Ever wonder what air traffic controllers really think when a student pilot keys up and nervously says, "Uhh, I think I wanna... land?" In this episode of Flight Tales, Alexandra Ross—a controller and local NATCA president—joins us for a hilarious, honest, and super insightful look into pilot-controller miscommunication, radio anxiety, and why the phrase “just say yes or no” matters more than you think.We talk about:The awkward truth behind chewing on the mic (gross).Why students get scared to talk on the radio.What controllers wish pilots would say.And yes, what happens when someone accidentally files “heading 390.”Plus: reality TV, union fundraisers, snacks in the tower, and what it’s like working with student controllers and pilots alike. This one’s part comedy, part crash course in communication—and full of personality.Owens Flight Training is a flight school based in Lafayette, Louisiana.www.owensflighttraining.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/owensflighttrainingInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/owensflighttraining
