In this video, Captain Steeeve reacts to real ATC audio from Teterboro Airport involving a reported deer on the runway. Airport operations requested the runway be shut down so they could conduct an inspection and ensure the surface was clear before departures continued.
While the controller did close the runway as requested, the exchange quickly became tense. The controller’s tone grew noticeably frustrated, including a snarky remark telling the operator he could “go do his little inspection.” Captain Steeeve breaks down why wildlife on a runway is a serious safety concern, why runway inspections are mandatory in situations like this, and how professionalism on the radio matters — especially at a busy airport.
From a pilot’s perspective, Captain Steeeve explains what should happen when wildlife is reported, how ATC and airport operations are expected to work together, and why even moments of frustration on frequency can have real operational consequences.
