SMAC241 Aviation Communication

Aviation Communication

Welcome to the show about learning to fly, living to fly, and loving to fly. You may be a new student pilot thrust into an unknown world when you first key the Mic or an experienced pilot with thousands of hours, we all can learn something about aviation communication. Today the crew is back together to discuss what we can learn about aviation communication from the beginner to the advanced pilot. We discuss some of the challenges we had and how we were able to overcome those challenges.
