Stop Feeling Intimidated, Start Talking Like A Pro
If you feel intimidated by IFR communications, you’re not alone. The IFR system is complex, and the number of radio calls pilots must understand can be overwhelming. That’s a problem. There are instrument-rated pilots who avoid flying IFR altogether. Some pilots let mic fright prevent them from getting the instrument rating at all.
This IFR communications guide eases that pain by using the secret to IFR radio work: Virtually all communications follow a script. Once you know the basic script, the variations become simple, and that’s how this book works.
Consider it a Field Guide to all the things IFR pilots and controllers say.
"This manual is a goldmine of actionable information that has really helped me work with ATC in different ways. My new found skills from your book have more than paid for the materials in fuel and time saved on the ground and in the air...Thanks again for producing such an awesome product!"
Approved Phraseology AND What You’ll Hear In The Wild
The manual includes scripts of the most common, most useful, and most critical IFR radio communications, with examples of what ATC and the pilot say and where they are when they say it. Additional tips and details are provided in sidebar discussions throughout, along with variations of radio calls you will hear in the real world.
On complicated and evolving phraseology like “Climb Via” and “Descend Via”, we spoke directly with the FAA staff who wrote the official guidance, and with active controllers in the field.
We put this manual together so you know how it should be done—and understand the non-standard differences you’ll find in the real world.
A Quick Reference Guide When You Need It
This manual is more than a training tool. It’s a handy, quick reference guide you can refer to before or during a flight. For example: What are your best options for requesting a clearance from the non-towered airport you’re departing? Just look it up in the table of contents and in minutes you’re comfortable with the procedure and ready to go.
The manual makes it easy to find what you need, when you need it.
Keep one copy in your flight bag and another on your iPad.
Videos Show You How It’s Done
Some people learn better through reading, while others retain better by watching and listening. Either way, we’ve got you covered.
We created 82 short videos demonstrating each IFR radio communication in action. These videos are available online, so you can watch them on your computer, tablet or phone. They help you gain a better understanding of where, when and what to say on the radio.
The videos use the same table of contents as the manual, so you can jump right to the video you need.
