The course

What you'll learn

This course is aimed at aircraft ground crew who may need to understand and receive training in the operation and protocol of radio transmissions for aviation. It is specifically aimed at those people who may need to make use of the aircraft radio to communicate for ground operations purposes such as ground manoeuvring or aircraft systems or engine testing.

This course does, however, provide an overview of RT procedures that will be heard, and hence understood for communications between air traffic service units and other aircraft to aid situational awareness and understanding.

At the end of this course, you will be ready for a specific one-to-one practical session encompassing making RT calls to air traffic service units specifically for ground operations only. This practical session is included in the course price below. You will also receive a course completion certificate.
