ATC gibberish (The Aviators S02 Preview 1)

[batmanh20]

Just wondering but when pilots apply reverse thrust, why do they still hold on to the lever, and not just leave it there?

[MrDontDissMe]

lol he entered 210 into the speed hold!..... i make that mistake all the time in fs

[djroe86]

he also told the pilot to turn to hdg210. It showed the pilot reading back the instruction and turning the autospeed knob to 210. silly peeps Just say what u wrote Fly lol.

What does it mean when the tower says "winds gusting 140 at 50?"

[TheAviatorsTV]

@flightsimvids2 The tower actually advises that winds are 290 at 12 gusting 18. That means that the winds are blowing from the northwest from a compass heading of 290 degrees at a speed of 12 knots gusting to 18 knots.

[flightsimvids2]

@TheAviatorsTV Thanks a lot!

[montipoli]

He TACd him, forgot position. That'd lose you your ratings in my facility

[tomtimex]

lol I understood everything at the beginning!

[Ilovealtoids]

@tomtimex no way!

[livetohuntkid]

is it not standard to activate the wing tip strobes when flying over cities?

[MrDantesmith]

Yeah seen Jeff on Just Planes Air Canada Captain the Embraer 190

[micahmx85]

these are awesome videos

[biggestMetallicAfan]

What a failure of a video. He did so much shit out of procedure.

[pilot182br]

Yo AMERICANS so Called aviators!! check your captain!! I think he needs some reading exercises!

[TheAviatorsTV]

@pilot182br: How so???

[budandbean1]

Hey AviatorsTV, This was really a great explanation and demonstration of a commercial arrival. Very nicely done, Thank You!

[TheAviatorsTV]

Yup, one in the same!

[FlyForB6]

Anybody else notice that after the first call to turn to heading 210 he turns the IAS hold to 210 instead of the heading select? Happens at 6:25 in the video.



[shonor6]

@FlyForB6

Not only that, but he turns on his landing lights when on final, when he actually should have turned them on below 10,000'... Huh?

[FlyForB6]

@shonor6 Maybe, I'm not quite sure. I have heard about turning the lights on below 10,000 ft but while I was spotting yesterday I could see the arrivals below 10,000 ft but they didn't turn on the lights until they were basically on final.

[shonor6]

@FlyForB6

Maybe it depends on the country, or perhaps specific conditions (weather etc').

[FlyForB6]

@shonor6 Perhaps. I was out at TPA yesterday and everyone was on the visual for 1L. I do know that they turn the landing lights on pretty high up at night (for obvious reasons).

[tztekila]

@FlyForB6 nice eye :-)

[biggestMetallicAfan]

@FlyForB6 You can also notice the numbers don't change.

[flightsimvids2]

@FlyForB6 I noticed it, but everyone makes mistakes right?

[FlyForB6]

@flightsimvids2 yep. It's just an observation.

[Qpilot625]

on one of the upcoming videos could you please explain all taxiway signs because i have a problem with understanding two way taxiways and i would greatly appreciate a tutorial.

for example if i were taxing of runway 25 and onto charlie, charlie connects to delta and delta goes in tow directions which direction should i proceed left or right presuming the terminal(s) stretch(es) all the way of delta. thankyou

[TheAviatorsTV]

@Qpilot625: Great idea! Bear in mind though that these aren't intended as "instructional" but rather informational.

[Qpilot625]

@TheAviatorsTV thankyou for understanding
