Say Again, Please: Guide to Radio Communications Paperback – April 15, 2014

de gran ayuda a pilotos y controladores ya que es una recopilación de la realidad. y cada tema fumdamentado.

I was always comfortable speaking with ATC, but on occassions I found myself stuck for the right words or confused by listening to too many words.What I needed was more exposure to a broader range of ATC expressions, a script if you would like. I found what I was looking for in several books but opted to purchase this one after reviewing it in the local bookstore.I found this book to have very clear walkthroughs of each situation you can expect to encounter. It covered each class of airspace and talking to other sources such as FSS, Weather briefers, etc and I found this extra information to be invaluable.This book is especially useful to me whenever I review a flight I am about to make and wish to clarify what I can expect to be hearing at unfamiliar airports. It helps me to walkthrough and review the challenges ahead of me, and improves my own confidence dramatically. I've found this a great help in managing the energy I'm spending on flying the airplane, as opposed to thinking about what it is I want to say.There are also many great tips in this book, some of which I have not seen covered elsewhere or heard from an instructor yet have helped me understand why we say things in a certain way and when it's perhaps better to deviate from recommendations and work with ATC for better results.This is probably a cheaper and handier alternative to communication simulations software. I thought about getting such software just so I could practice each scenario and I am sure there are benefits in doing that but I'm glad I spent less money on this book instead. I don't think that software would have offered much more than the book and the cost savings make this a more economical purchase. The cost difference is an hours flying and I know what I'd rather do. This book was more than good enough.This is a very handy book for student and low hours pilots to have. I'm sure as I gain more experience I'll probably continue to use this as reference.

I'm pursuing a PPL under part 61 so I'm basically building my own ground school curriculum from books here at Amazon. The various FAA books are good, and cover the basics, but in terms of putting it all together in terms of what you do when flying through the different classes of airspace this is the best book I've found. Not only does it cover the radio communications itself (and cover it rather well), it covers the rules changes a bit in different airspaces and is the best resource I've found so far for decoding sectional charts actually. If you're even considering getting this book just do it. I've read through it 3 times already and every time I learn something. Buy this book, a sectional chart for your area, and sit down with a cup of coffee and you'll figure it all out yourself.With all of that said, the author could really beef it up for a new edition if he wanted to. If I were the author I'd include color scans of sectional charts in each chapter, showing what the airspaces actually look like on the charts. Also I'd add a bit more to differentiate the different types of radio centers you talk to. He does describe them in the text, and includes an appendix which repeats the same information, but it just doesn't quite "gel" in terms of what each one is the way it should. Still an awesome book.

Love the information I got from this book so far, not done with it or more likely will never be able to put this one aside after reading it, too much information. In the book, shows how to get on local ATC so one can listen to the real McCoy and then one can observe the radar from a different sight while listening. So, one sees and hear what the ATC sees and hears. Can only take about an hour or so of this before I have to disconnect. Have much more respect for the people in the towers now, I think I would go mad if I had to do that job for a straight 8 hours. Even the ground vehicles must call before they can get clearance to cross a runway. An insight to a world most never think of. I listened around the holidays, when I knew the towers would be hopping.

A log of people have great things to say about this book, and I agree with them. Radio procedural stuff isn't covered well in most prep material, and isn't covered much on the exam, which leaves learning it while receiving flight instruction. That works, but it's not really efficient, and if you're like me you might rather be paying attention to all the other things going on more than the radio. So that's where this book fits in. Figure out how much it costs compared to an hour of dual time, and it's a bargain.If you're not working on getting a pilot's license, I don't think I'd recommend the book. Although I suppose if you were really into sim flight it could be nice

There is plenty good to be found in “Say Again Please,” but a surprising amount has changed in the time since this was apparently released. If you’re a student, double check some of what you read with your instructor.

Keeps referring to the Chart Supplement as the Airport/ Facility Directory. A little annoying that they couldn't make such a simple change. Otherwise the book is excellent. It's really clear and has great examples and references. I also fly in the NW, like the author, so having first hand experience of some of the places and examples he talks about is nice too.

So much to learn at first, it is like they speak a different language and we do. There is an updated version that would probably be better as a lot has changed over the years.

It helpped me while learning a lot. It was invaluable source on use of in-flight radio opperation as well as on the ground.

Very good .

Libro bastante básico, sirve para repasar alguna dudas técnicas muy sencillas no esperes algo muy avanzado.

Libro con introducción a la comunicación aérea en ingles, tienes que tener una base para entenderlo, pero si gozas de ella te puede ser de gran ayuda para darte una idea como se tienen que hacer.

Muy bien para examen de inglés
