VFR Communicaitons

You probably felt intimidated when learning to talk on the radio. You’re not alone. In fact, VFR radio communications remain one of the scariest and most difficult things pilots must learn in order to fly in today’s airspace.

Once you learn to talk on the radio, the challenge is then to keep your communication skills sharp. This can be difficult, especially for pilots who don’t fly frequently. And with no “formal” communications training, it’s easy to develop bad habits over time.

This simple, Pilot-Friendly Manual eliminates mic-fright and helps you learn good communications skills quickly and easily.

IFR Communications

If you feel intimidated by IFR communications, you’re not alone. The IFR system is complex, and the number of radio calls pilots must understand can be overwhelming. That’s a problem. There are instrument-rated pilots who avoid flying IFR altogether. Some pilots let mic fright prevent them from getting the instrument rating at all.

This IFR communications guide eases that pain by using the secret to IFR radio work: virtually all communications follow a script. Once you know the basic script, the variations become simple, and that’s how this book works.

Consider it a Field Guide to all the things IFR pilots and controllers say.

Both Manuals Feature:

Task-oriented format—what to say, when, and where
AIM and FAA-approved radio phraseology
Also the phraseology you’re likely to hear in the real world
Table of contents makes it easy to find what you need
Fully illustrated with airspace and airport diagrams
Advanced communications tips and techniques
Digital manual looks great on an iPad; keep it in your EFB app for quick access
Spiral-bound 8.5” x 11” printed manual for easy use in the cockpit
Bonus videos to hear and see every radio call in action

For pilots of all levels

Videos Show You How It’s Done

Some people learn better through reading, while others retain better by watching and listening. Either way, PilotWorkshops has you covered.

They created 135 short videos demonstrating the VFR and IFR radio communications in action. These videos are available in Sporty’s Pilot Training app, so you can watch them on your computer, tablet or phone. They help you gain a better understanding of where, when and what to say on the radio.

The videos use the same table of contents as the manual, so you can jump right to the video you need.
