It was for me, especially when I had to fly to a towered field and talk to AirTrafficControl (ATC). We had to quickly learn the cadence of communicating with Clearance Delivery, Ground, Tower, Approach and Departure controllers. Communicating with airtrafficcontrollers doesn’t have to be a stressful experience.
Talking to airtrafficcontrol (ATC) while flying IFR is challenging in the beginning, but with time and practice, you can master it! Use the CRAFT acronym to note down departure clearances quickly. You cant rely on visual cues to avoid other traffic – or even navigate accurately. Why Why are you calling?
At that point, you proceed on course as directed by airtrafficcontrol. The tricky part is that you are expected to proceed on course after reaching 5,000′ MSL, so technically, this is sort of your “expect further clearance” information.
Basics of Radio Communications With AirTrafficControl The guiding principle of ATC communications is understanding. Make those practice calls even more realistic by utilizing live airtrafficcontrollers who can help simulate real interactions. ASA Airplane Flying Handbook can be a great resource.
