Course Information
Welcome to the VFR radio communications course. In this course you will be familiarized with the terminology used in air radio communications. Phraseology in this course will be given in examples. The examples used may state only one option of the following ambiguous statements: ‘left’ or ‘right’, ‘ascend’ or ‘descend’, ‘to’ or ‘from’, ‘magnetic’ or ‘true’, ‘inbound’ or ‘outbound’, etc. It should be understood that the either instruction may be given by ATC. As well, some instructions can have many variables i.e. rain, blowing snow, etc. The example will have one word used and the other variables will be listed as appropriate. The callsigns have been removed from the examples in order to reduce redundancy in the course. Courses are constantly monitored and updated when major changes in authority documentation is released.
