1. general theory - the basics of radiotelephony
The first step towards safe sparking is understanding the theoretical principles. In this module, we explain the applicable regulations and the scenarios in which they apply. Key questions are answered here, including
- Correctly transmit numbers and lettersPilots use special radiotelephony alphabets and numbers to avoid misunderstandings.
- Standardised phrasesMany radio phrases are standardised internationally to facilitate communication and ensure clear instructions.
- Procedure for the initial callThe first contact is particularly important and follows a set pattern, which is also part of the theoretical training.
With this knowledge, you will be able to communicate efficiently and safely with the ground station and other pilots.
2nd ATS radiotelephone groups - Structured communication
Air Traffic Services (ATS) defines specific radiotelephony groups to standardise communication during the various phases of a flight. In our masterclass, we provide you with a complete list of the radiotelephony groups defined by the aviation authority (NFL) - in German and English.
- Structured according to flight phasesThe radiotelephony groups are structured and organised according to flight phases such as take-off, climb, cruise, descent and landing. This allows you to access the relevant information in a targeted manner.
- Ideal reference bookThis list is not only a learning material, but also serves as a comprehensive reference book that you can have at hand in the cockpit at all times.
This module makes it easier for you to navigate safely in the complex field of aviation communication and to transmit and receive instructions correctly.
3. practical examples - realistic scenarios for VFR and IFR communication
A good understanding of the theory is the first step, but it is only in the practical application that the true mastery of radiotelephony becomes apparent. That's why our masterclass contains practical examples of typical radiotelephony procedures for both visual flights (VFR) and instrument flights (IFR).
- VFR communicationThe standard procedures for flights under visual flight rules are presented, including radio communication at uncontrolled and controlled aerodromes, entry into aerodrome circuits and landing procedures.
- IFR communicationSpecific radio messages and procedures are required for instrument flight. In this part of the masterclass we will show you the communication for departure, approach, crossing control zones and cooperation with the air traffic control centre.
Everything you need for radiotelephony
Whether you want to prepare for your radio exam or refresh your knowledge - this masterclass gives you all the tools you need. Clearly structured theory, useful radiotelephony groups for reference and numerous practical examples make this course an indispensable companion for all private pilots.
Immerse yourself in the world of radiotelephony and gain the knowledge and safety that will help you keep a clear head in the air at all times.
