Pilots will find the latest information on new FAA airspace reclassifications, requirements for Mode C transponders in Class B (TCA) airspace, and the consolidation of Flight Service Stations into regional Automated Flight Service Stations. Readers also find new material on radio communications procedures for in-flight emergencies, pilot responsibilities in and around controlled airports, and comparisons of radio procedures for the various kinds of terminal airspace. Illman uses examples to show the right and wrong way to communicate with ground-based services. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Informative easy to understandcontains all you need to know about aviation communication easy to understand and retain. Rating:  - Really good book to get you ready to take on mic frightThis is an excellent book to familiarize yourself with air traffic control and tower talk. I'm a private pilot and I learned in a relatively low trafficked area in Maine. The Portland tower was nearby but I didn't take advantage of it too much. I read the book one summer while I was still a student pilot . . . when I went up with an instructor and we headed to a towered airport he was very impressed on how I knew how to call them up and respond to them, I understood the flow of frequency changes ...

For every paragraph of substantial or useful information, there is a page of repetition and imprecise fluff-- the book would have been twice as good had it been half as long. Again, the book is good and will not be a waste of money, but there are other pilot communication books out now that deserve a closer look. Don't assume that this book is better simply because it is longer. Rating: - Great book for learning communications protocolThis is a great book for learning communications protocol for the various conditions a private pilot will encounter, and for helping to organize the cockpit relative to radio communications management. I believe it's a "must-read" for every private pilot. Rating: - The Pilot's Radio Communications HandbookAbsolutely essential, first rate information, and the guy can even write. It's an interesting, informative book that stresses clarity and concise communication with the tower and other planes. I can't recommend it enough.
