Everything you need to know to talk to Air Traffic Control while flying IFR. Slip into the left seat of a variety of aircraft and practice talking to Air Traffic Control. Alongside you sits your instructor, Jeff Kanarish, a pilot with over 35 years of flying experience in military, corporate, commercial, and general aviation aircraft. You'll not only learn all of the standard phraseology and procedures for IFR, you'll also get insider tips and techniques for getting exactly what you want, when you want it from ATC. This is a very personal conversation between you and pilot who understands your struggle to improve on the radio. It's filled with humor and wit to make the lessons go down smoothly. Each chapter tackles a different phase of IFR flight in all the different classes of airspace. "Practical Headwork" at the end of each phase tests your knowledge and provides guidance for practicing your new skills in your own airplane.Along the way, you'll hear from various Certified Professional Controllers. They will tell you what is going on behind the scenes as they handle your flight.Whether you are just starting out in pursuit of an IFR rating, or you are about to upgrade from general aviation to a professional cockpit, Radio Mastery for IFR Pilots has got the depth and detail to get you up to speed on the radio.

Everything you need to know to talk to air traffic control while flying VFR. Newly updated and revised for ATC's NextGen system of operation, including ADS-B. This second edition adds links to free online videos of the book's flying scenarios. Sit in the left-seat of a simulated Cessna 172 and watch the techniques and procedures of ATC communication come to life in real time. Why is it so hard to put an intelligible sentence together when you key the microphone of your aircraft radio? Communication on the aviation radio band is complicated. The language of air traffic control is specialized. You must speak precisely and efficiently, without all the filler and extra words we use in everyday conversation. Your aircraft and air traffic around you continually move forward. You cannot put the situation on pause while you mentally catch up. It's no wonder so many student pilots, and even certified pilots, become brain locked when they key the microphone to speak. The mental, and even physical demands of speaking on the aircraft radio are ridiculously high. Learning how to meet those demands takes training, patience, and practice; a lot of hands-on practice. Radio Mastery for VFR Pilots is the training and the practice you need to talk confidently to Air Traffic Control (ATC). From VFR flight in uncontrolled airspace through VFR flight at busy, controlled airports, every situation is covered with real-life examples and plenty of humor. Best of all, each chapter concludes with hands-on practical exercises. Practice begins with chair-flying radio procedures at home and concludes with practice in your aircraft. If you have been flying miles out of your way simply to avoid controlled airspace, Radio Mastery for VFR Pilots is the solution to your problem. If you have avoided contacting ATC for flight following because you believe it is "too much work," this book will change your mind. Whether you are just learning to fly, or you are a certified pilot, Radio Mastery for VFR pilots is going to open the door to ATC and make you a skilled, confident communicator on the aircraft radio.

Why is it so hard to put an intelligible sentence together when you key the microphone of your aircraft radio? Communication on the aviation radio band is complicated. It's complicated because:--The language of air traffic control is specialized.--You must speak precisely and efficiently, without all the filler and extra words we use in everyday conversation.--Every time you key your microphone, the government and your peers listen to--and evaluate--everything you say.--You have to fly and navigate while talking. Any one of those 3 items takes a lot of concentration, and you are expected to do all 3 simultaneously, with little or no tolerance for error.When you look at the above list, it's no wonder so many student pilots, and even certified pilots, become brain locked when they key the microphone. The mental, and even physical demands of speaking on the aircraft radio are ridiculously high. Learning how to meet those demands takes training, patience, and practice; a lot of hands-on practice.

Human error is cited as a major cause in over 70% of accidents, andit is widely agreed that a better understanding of humancapabilities and limitations - both physical and psychological -would help reduce human error and improve flight safety. This book was first published when the UK Civil AviationAuthority introduced an examination in human performance andlimitations for all private and professional pilot licences. Nowthe Joint Aviation Authorities of Europe have published a newsyllabus as part of their Joint Aviation Requirements for FlightCrew Licensing. The book has been completely revised and rewritten to takeaccount of the new syllabus. The coverage of basic aviationpsychology has been greatly expanded, and the section on aviationphysiology now includes topics on the high altitude environment andon health maintenance. Throughout, the text avoids excessive jargonand technical language. "There is no doubt that this book provides an excellent basicunderstanding of the human body, its limitations, the psychologicalprocesses and how they interact with the aviation environment. I amcurrently studying for my ATPL Ground Exams and I found this bookto be an invaluable aid. It is equally useful for those studyingfor the PPL and for all pilots who would like to be reminded oftheir physiological and psychological limitations." –General Aviation, June 2002
