  • What sort of repercussions happen due to this type of thing? License revoked, Nasty letter from the FAA, or just a severely dented ego? I've always wondered if as a pilot you were fucked immediately if you did something in High class airspace, or if, like here, it's treated as part of the learning curve, and hope it doesn't happen again.

  • dude that poor pilot is in such deep ****...

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA thats what happens when you don's study or understand the Airport charts :DD

  • I don't get it.

  • Firstly this is an example of "authorities' paranoia" after a prior incident (911), they keep assuming it's a "bad guy", saying things like "he's BUGGING OUT to the East", and "southbound, ON THE RUN", which is reading in malice when all it probably was is a guy who was lost probably a bit stupid, not evil.

    Second, isn't every plane in the sky supposed to have a transponder? Clearly this one didn't, since they didn't know his ID or altitude, so no TCAS either? That's very bad, fix that please

  • @malamagr If the plane did not have a transponder that REALLY needs to be fixed like yesterday. however as far as you saying the authorities are being paranoid, to that i say after an incident like 9/11 where we were attacked in such a sickening and unexpected manor, a little caution is not to be unexpected OR overstated.

  • He needs to practise his flight planning a bit more.

  • hell ya, good old koala put another airplane in its place

  • Now he will get an F-16 for an escort ! Ha Ha

  • Theres a pilot out there who has 2 assholes now.

  • 3:05 EVA638 cleared to land then almost immediately told to go around, I guess that's due the airspace violator causing trouble?

  • Somebody's in trouble.

  • Not a simple ADF for checking where he was?

  • my instructor told me that: if pilot says that he never did any mistake, he is about to do that

  • @Tex24Whiskey I totally agree. Flying through NY Airspace is pretty insane. Looking at the islands like you pointed out is quickly easy to mix up. BUT the pilot in my head might have noticed that its the wrong airport due to the sheer size of JFK. Flying to Republic is tricky when it comes to airspace and he's clearly violating all of class B airspace. There's so many factors that can come into play on this scenario that its nuts.

  • If you get lost and don't know which frequency to use, aren't you suppose to turn to 121.5?

  • What happend there?

  • This makes me seem smart in fsx :D

  • According to FAA registry N5025G is a RV-7A, the pilot that said it looked like a Van's RV was right .

  • N5025G <3

  • FYI i searched FAA registry for N502. Aircraft type is SNJ-5, North American t-6 Texan.

  • Attention "aviation-non-experts" who are ready-n-quick to pluck feathers from a brother!

    I'm a NYC-area-based pilot of over 20 years intimately familiar with the area in and around B-space. I've never had an episode of spacial-disorientation over NY's congested airspace nor do I plan to but, it doesn't mean it won't ever happen.

    Are you so self-righteous you're incapable of committing error?! The RV pilot was indeed a transgressor. Could you as a transient make the same mistake? Absolutely! :/

  • Virgin 3 Heavy sounds like he's just finished a spliff.

  • Apparently this guy is still having trouble maintaining a decent heading. Go to flightware(dot)com and enter the n-number...5025G. His track log for his most recent flight (today) is squiggly lines. I'm pretty sure the guy flying the airplane is not the airspace violator. That guy probably lost all of his tickets. I built and fly a Van's RV-7A (same model as this guy) and I have to say this is embarrassing for all of us Van's builders and fliers....

  • ...however I think he was to consider the possibility that he experienced a total radio/navigation failure (although it appears that his transponder was still working because ATC was picking up his mode C altitude). If that is the case...he *didn't* do what he should have done..which was squawked 7600 and since he was VFR he should have known how to fly a heading and dead-reckoned to his destination.

  • @jdpainter that's awesome!

  • @jdpainter My question is...how did he not know where he was? His flight plan shows a long over-water flight, his actual shows him over water. My only "questionable" flight made me look over see an airport I knew I shouldn't see based on my VOR heading, and I called approach (not JFK) and asked for help. At that point, I turned towards where I know I should have been. Why didn't he figure this out. I'm only a student pilot, and I figured it out.

