This is a good program for all pilots to watch, including us flight instructors. ALSO, I strongly recommend that anyone whom operates a radio at an uncontrolled airport watch this video. It is a great refresher to those operators in aiding us pilots needing their professional assistance. I dont believe all airport operators know how important they are to us. This video could help. FYI, I was recently told by one of them not to call them on Unicom to request fuel anymore. Yes, I was surprised and I think this person could use this course. I really think they would enjoy their job more by getting involved. I am often requesting fuel to be expedited. So it can help to let the airport know ahead of time so they can prepare. Why? I have a student who is getting billed instructor time while waiting on fuel. One more thing, I see it all the time. Pilots flying to an airport and not know what the traffic pattern is. They should know i agree, but a unicom operator could help with this, like I heard in the video. So pass the word. CFII/MEI Bennett, Knoxville TN
