YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn April 22, 2026, United Airlines flight 995 was landing at Newark Airport on a slightly diverting flight path. They choose to radio Newark's Tower to ask with mild sarcasm if they will receive direction. This sparks a very tense back and forth between the pilot and the ATC.
Captain Steeeve reacts to this conversation with some pointed words toward both parties. In addition to the chaotic exchange, he finds that the first officer struggles with a very simple task of reading back instructions. What is happening with this flight? The retired airline pilot explains the importance of communication, professionalism, and a possibly new radio system.
