In Part 3 of their four-part conversation, NATCA member and experienced pilot Jamie Sanders (Denver/Centennial ATCT, APA) and Major Katie Cook, a third-generation military aviator and the first female Navy Blue Angels pilot, focused on pilot-controller communications. “I would say that ATC and talking on the radios is way harder than flying an actual airplane,” Cook said. “I know that sounds weird, but being able to manipulate the airplane and put it where you want to, that's all on you and you can fly and practice that. But communicating with someone outside the airplane is scary, and you know that everyone else on the radio can hear you, so you're gonna sound dumb if you mess this up.” Cook recalled as a young pilot, on her kneeboard - a cockpit accessory used to organize charts, paperwork, and digital devices - she wrote out scripts of what she needed to say to controllers, including things like how to request a clearance. “I had it all written out because I was so scared I was going to mess it up,” she said. That mindset changed, Cook said, when an instructor aboard her C-130 suggested she think of ATC as another crew member, but just not in the airplane with you. Further cementing that thinking last year was an incident near the El Centro Naval air facility involving a KC-130 that made contact in the air with a jet during refueling and made an emergency landing. Cook said the controllers jumped right in to do everything needed to handle that situation. “It's very unusual for a pilot to call 911 himself, or herself,” Cook said. “The controller's already on top of that. They've got your back and they're looking out for you so it's just another crew member that just happens to not be physically with you. Once I could think of ATC like that, that they were a friend that had your back … that changed my perspective of ATC completely.” Sanders said controlling carries the same mentality; while precise phraseology is required, the path to effective communication can sometimes include verbal stumbles. That's just human nature, she said. “I just hope that pilots all understand that we're all in this together,” she said.

The SimpleFlight crew welcomes back Air Traffic Controller, Eddie Trujillo. Eddie has been quite busy at C90 (Chicago Approach), including his recent checkout on North Satellite. That means Eddie is now working all sectors around O'Hare, and its quite a challenge. As we continue to collect survey responses (click the link above to add your voice), it was interesting to see multiple requests on how to fly VFR in a busy area like Chicago, including the beautiful Lake Shore Run. The timing couldn't have been better, as Eddie tackled that with great insight for how best to partner with ATC to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Eddie also talked about how his dream of being a pilot took him down a path in which he discovered his true passion... Air Traffic Control. But the main message in this episode is the Pilot / Controller partnership. We are all focused on the same goal, a safe flight. And together, we make it happen. =============== We hope you enjoy listening as much as we love talking to others who share our passion for aviation.

Brandon Anderson had a goal. That was to bring aviation into his life in a big way. As he is an independent technology consultant, the path to reaching his goal was not so clearly defined. Diving in with both feet, Brandon headed out to the west coast to get on the fast track to earning his CFI, and then followed with his CFII. Listen in as Marc learns about Brandon's first year as a CFI, with over 650 hours flown. The experiences, the surprises, and the opportunities that have come as a result of his investment, makes for an inspiring and meaningful discussion. The conversation moved to the Pilot / Controller relationship and what are the ingredients to making it an effective partnership. Turns out, some key concepts, like Communication, Trust, and Focus are every bit as important as in any other partnership, like marriage, business, and social relationship.

When you cannot comply with an ATC clearance, the magic word to use is “unable”. Simply saying “unable”, and nothing else, might not get you completely off the hook with ATC. I’ll explain why, and what to do about in this month’s edition of IFR Flight Radio. Show Resources From the Aeronautical Information Manual’s Pilot/Controller […]
