Radiotelephony subject contains supplementary information in addition to VFR and IFR communication ATPL subjects that fills the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical use of radiotelephony during actual flight operation.
The course covers the following main areas and give thorough information on:
Differences between certain countries, continents (content of atis, atc clearance, communication with ground staff and atc), types of operation (business jet, passenger flight, cargo flight, etops).
The course is not an obligation by the Part-FCL regulation nevertheless it is prepared to give a more comprehensive view for the pilot of the future to understand more deeply the correlations in aviation.
It is aimed to contribute to the achievement of safe flight during their proposed pilot career. It is crucial that a pilot could be able to recognize the hazard and apply for the well-known procedures in this matter during a flight.
