You're not alone. In fact, VFR radio communications remain one of the scariest and most difficult things pilots must learn in order to fly in today's airspace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce you learn to talk on the radio, the challenge is then to keep your communication skills sharp. This can be difficult, especially for pilots who don't fly frequently. And with no “formal” communications training, it's easy to develop bad habits over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis simple, Pilot-Friendly Manual eliminates mic-fright and helps you learn good communications skills quickly and easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTask-oriented format—what to say, when, and where\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAIM and FAA-approved radio phraseology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso the phraseology you're likely to hear in the real world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable of contents makes it easy to find what you need\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully illustrated with airspace and airport diagrams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced communications tips and techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital manual looks great on an iPad; keep it in your EFB app for quick access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral-bound 8.5” x 11” printed manual for easy use in the cockpit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBonus videos to hear and see every radio call in action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere have been video courses and software programs built to tackle the problem of pilot communications. While these tools can help, we found that sometimes a simple printed manual is the best way to learn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many years, PilotWorkshops has been selling a line of Pilot-Friendly GPS Manuals that help pilots master the complexities of Garmin GPS Units. These manuals provide step-by-step, task-oriented training—and pilots love them!  They've sold thousands of these manuals because they get the job done in a simple, practical way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe team at PilotWorkshops figured if the Pilot-Friendly GPS Manuals worked so well, why not create one that tackles VFR radio communication in the same no-nonsense style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pilot-Friendly Manual for VFR Communications teaches you exactly what to say, when—in every kind of VFR flight situation. Use it to master radio communications as a whole, or as a quick reference guide (for example, brush up on Class C communications before departing on a flight to a Class C airport). The Table of Contents lists all the communications you will encounter in VFR flying and makes it easy to find what you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor pilots of all levels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pilot-Friendly VFR Communications Manual will help you improve on the radio, regardless of your flying experience.
