Best and Funniest Pilot ATC Conversations
Some of the Best and funniest Pilot and Tower Air Traffic control conversations from around the world including some Hot mics where the pilots gave a passenger briefing over the radio to all pilots by mistake. Some annoyed pilots and some really chilled out pilots makes for an interesting ATC exchange.
Some of the clips are of Southwest pilots, Delta Airlines and Jetblue. I also included general Los Angeles LAX footage of Asiana A380 taking off back in March. Funnily enough I just edited this video while in Seoul awaiting to start live streaming.

As a person that hates to fly sounds reassuring to me. Not reassuring when you fly into an airport and the plane seems to be a bit tippy, in no wind. On the ground ...pilot comes on thanking the trainee (or some sort of vernacular) for the landing. It was like WHO is driving this thing for the arrival 🤣🤣

"What is a carrier landing?" had me dead.
The guy complaining about no traffic on 16L... some airports (MXP, for example) use the L for landings and the R for take offs, and then they invert the order every day.
I thought I was missing something when the former navy pilot talked about his 123 carrier landings like it was a lot. I mean if you're stationed on an aircraft carrier wouldn't you be doing flights nearly daily, which hopefully includes an equal amount of takeoffs and landings, and rack up the numbers pretty fast? Oh well, I see he got some heat in the comments so I guess all is well.
@Winasaurus

I figure he had plenty of non-carrier landings, but prefers to flex the carrier landings as a harder target. Plus it depends when and where the carrier is. If you're stationed anywhere near the middle east lately you'll be in the air non-stop. If you're up near canada you're not flying unless you've got a reason to.

In Chicago there was a Lufthansa flight that was taxiing to the runway when they called ground and said they had to return to the gate. When ground asked why the pilot said they were missing a passenger. Then an unknown pilot on frequency said "check your ovens." They never found out who said it but they tried.

I recommend you listen to liveatc.com and listen to somewhere in Western Europe, I'd recommend Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, anywhere like that. In the US it's extremely informal, New York is notoriously taxing for people who speak english as a second language, this is not particularly representative, by their nature, funny incidents are non-standard phraseology. So, no. You do not need to be able to banter with controllers or anything like that, but you will need to pass various proficiency tests if it's not a native language. Understanding the radio comes with practice, I've not used one in ages, but understanding is still easy enough, when speaking anything like readbacks is standardized and you are generally only expecting one or two possible responses, so it's never really that tricky.

I'm not familiar with that area, but a basic explanation would be that "WEED" is some kind of waypoint. Most likely it is some kind of radio transmitter on the ground that sends out a signal to be used for navigation by airplanes. Another way of reading what the controller said is like me telling you to drive straight to (somewhere in your area). Direct meaning go straight there, ie: don't stop at starbucks on your way over there.
