90% of Private Pilot Air Traffic Control in One Flight | ATC Basics

Talking to Air Traffic Control (ATC) can be an intimidating part of becoming a pilot, but it doesn't have to be scary if you know what to expect. In this one flight I wanted to demonstrate the vast majority of what kinds of ATC encounters you'll have as a VFR private pilot. Really it comes down to knowing what to expect and communicating clearly, and most transmissions just involve saying who you are, where you are, and what you would like to do. I hope this flight helps boost your confidence level talking to ATC and also shows you that if you mess up (like I did), it's still going to be okay!

I hope this video encourages you in your aviation journey!
