SWA2025: Departure, Southwest 2025, we are at 2000 for 10000.
DEPARTURE: Southwest 2025, NorCal Departure, radar contact, climb unrestricted, maintain 10000.
SWA2025: Unrestricted to 10000, Southwest 2025.
SWA2025: Southwest 2025, we need to level at 5000. We gotta deal with an issue here.
DEPARTURE: Southwest 2025, roger, maintain 5000. And do you need any assistance?
SWA2025: Not right now, Southwest 2025.

SWA2025: 17… Heading 170, Southwest 2025.
SWA2025: Oakland, Southwest 2025, we’re gonna need to return. We’ll need a few vectors before we come back, though. We're not ready yet.
DEPARTURE: Southwest 2025, roger that and I just wanna make sure, you don’t require any assistance or anything?

SWA2025: Alright, cleared to Oakland Airport via radar vectors, Southwest 2025, thanks.
DEPARTURE: Southwest 2025, I can give you delay vectors, kind of take you back up the coastline and into Oakland. Would that work for you? I don't know how long you need to delay.

THE VALUE OF THIS VIDEO:
THE MAIN VALUE IS EDUCATION. This reconstruction will be useful for actual or future air traffic controllers and pilots, people who plan to connect life with aviation, who like aviation. With help of this video reconstruction you’ll learn how to use radiotelephony rules, Aviation English language and general English language (for people whose native language is not English) in situation in flight, which was shown. THE MAIN REASON I DO THIS IS TO HELP PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND EVERY EMERGENCY SITUATION, EVERY WORD AND EVERY MOVE OF AIRCRAFT.

HOW I DO VIDEOS:
1) I monitor media, airspace, looking for any non-standard, emergency and interesting situation.
2) I find communications of ATC unit for the period of time I need.
3) I take only phrases between air traffic controller and selected flight.
4) I find a flight path of selected aircraft.
5) I make an animation (early couple of videos don’t have animation) of flight path and aircraft, where the aircraft goes on his route.
6) When I edit video I put phrases of communications to specific points in video (in tandem with animation).
7) Together with my comments (voice and text) I edit and make a reconstruction of emergency, non-standard and interesting situation in flight.
