Speaker(s):
Dan Dyer, Herb Patten
Brief Description:

Flying through SF Bay Area airspace requires a high degree of situational awareness and sophisticated radio skills. And yet, radio communication is rarely taught as a specific subject during private pilot training. Usually, new pilots just absorb what they hear on the frequency around them, both good and bad. Although some radio techniques are covered in ground school, rarely do student pilots get the time devoted to demystifying this often-confusing subject.

This safety seminar, "Radio Communication Basics" is meant to bridge the gap, to help newer pilots understand the structure of radio calls and how to improve their own radio skills.  The presentation will begin with a review of radio communication phraseology and use. What part is structured? What part is unstructured? What words are good official phraseology, and what words are considered jargon, slang, or poor grammar?  If you are new to radio communication, or just want a great review to fill gaps in your pilot education, please join us.
