh. I'm subscribed, so I see all these different things you as GA pilot have to handle. I'm learning to fly single engine.
Hi Rossi. I watched your videos a bit and see you fly out of Barrow County, GA (KWDR). My friend teaches at Mercer University School of Law in nearby Macon, GA. I'll have to get out there some day. Good luck with your training!
Joe Andras Thank you. My progress has been at the pace of a snail🐌Got about 65h of which 25 in the DA & the rest in a 172. I only go once a week now.
Hi! Any advice for someone like me who wants to be a pilot? :)
Hi Ryan, I don't know anything about you or your goals (i.e. for fun or for a career?), but the stereotype is when you're young, you have the time, but not the money, and when you're older, you have the money, but not the time.

Any chance that u are Hungarian?
Haha. Maybe. My great-grandparents on my dad's side immigrated to the United States about 100 years ago. My grandparents who were born in the U.S. always said they were "Czechoslovakian," but I have often been told by others that my last name is Hungarian. Why do you ask?
@@jandras1 Well you first name is Andras that is Andrew in Hungarian :-)
@@warlord76i I did not know that, but "Andras" is my last name (i.e. surname or family name). I guess it turns out I'm one those guys with two first names.
