This book is written in plain English with easy-to-understand explanations supported with many examples, illustrations and photos.

While this book follows Australian rules and regulations and provides example radio calls based on operations located in South East Queensland, anyone learning flight radio operations will find this book a valuable resource. It provides a practical easy-to-read guide to aviation communication standards and flight radio operations.
