In this video we're going over the basics of talking to air traffic control that you'll need for your private pilot license. It's one of the most intimidating things for student pilots! We break it down to make it easy by taking you on a typical flight. From start to finish, we'll cover just about all the ATC communicating you'll need to do, and even cover what some of the stuff they say actually means! Now, this is basic radio communications for VFR flight and geared towards the student pilot, rusty pilot, or the pilot who usually only fly's at uncontrolled fields. It can even be good for part 107 or for VATSIM! . BUT, it's the first in a new series we're making to cover just about EVERYTHING you need to know about talking to air traffic control.
