Say Again, Please

Seventh Edition

Talking on an aviation radio and understanding air traffic control (ATC) instructions can be one of the most intimidating aspects of flight training. In Say Again, Please, Bob Gardner explains how the ATC system works and teaches pilots what to say, what to expect to hear, and how to interpret and react to clearances and instructions. An industry standard for nearly 30 years, this new seventh edition has been updated to reflect current aircraft equipment, NAVAIDs, and airspace infrastructure, rules, and procedures.


This hands-on book covers: the ABCs of communicating; understanding radio equipment; communication etiquette and rules; VFR, IFR, and emergency communication procedures; air traffic control facilities and their functions; airspace definitions; and pilot/controller communication terms and phrases.
