Aviation Communication and Flight Radio by Mike Becker

A practical, hands-on, full colour, perfect bound book of over 142 pages containing hundreds of colour photographs, illustrations and diagrams. In aviation, where aircraft are moving about at very high speeds, communicating effectively with other aircraft and people on the ground is vitally important. This book focuses on aviation communication standards, including standard words and phrases, alphabet, numbers, and time. Effective communication over the radio relies on how to make a radio call, what to say, how to say it, and when to make a radio call. This book focuses on the knowledge required by pilots, crew and anyone who needs to communicate and/or operate a radio in an aviation environment. A technical book written in easy-to-understand language coupled with illustrations, diagrams and photographs provides a practical guide to aviation communication standards and flight radio operations.
