Jeppesen JA310115 JAA ATPL Training - Communications Book - JAR Ref 090

Communication is an essential skill for every pilot. The accurate and concise use of the correct phraseology enhances safety and results in a more efficient flight. Nonetheless, communication by radio is often an area that is dreaded by the student pilot. Whilst these notes are intended specifically to prepare the prospective Airline Transport Pilot for the JAR ATPL (A) examinations, they also serve to demystify some of the terminology that is encountered.  This volume takes the student from the basic principles of VHF and HF communication to its application in the VFR and IFR environment. The learning objectives for the JAR ATPL (A) Communications examination cover all aspects of radio telephony phraseology in the aerodrome, approach, area, and radar control environment. The distress and urgency procedures as well as the procedures to follow in the event of a communications failure are also covered.
