Communications can be accomplished visually using, for example, and Aldis Lamp to flash messages between aircraft and ground stations in Morse Code or through standard conventions associated with emergency situations.
The Air Traffic Control System. Introduction. This chapter will cover the communication equipment, com-munication procedures, and air traffic control (ATC) facilities and services available for a flight under instrument flight rules (IFR) in the National Airspace System (NAS). Communication Equipment. Navigation/Communication (NAV/COM) Equipment.
Communication between pilots and air traffic controllers is a process that is vital to the safe and efficient control of air traffic.Pilots must report their situation,intentions and requests to the controller in a clear and unambiguous way; and the controller must respond by issuing instructions that are equally clear and unambiguous.
Radio telephony basics. Introduction. Radiotelephony (RTF) provides the means by which pilots and ground personnel communicate with each other. The information and instructions transmitted are of vital importance in the safe and expeditious operation of aircraft.
Radio communications are a critical link in the ATC system. The link can be a strong bond between pilot and controller or it can be broken with surprising speed and disastrous results. Discussion herein provides basic procedures for new pilots and also highlights safe operating concepts for all pilots.
The most crucial points of the communication loop in the cockpit are; No.2, “Two pilots listen to ATC instructions independently without consulting with each other”, and No.5, “PF adequately hear backs PM’s read-back”. Number of the communication errors would dramatically been reduced by achieving these two points.
Smooth and efficient radio Communications connect pilots with air traffic control, ensuring the safe and expeditious flow of traffic.
