  Damn I hate that accident! I’ve studied it many times and it makes me angry and sad every single time.

  The thing that struck me is how many times she was cleared to land....

  My biggest fear in aviation is radio communications and learning the pilot language. <br>I will remember to operate the airplane first and then communicate on the radio. <br>Your YouTube Chanel helps me alot.

  This is an excellent video &amp; example of a pilot who needed to say no to ATC. SO many pilots think they have to follow every ATC instruction. &nbsp;I have been flying for 54 years &amp; ATC tower for 10 - 4 of those at busy southern California airports.

  Great reminder about being assertive when needed. Happy Birthday MzeroA- You’ve taught me so much. Thanks Jason.

  After watching this, if I ever get into a situation like this, I would tell tower &quot;negative, you can ask traffic behind to go around&quot;. If they give you a number to call, you can quote this accident.

  I love that radio communication it clearly for students understanding.

  I am no pilot and am pretty new to all this. With that in mind I counted: 6 runway changes, 7 different voices and &quot;unable&quot; was said, as you stated, 0 times

  You make great videos, thank you.<br>Comment and question: I love aviation and spend a lot of time learning about it and watching videos on it. One aviation technology that I think could use much improvement is the quality of radio communications. In this day and age of satellite GPS and satellite phone communications, why are we still using communications over VHF frequencies? Why not digital communications to/from ATC-to-satellite-and-to-aircraft? Such communications would be crystal clear and impervious to altitude or terrain. It&apos;s the 21st century. It&apos;s about time.<br><br>You could even design the equipment in the airplane so you would still enter the appropriate COM frequency for communicating with ATC, as per VFR/IFR charts and airport information. The onboard equipment would just encode that target destination COM frequency into the digital audio signal sent up to an appropriate satellite, down to ATC and then back again on its way to the pilot. The delays in transmission would be minimal if the satellites are in low earth orbit of 1000 miles up or so and if appropriate COM satellites are placed over large cities or other areas of the country. Delays of just a fraction of a second would be possible. I suppose the pilot would still be FAR required to monitor VHF communications, to remain aware of local traffic situations. The communications over VHF radio would continue as well, in order to remain compatible with existing aircraft that do not have the newer satellite setup. Note that if the transponder code issued to an airplane by ATC is embedded into the information transmitted to/from the COM satellite, then the pilot could optionally filter the incoming satellite communications and not hear the audio meant for other aircrafts. In addition, with the location of the aircraft, the ATC communications would properly encode the transmission for reception by only the appropriate closest target plane to location of ATC, to account for the case of the same VHF frequencies used in multiple places over the country.<br><br>The above technology would certainly enhance safety for GA aviation.<br><br>I wonder if this type of request can be made from AOPA or other GA pilot organizations. The support of such GA special interest groups would be needed in Congress to request the required funds for the study and implementation.<br><br>I just wonder if all this would be feasible and affordable.
