Radio Communications

In this course, I'll first introduce you to the functions of the radio, and cover some basic radio phraseology, such as the phonetic alphabet and how we format a radio call.

Next, you'll learn about the different entities that you'll be communicating with on the radio, what services they can provide, and how to address them. These include other aircraft, Flight Service Stations, and ATC, or air traffic control, which is comprised of Tower and Ground control, Air Route Traffic Control Centers, and Approach and Departure Control.

And finally, I'll give you many different examples of radio calls, starting out at non-towered airports, then towered airports, and radio calls that you might make on long cross-country flights, and how you would use the radio during an urgent or emergency situation.
