lol, I tried following all this with a blown up copy of the JFK taxiway grid on wikipedia and MAN, talk about confusing. So many tiny little taxiways. I wish someone would animate everything that was going on. Was 13L basically just being used as a taxiway during all this mess? It sounded like the main points of congestion was where victor and bravo come together, as well as where bravo and echo come together.
Is it common for controllers to have minor errors in their directions and the pilots to just fill in the blanks for what they assumed the controller meant? For example, at 0:15 the controller tells the jet holding on Kilo to go left on alpha and hold short of echo... but to get to echo, you need to go right, not left. Then at 3:06, he tells the jet on (i think) Bravo to "go right on victor, right on 13L, and hold short of Zulu-Echo. There's no Zulu-Echo on my map. Did he mean Echo?
@Concorde847 Bravo short Victor is the threshold I believe (the piano keys) but larger planes like Iberia, and Alitalia, need the run up space provided from entering at Uniform.
I'm a pilot here in Northern California and I flew into Stockton this morning and the tower controller stumbled over his NY accent trying to say my tail number. The controller sounds EXACTLY, dead on like this guy. I asked him if he was from the East Coast instead of asking "didn't I hear you on YouTube." He said he was from Syracuse, NY. I am pretty sure that the tower controller at Stockton is this ground controller from JFK. Fly into Stockton during the later part of the week to hear him.

This video right here is hilarious. Im a student pilot myself and sometimes flying into big airports can be a nightmare. Yo Big up to that ground controller for fixing the mess on the ground there.

@Ci3lag0 Yes, very unprofessional and a complete waste of energy. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the .... Maybe he should be clearance delivery on a permanent basis.
I love this controller !! so bad he is not working on JFK anymore :(( I remember one day I was spotting and heard on scanner when he is asking JB how long will be flight and said: Thanks good u are so slow cuz my mother in law is on this plane I wanna make sure she will miss doctors appointment...

