  • When ATC issues you a "climb via" on a departure procedure, what are you supposed to do? ExpressJet gave us a jet for a day (how cool is that?!) to go fly a departure procedure and film it.

    Really nicely done. A small addendum on what "RNAV to TAPPS," means on the takeoff clearance... it's not really related to the transition being flown. It's actually an ATC requirement they state the first fix on an RNAV departure when using simultaneous departures from parallel runways. ATL and LAX are great examples of this where the RNAV fixes for a given SID actually vary based on the runway being used. It's essentially a check and balance to make sure that two aircraft launching in quick succession on parallel RNAV departures actually navigate to the correct fix when parallel runways are in use.

    Nice to see a practical example of a complex SID and Via.
    Always good for those in the early learning phase to see examples of the extremes, takes out some of the mystery and reduces the chance of deer in the headlights. At the simple end I have one locally that is: Turn to 063 and climb to 3000, expect vectors in 2 minutes or 6 miles. Lost com, climbing turn left direct to VOR continue climbing in hold at the VOR to 4200.

    Very often pilots will climb to the assigned altitude, when issued climb via, and fail to abide by the intermediate altitudes indicated at the waypoints, giving the controllers heart failure and giving themselves a pilot deviation. A reminder when you hear "Climb VIA" think "VIA=Verify Intermediate Altitudes"

      @@Dave5500 both times he failed to repeat the runway number and the full call sign. Later he continued to give only partial read backs that left out key parts of the assignments such a the amended climb-via clearance. It appears to be due to complacency and this issue has caused several accidents in the past. I’ve heard several crews over the years getting chewed by ATC for this. I’m not going to explain why these items are extremely important because you’re a pilot and I presume you know this already. Just my 2 cents as an airline Captain and safety auditor.

      As an airline pilot, who flies internationally, trust me. Nobody cares. We tailor our language to who we’re talking to.
      If I’m with a bunch of good ole’ southern boys working Houston center I’m going to talk to them differently than if I’m flying to a non-English speaking country. If I’m going to Mexico it’s all slow, clear, ICAO standard phraseology. With Houston Center I can have fun on frequency. They get it. I get it. Other pilots get it. It’s not a big deal.
      At the same time I hear mexican pilots and controllers speaking in Spanish to one another and laughing on frequency. They’re doing their thing just like how I do back in the States. I won’t ever complain about them speaking their native tongue to each other.

  • @Mikinct
    @Mikinct 2 роки тому

    Great video, thanks for posting- question- "what if like you stated its Hot and your Heavy & don't make the correct Altitudes before reaching a fix? can you go faster than 250 below 12,000ft to reach your fix at right altitude? Or do you simply inform ATC that you're correct altitude so they can be able to direct other traffic nearby around you? Last question: I understand "highways airways for jets to follow a path along" but where do they get these so-called "Fixes" or waypoints from that make up a SID or STAR? they're not VORs, meaning without GPS it'll be almost impossible to navigate through. Are SID waypoints simply GPS COORDINATES?
    Meaning if I'm using either SKYVECTOR or SIMBRIEF- unless it automatically provides a SID waypoints. I don't see them while say using SKYVECTOR Maps, unless I type in that exact waypoint name. Its not like one can visually see them on a map to choose if one doesn't know these exact names or GPS coordinates etc.

    • @chrisschack9716
      @chrisschack9716 2 роки тому +1

      Exceeding 250 knots below 10,000 is generally done for safety, not for climb performance ... if your stall speed is 240, you don't want to be too close to it in your climb. If you're not going to manage a crossing restriction, best to tell ATC ASAP (and ASAP can include before departure). All GPS waypoints consist of GPS coordinates, fixes are initially defined as distance and radial from specified navaid(s) but GPS systems just treat them as coordinates too.

    • @byronhenry6518
      @byronhenry6518 Рік тому

      Easiest thing to do is say “unable”.
      I’ve had numerous times where due to strong tailwinds, distractions, ATC foul ups, etc where I won’t make an assigned restriction despite my best efforts. (Spoilers, flaps, even sometimes deploying landing gear early)
      I just tell them “Unable this restriction, do you need the speed or the altitude?”
      If he says the altitude I can always dive the airplane to it, but will exceed the speed limit. If he wants the speed I can always pitch the nose up and slow it down, but I’ll be high. If he really needs both and I can’t make it happen he can just give me a vector off route to get into the right energy state.
      Swept wing jets can be difficult to get down and slow down sometimes. Especially with high density altitude and/or tailwinds. The problem of losing energy is much more common with jets. Gaining energy and climbing to meet restrictions is rarely a problem. But if it does become a problem the same principals apply. Just tell them you can’t do it, what do they want you do instead. There’s no rules being violated here or anything just because Mother Nature dictates it’s impossible.
      To answer the question about fixes, we can identify just about all fixes with RNAV (GPS). Most SIDs require you to have an RNAV system. Many fixes, but not all, can be identified using VOR/DME or crossing two VOR radials. But this is very, very, rarely done in the airline world. Every pilot knows how to do it but it just almost never happens (in the USA).
      Flying IFR without a GPS isn’t a big deal. Even in a jet. We train how to do it in the simulator and I’ve done it IRL many times in smaller GA airplanes. You do become a little more reliant on ATC assistance though.

