2022-06-19 radio work in c150 with sam
Channel: flysport
Date: 20/06/2022

This was really a struggle of a session. Doing C/D radio work and the first time I've flown a C150. I wasn't familiar with procedures or what it looks like to land. You can see me point to the dash for some of my calls as I tried to say the correct tail number- which is all digits, making it fun to say things like "landing on 20, 45720".

Some of the things I like about the RV is the simplicity- no fuel selector, no mixture, no carb heat. If nothing else it leaves more brain cells for talking (in the plane and on the radio).

0:00 starting (listening to opposing calls)
1:12 Portland Approach calls
3:07 Troutdale
6:19 Sam requests departure to Aurora
6:52 talk about handoff from Class D tower to flight following
7:20 ATIS and call Aurora tower. Wrong runway.
10:32 I volunteer the runway and then omit it on the next call (vs reading it back)
11:47 coming back to Twin Oaks
12:19 debrief, talk about the "wrong runway" at 7:20

Most of my videos are especially for me, but with this one it's especially true. It also falls under my goal of "posting my L's".