  • @kmorisen I'm not making excuses for him. It's hard to understand how this guy managed to make us all look bad, but it does happen. Have you ever talked to approach control around NYC? If so, you would understand that it is sometimes near impossible to get a word in on the radio. This intimidates a lot of folks and gives them 'radio fright'. Maybe that's what happened? Maybe not. All I know is this guy could have done about 100 things better.

  • The controller handled it well. Ice calm even though this bogey had cropped up...nice job.

  • Yikes!

  • i've flown a few times after having a few too many drinks but i've never done anything like that !

  • That's wise. We are all looking forward to hearing the next recording of ATC keeping people out of your way. I hope it turns out as well......

  • You're trolling right? You are not serious that you drink and fly.

  • @cptnbennett yeh! of course i'm serious, i drink ,do lines of coke off the stewardesses tits hell yeh ! why do you think i became a pilot!

  • Danke für dieses Video!!!

  • I bet EVA 638 was getting pissed off...

  • That pilot was a FULL blown idiot. You NEVER violate airspace like that without being in contact with ATC. I'm sure the FAA ripped his certification right off of him. They should've.

  • Anyone know of a sight that has helicopter chater ATC

  • EVA AIR =)

  • im graduating next year

  • i will make sure that this wont happen once i start my lessons at Republic on Friday! im so excited and cant wait!

  • I have a feeling the pilot's totally not paying attention to the controller. he started making the mistake at the very beginning

  • I'm a pilot and my guess would be that after the investigation he could have his license suspended for a certain matter of time. If they find gross negligance he could lose his license and have to go through the whole certification process again to get it back.

    He certainly made a huge mistake and we don't know all of the circumstances. If you think there are a lot of rules of the road try being a pilot. Its a lot more complicated.

  • what kinda pilot are you? I'm planning to go into that field, btw

  • I'm just a private pilot with a instrument rating so I can fly in the clouds. Another mistake he made was he should have been using Flight Following or Flight Advisories as it is sometimes called. Although he was on a VFR flight where he did not have to talk to ATC if he had asked for advisories where they were talking to him they could have warned him about the mistake he was about to make. Silly not to use it in congested airspace.

  • I see. How do you like it and why did you choose it? how long did it take you to study?

  • Its just about the best feeling in the world.. a freedom that only a small percentage of people keep to see. First time you roll down that runway and take off by yourself is a great feeling. It took me about 5 months to get my initial pilots license.

  • :) I wanna fly choppers

  • there Fun

  • I think he was drunk...

  • Handled very professionally by all the pilots and controllers.

  • It must have been very stressfull to be that controller!

  • respect for the controller

  • what a screw up !!

  • Ex Navy pilot? That guy shouldn't even had the right of taking off without the appropriate VTA charts.. Idiot pilot risking other's life...

  • was it chopper?

  • no a plane A helicopter police was chasing him down

  • regarding his age he probably didn't mean to do what he did! That was a nice work for that NYPD heli to escort him to Republic!!

  • his pilots license.. should be REVOKED!

  • Can anyone tell me what was the matter with this pilot?

  • Appears that he is an idiot.

  • Guy was lucky they didn't get the USAF on his ass...

  • @AgentMulder3667 would have been cool if they shot him down for being stupid

  • @AgentMulder3667 was just a ga pllane i think from the sound sof it

  • @AgentMulder3667 Air superiority is always the way to go. Hoorah!

  • @AgentMulder3667 lol or it shud be BOUM !!!!!!

  • @AgentMulder3667 lol, dude, lol!

  • If this happens, do they fine you or do they just charge you for the cost of running that helicopter?

  • Actually the cost of the Helicopter is paid by the state... That been said a pilot making false emergency calls over the radio can get fined up to 25,000 $ + could do jail... So violating airspace could eventually get (to my oppinion) very expensive not to mention all the trouble he cause to the controller... He definitivly lost his license for not having the right VTA chart of the area...

  • Damn That Is Creepy

  • Oh dear...