    • @AleksUdris
      @AleksUdris 7 років тому +4

      Reda - They said "RNAV to TTAPS". "TTAPS" is the first fix on the RITAA Five Departure. The "RNAV to TTAPS" instruction tells us to fly via RNAV, or "area navigation," direct to TTAPS after takeoff. "Area navigation" or "RNAV" is a generic term for any navigation system that allows us to navigate by latitude/longitude waypoints. GPS is the most common form, but most turbine aircraft have flight management systems that combine GPS with VOR and other navigation systems.

  • @jakereid5610
    @jakereid5610 7 років тому

    I just wanna get some clarification on something, in your clearance to SAF ATC cleared you to "climb via the SID except climb and maintain" and you interpreted this as a lateral clearance with an unrestricted climb but to me this sounds like they were just assigning a top altitude. I believe that if they wanted an unrestricted climb they would have cleared you via the departure and said climb and maintain without saying climb via the SID. What are your opinions on this? Also I do recognize that there are no crossing restrictions on this SID so it would have been unrestricted to the top altitude either way but I believe that given the clearance you received if it had altitude restrictions you would have been required to comply with them.

    • @AleksUdris
      @AleksUdris 7 років тому

      Jake, great question because that clearance was confusing.
      In our SAF case, they initially stated "climb via the SID, except..." but then said "Correction, climb and maintain 8000" at 3:22. The "climb and maintain" clears us for an unrestricted climb to 8000. If they were issuing a top altitude and wanted us to climb via the SID, they would have said "Climb via the SID, except maintain 8000" or "climb via the SID, maintain 8000" since this SID doesn't have a published top altitude. We heard the "correction" clearly so we didn't request clarification.
      SIDs are one of the top sources for pilot deviations - and the terminology is a large part of the problem. "Climb and maintain" and "Climb via the SID, except maintain" sound about the same - and they're often confused. And you'll hear a "correction, ..." pretty often. If you're in doubt, ask.

      Yeah, that clearance doesn't make a whole lot of sense though. The first altitude is 4000 so "climb via" doesn't really apply if you're going to hold them down at the very first altitude. I'd think a better clearance would be "Cleared RITTA FIVE departure, maintain 4,000'".
      It would make more sense if they gave something like "Climb via RITTA FIVE departure except maintain 7,000" so that they comply with the altitude restrictions at TTAPS and BOTLL and then level off at 7,000.

    Is that Jim C? Thats the worst departure briefing I have ever heard! "Multiple altitudes to watch out for"??? Jesus man....

    Why can't the First Officer say his full callsign, or his callsign at all during any transmission he makes? Hell he doesn't even say the runway during the takeoff clearance. Too bad ExpressJet couldn't get you someone competent enough to talk on the radio. All you up and coming guys please say your callsign, and don't be like the guy in this video. It's beyond obnoxious. At least his "vocal fry" isn't too over the top.

      Acey is the callsign for Expressjet.

      Which the f/o didn't say most of the time, instead he just says the flight number

      But honestly the thing that annoyed me most is he kept saying "with you"..

      He did say his callsign, and yes with you isn't proper, and so what it's redundant it's not dangerous. What are you an FAA agent?

      Go back to policing the guard frequency.

    It’s insipid and useless radio phraseology from regional pilots that continues to negatively affect primary students. “In the box...” Really? That F.O. Has awful radio habits. As a CFI, I wouldn’t let him in any cockpit.

      That's ridiculous. His verbiage was clear and concise. He got his communications across w/o cluttering up ATC. "In the box..." is horrible to you...Really?

      Dave5500 Yes, really. Phraseology like that is non-standard, so it ends up being confusing to students (who are tomorrow’s pilots). Imagine if you did this in law enforcement; just kind of “make it up” using cutesy, made-up phrases like, “in the box,” and “with a flash,” and “Dixie” instead of “Delta,” or “unicorn” instead of “Uniform.” You’d be run out of the department. Why should we accept this in aviation- an exacting and procedure-driven endeavor that affects thousands of lives? This is lazy and unprofessional. The AIM exists for a reason. Proper phrases are there for a reason. When professionals throw that out the window and say stupid crap, it makes students think it’s ok to make it up as well. Or to not learn it correctly. Or that using proper phraseology is somehow “uncool.” These kids look up to pilots like this. And when they use crappy phraseology it perpetuates a lack of professionalism. It creates the environment we have today where more and more commercial pilots are using really stupid, made-up phrases and words. I hear it all the time. And explaining it to a student for the 80th time is tiring. Use the right words. It’s as easy-if not easier- than crap like “in the box.” What box? What’s a “fish finder? What’s a flash? Is 11-point-five an altitude? Why did he say “unicorn?” And the list goes on.

      @@singermcl1 I see your point. I think student pilots should learn the proper verbiage (as should everyone), BUT at this pilots experience level, saying "11-point-five" instead of 'One-one-thousand-five hundred' gets the altitude/point across in a quick and safe way that's not cluttering up the frequency and ATC. I don't feel like it's a safety concern (again, at that level). I compare it to: When you are teaching a student to climb out in a C-172, of course you teach Vy 73 and Vx 59 (or whatever your POH calls for), but in the real world, a more experienced pilot holding 75 or 60 on climb out isn't something to nit-pick. It actually allows the pilot to keep his/her eyes outside not worrying about a 2-3 knot difference most likely keeping everyone safer. Just my $0.02. I do see your point though.
