Pressing that button to talk to air traffic control can be one of the most intimidating things during flight training.

We have all seen the TV shows when an air traffic controller is talking to pilots so fast and in a language that sounds completely foreign!

Just like many students, I too struggled to overcome my communication fears when I was first learning to fly, but the tricks and tips I'm about to share with you will make such a difference in your confidence and help you continue to progress through your training.

Not being able to overcome the communications fear costs many students a lot of extra flight hours and a lot more money!
