New RT Guide for GA Pilots

New Interactive Radiotelephony Guide for GA Pilots Launched

A new interactive guide to radio phraseology for General Aviation pilots has just been launched and is available on the CAA website at www.caa.co.uk

The guide provides easy to follow examples covering the most common radio calls that a GA pilot makes. In many cases these are also available as an audio clip that will allow pilots tp hear the actual phraseology in use.

Areas covered in the guide include:

  • Arriving at and departing from aerodromes
  • Cross country flying
  • Operating from unattended airfields
  • Instrument approaches; and
  • Emergency messages

    The guide covers a range of phraseology used by Air Traffic Controllers, Flight Information Service Officers and Air/Ground Communication Service Operators. It follows a similar format to previous radio phraseology guides for commercial pilots and airside drivers.
