What is ATC traffic in air traffic control?
TRAFFIC —A term used by ATC to refer to one or more aircraft. TRAFFIC IN SIGHT —Used by pilots to inform a controller that previously issued traffic is in sight. UNABLE —Indicates inability to comply with a specific instruction, request, or clearance. VERIFY —Request confirmation of information; e.g., “verify assigned altitude.”
What should pilots read back from ATC clearances?
Pilots of airborne aircraft should read back those parts of ATC clearances and instructions containing altitude assignments, vectors, or runway assignments as a means of mutual verification.
Can a recreational pilot fly without ATC communication?
Recreational pilots cannot fly in airspace requiring ATC communication, but it’s a good idea to learn to use the right words. This knowledge can help them in an emergency, and it helps prepare a recreational pilot for a private pilot certificate, if he decides to continue his training.
Why is the range of speech so important in ATC communication?
Most of what makes speech intelligible occurs in this range. The second reason is because atc communication uses AM radio. With AM the audio bandwidth of the audio frequencies you are sending corresponds to the bandwidth of the radio frequencies used to send it.
