"Talking on an aviation radio and understanding air traffic control (ATC) instructions can be one of the most intimidating aspects of flight training. In "Say Again, Please" Bob Gardner explains how the ATC system works and teaches pilots what to say, what to expect to hear, how to interpret and react to clearances and instructions, and understand the chatter of the other aircraft sharing your airspace. His conversational-yet-concise writing style will help increase your comfort level when using an aircraft radio. Inside are talk examples of typical radio transmissions explaining how ATC works, as well as simulated flights that clearly demonstrate correct communication procedures in each class of airspace. This hands-on book covers the following: - The ABCs of communicating - Understanding radio equipment - Communication etiquette and rules - VFR, IFR, and emergency communication procedures - Air traffic control facilities and their functions - Review of airspace definitions - Glossary of pilot/controller communication terms and phrases. Let "Say Again, Please" help you learn how to communicate in the air"--
