Very nice concise video. Like a lot of student pilots I have been intimidated by the thought of speaking to ATC basically the concern of getting it wrong. In practice it isn't that difficult as long as you know the structures as you explain. I've also found the sample flights and associated RT in the back of the Air Pilot's Manual Vol7 very helpful.

[ColinBarberGM]

Thanks, but it would be so much better without the music

First HUGE advice, the music can't be that loud, I can barely hear your voice!

The music ruined this vid. otherwise, good content.

The background music was unnecessary, too distracting and loud.

Saying thank you to ATC is not standard cap 413 phraseology
