This video left out the most interesting part of the flight...taxiing on busy taxiways at Chicago. No kidding, that's the most stressful part of the flight for arriving pilots. Listen in some time, you'll see. If you were in the cockpit with them you'd see them shifting nervously in their seats and getting their pen and note paper ready. Turning up the volume on the radio. It's hairy out there.
@omnia762 That's correct. United offers ATC audio on Channel 9. If you forget your flight number, don't worry, because your aircraft will almost always sound clearer than the others on frequency. When you hear frequency changes, the flight number that changed frequencies is YOURs. It becomes apparent after one or two frequency changes.
what airlines is the mercury callsign? also, why must they ask the mercury to announce their altitude? doesn't the tower radar or the planes transponder already display their flight level?
@KuostA the "mercury" call-sign belongs to Shuttle America (United Express). I'm not sure why tower was asking for "altitude leaving", I was wondering that myself.. maybe radar was inop.
Really enjoy the audio capture of the atc for this video on landing.

Sounds like you had a female captain and male FO, since the captain took over the controls for taxi in and the FO started making the radio calls...
Nice addition with the ATC!

@oktal3700 from the rate of descent, I'm guessing this was the ILS 28, not the visual

@jjouney what camera where u using?
Mexicanboy387 4 months ago
@BigSam3788 Giving headings because it is IFR and landing runways to the west, you have to protect for missed approaches using airspace and altitude
