Hey everyone, Jason Schappert here
of MzeroA.com along side John, making his video debut,
John's normally behind the scenes making all the magic happen, he's our Director of Video
Production here at MzeroA.com, doing this a very long time, you've met him at many airshows
I'm sure of it. We've got out ourselves in a bit of a jamb here.
We're out doing some great online ground school videos, we landed at Xray 60,
it's kind of become an overcast layer, a broken layer
kind of working its way on in, with this cold front here, and we now need to depart
IFR, Williston is a pilot controlled
airport, how do we get our IFR clearance out of a pilot controlled airport?
There's a few ways to do it, really three ways to do it. You can call an RCO, remote
communications outlet, a GCO, a ground communications outlet, if the airport
has these facilities available, or you can call the Leidos
IFR clearance delivery line as well, you can give them
a ring as well. So, we have all that set up, we have our number
all set up, we're going to go ahead and make that phone call now.
And grab our IFR clearance on the phone on the ground, and then we'll go ahead and
depart here. Turn that down just a bit while we make that phone call.
[Ringing]
Jax approach. Morning this is Jason Schappert in 23 Mike Zulu,
I'm number one for 32 at X 60, ready for
departure and IFR clearance. Standby.
November 23 Mike Zulu, you're
cleared to the Ocala airport as filed,
when entering controlled airspace, fly heading one seven zero, climb
maintain three thousand, departure frequency is
118.6 Squawk four two
three three. Alright, so cleared to
Ocala, one seven zero on departure up to three thousand, 118.6
four two three three is our Squawk.
November two three mike zulu, read back is correct, and you're void if not off in
five minutes. Okay, void if not off in five minutes, and we'll call you on eighteen six then, thank you
for your help. Thank you, have a good flight. See ya.
Alright, perfect, so we got that, we'll put the phone away, run-up is already
complete, I'm just going to get my door shut, done letting that Florida air conditioning
in, remember to turn up the frequency you're on, though, cause you weren't listening
to it for a bit because you were on the phone, so we'll listen to that.
And watch for just a bit here, our run-up is already complete, everything
is set, I'm looking down three two, I don't see any body, looking
at the base of three two, I don't see anybody. Williston Traffic, TBM short final two
three, low approach, Williston.
Three two, and TBM's on short final for two three, so we'll wait just a second.
And Williston traffic, two three mike zulu's holding short of
three two for that TBM traffic, then we'll depart at Williston.
Everything is set, I've got Ocala set, I'm going to go ahead and bug my
heading out of here, which he wanted a one seven zero,
bug my altitude as well which is up to three thousand
feet, all of that is set. All of that looks
good. We'll let that TBM announce
he's clear, eighteen six is my next frequency,
my transponder squawk code is in, you've seen the videos before you know it's all about
thinking ahead of this airplane, doing everything we can
on the ground. TBM is on the missed, climbing through a thousand feet
straight out runway two three Williston. Alright, he's on the missed, he's out of threre
and we'll go ahead and depart. And Williston traffic, Skyhawk two three mike zulu's departing
runway three two, at Williston.
He's already up and out at a thousand feet, we'll go ahead and depart.
Alright looks good, heels at the floor, toes at the bottom of the pedals, smoothly applying some full power
engine gauges green, green, green,
airspeed is alive
Whew, good little wind there.
[radio]
[radio] He's continuing out to the South, we'll be
out in the South as well, but I'd argue a TBM's a little faster than us today
We're looking great, just watch that crossing runway as we come across it
Looks clear, and he wants us on a one seven
zero out of here,
We'll make it all the way to the downwind
we'll make a downwind departure, then I'll show you another great trick
a very smart controller shared with me.
Williston traffic, two three mike zulu is turning left crosswind, runway three two
we'll be departing the area to the South, Williston traffic.
We'll turn this corsswind, what that controller taught me,
is when I contact Jax approach, or the approach controller at this point,
when I call them up and report that I'm just off of Williston,
to go ahead and call them, and give them an Ident
as well, because they're gonna ask for the ident anyways, here, I'll make this downwind
departure here, we're just about to enter controlled airspace and we'll give them a call
Williston traffic, two three mike zulu is turning left downwind, runway three
two, departing the area on the downwind, Williston.
Here comes my one seven zero, over to
Jax approach,
[radio]
[radio] I've already got my hand ready on the ident button,
to give them that ident in a second,
[Radio]
[radio]
[radio] Afternoon Jax, skyhawk two three mike
zulu just off X sixty one seven zero on the heading, twelve hundred climbing three thousand
November two three mike zulu, Jax approach, have radar contact
one mile southwest of Williston airport, advise when you get
information delta for Ocala, expect the ILS 36
Will advise Delta, and expect the ILS for three six, at Ocala, thank you, two three mike zulu
So you notice how I gave him that ident right away, we were radar contact on the next radio call
wasn't radio call to radio call trying to identify all that, one seven zero
I need to grab the weather now at Ocala was the next thing he asked for.
We'll keep on climbing up here.
[radio]
[radio] I've got traffic.
[radio]
there's our weather. November two three mike zulu, maintain three thousand
and confirm it's to be an ILS full-stop three six. Maintain
three thousand, and yes that ILS three six will be a full-stop, two three mike zulu.
[radio]
[ATIS] [radio]
[radio] this it the ATIS
and him simultaneously.
Echo now. [radio]
[radio]
Got echo, altimeter is all the same, everything looks good.
Jax, two three mike zulu has Echo at Ocala.
November two three mike zulu, roger.
[radio]
"approaching altitude,"
altitude's coming up here, all's looking great, letting the auto pilot now do some
work. Three mike zulu, turn ten degrees left. Ten left,
for three mike zulu. The beauty of having that heading bug and everything else ready to go.
that wind's really blowing us a lot here so let it turn us over ten left here.
[Music as we skip ahead to final]
[still skipping ahead listening to cool music]
[more music,]
[still a bit more, whoa, final]
And we're already clear to land you can see we got a direct
crosswind over there from the left, I'm going to keep just my ten
degrees of flaps in, not a big deal, it's very, very windy, it's probably the right call anyway.
Plus we like landing long, because we have a very long taxi.
And we'll
just hold it off, hold it off, putting that upwind wheel
down first, looking down that runway, hold it off, hold it off,
and just let it roll, save those brakes no need to
eat up those brakes. Cessna three mike zulu say intentions
Back to the north T-hangars, please.
You want to go all the way to Alpha one, or Alpha three? We'll hop off at alpha three for you.
Turn right Alpha three and taxi to the T-hangars. Alpha three, T-hangars
with you, thank you two three mike zulu. So there you have it, how do we
get our clearance at a pilot controlled
airport, always something different, always learning
something new as well. Can't wait to read your comments below
this video on FaceBook, on YouTube, on MzeroA.com,

That a Good Pilot is Always Learning, have a great day guys we'll see ya.
I can just see there's gonna be a ton of comments about how much of a chatterbox I am.
Yeah, I was literally thinking that.
I wrote the Private Pilot Blue Print with the intention of if I could
do my flight training over, what I wish someone would have told me.
