Author: Bob Gardner
Pages: 208
ISBN: 1-56027-573-1
Edition: 4th
Description
Talking on an
aviation radio and understanding air
traffic control instructions can be one of
the most intimidating aspects of flight training.
Bob Gardner explains how the
ATC system works and teaches readers what
to say, what to expect to hear, and
how to interpret and react to clearances and instructions.
This new Third
Edition adds material on GPS, Land and
Hold Short Operations (LAHSO), and has
been expanded and updated to reflect current rules and operating
procedures.
Chapters cover communication etiquette and rules, understanding radio
equipment, emergency situations, and IFR communications
and clearances. Also
included: a concise summary of the FAA’s communication
facilities and their
functions, airspace classifications and definitions, and the
FAA’s recommended
shorthand for copying clearances.
The communication
requirements for entering, departing, and transiting each class of
airspace is
explained in detail by following the author along simulated flights. A
full-color sectional excerpt is provided, so readers can review the map
while
reading the explanation for flying and talking in each area. Readers
will learn
everything they need to communicate effectively in VFR,
IFR, and emergency
conditions. Softcover, glossary and index, illustrated throughout,
bound-in
full color map sample included.