@clarkeyboi92 Totally disagree with your remark on his being unprofessional. He used a little humor to get the process straight again. Very well done!!!
HAHA....total entertainment, but total mess for him. I likes how he was laughing to drop his stress...Bravo to him. Jesus Jet Blue..they are all over the runway ..."I will put you somewhere"...hahahahaha
@jk6113 I never wasted my breath or energy on "How it happened, just on getting it straight" Unless a pilot was dangerous to the flow, just correct what it is and resume building the picture. I believe the change came after the mass firings by Reagan.
I'm very impressed, as a layman, by the level of this guy's concentration - I'm sure I couldn't do this even with a million hours of training - makes me feel safer with guys like this in charge... !
This ATC has said it himself, he's "screwed up". He seems confused where his planes are. But one thing good about him is that he's still pleasing despite the pressure his having. Good job bro!
damned scary - and it's forcast to get worse in the years to come due to increased traffic and antique equipment, facilities... glad i don't fly but rarely!!
Are u guys kiddin' or? This is an amizing performance by a very skilled controller. Its not his fault if somebody taxies out of sequense, because the don't understand their instructions. And what's this S*** about his temperement? He remains very calm, and he actually manage to stay positive during the entire "action". Guys, you really shouldn't comment on his performance if you don't know what you are talking about. Awsome job! Thumps up!
Ditto on that, Timo. A clusterfuck of the highest order at one of the busiest airports in the country! I don't have a problem with this controller at all! Despite the cluster of out-of-sequence airplanes, the controller stays relatively calm, stays in control, and keeps it moving!
This sounds just like a taxi dispatcher dealing with idiot drivers. No wonder that Danny Sullivan quit driving a taxi in New York and decided to race at Indy. Remember that 360 degree circle that Danny did in the middle of the track and kept on going to win the Indy 500?? He learned how to drive in NYC, home of 1,000 tongues...lol
omg! That atc controller seems to be quite stressed, and his temperement is high! Really nice upload, and it sounds like his ain't got any control of what his doing. thanks for this! beatiful! 5/5 ;)
It's Great to see how they handle Traffic across rhe Atlantic. Its so different to the UK. I control EGGW_TWR and ussed to control EGCC_GND. I have never had this much traffic at any of those airports. This is a great controller.
This guy's doing a good job even on a bad day -- he's probably got 60 planes sitting somewhere around the airport waiting for directions, probably 20 of which are all JetBlue E-170s, so he can't really look at the field and always know who's who immediately. He's tempermental, but he does his job.
I'll second that! This controller actually kept his cool and even injected a bit of humor when he completely lost the sequence. As a pilot, I would have been chuckling just listening to all of this. It beats having a stressed out controller snapping at us!
yes - there were one or two instances where his exasperation should not have been xmited...but overall, pretty professional at the busiest freakin' airport in the world.
Wow! 60th? I was 8th in line at Heathrow once and even that took us 15 minutes to get into position and take off. Imagine being 60th, that's a freakin 2+ hours in line. How boring was that? And why didn't they use another runway?
You can't "mix" runways, there is a set parameter of runway selection made with noise abatement, winds, upper winds etc, mixing runways gives you a crash and a taxiway mix up- simple logic and I am an ATC :)
wrong heavy traffic volumes causes landing and takeoff on the same runwayys. their is just different climb and landing patterns. popular ones are the breezy point and I think Kinarsy climb patterns
He has a tough, demanding and important job. He's entitled since he's the one who has to maintain control over the pilots and keep track of what the tower is doing. He saves lives, which is a million times more imporant than your janitorial job at Carl's Jr.
JBU1069: Yeah, we were sitting there waiting for the uh, Delta, and then uh, Delta said he was waiting for the uh, corporate, so uh, we continued on, and then uh, corporate followed us and then Delta was gonna follow corporate.
GND: Well, you can't just do....you can't do that, alright, see, this takes so much energy, guys, alright. DAL929, jeez, hang on a second, guys.
He seems to be a good controller. Any body can have a bad day ...

Runways are determined by surface winds and upper winds, tail winds then the opposing runway is used as it becomes hard to land on tail winds ;-)

What I mean by the other runway is... See, JFK has 2 sets of parallel runways. They should've distributed the traffic to the other parallel runway.

You can't "mix" runways, there is a set parameter of runway selection made with noise abatement, winds, upper winds etc, mixing runways gives you a crash and a taxiway mix up- simple logic and I am an ATC :)

wrong heavy traffic volumes causes landing and takeoff on the same runwayys. their is just different climb and landing patterns. popular ones are the breezy point and I think Kinarsy climb patterns

GND: Great. DAL1869, you're behind the Hawker?
DAL1869: Correct.
GND: JBU1069, you gotta just do what I ask, sir. DAL929, follow the 7-5.
DAL929: We can do that, behind the 7-5, DAL929.
GND: DAL1867, this probably screws you up, too. Where are you right now?
DAL1867: Yes sir, we're number two, on Bravo short of Victor.
GND: DAL929, you were on Bravo short of Victor.
DAL929: That's affirmative, sir.

This ATC op has some issues. He doesn't need to argue and just give directions. What a shit.

He has a tough, demanding and important job. He's entitled since he's the one who has to maintain control over the pilots and keep track of what the tower is doing. He saves lives, which is a million times more imporant than your janitorial job at Carl's Jr.

GND: Somebody didn't do something right. JBU1069?
JBU1069: Yeah, we were sitting there waiting for the uh, Delta, and then uh, Delta said he was waiting for the uh, corporate, so uh, we continued on, and then uh, corporate followed us and then Delta was gonna follow corporate.
GND: Well, you can't just do....you can't do that, alright, see, this takes so much energy, guys, alright. DAL929, jeez, hang on a second, guys.
DAL929: Okay, we're at Bravo, short of Victor.
GND: Yeah, right.
