When should you advise ATC of a change in true airspeed?
(e) Change in the average true airspeed (at cruising altitude) when it varies by 5 percent or 10 knots (whichever is greater) from that filed in the flight plan. (f) The time and altitude or flight level upon reaching a holding fix or point to which cleared.
How do you state altitude to ATC?
When the aircraft is climbing or descending, the pilot should state the indicated altitude rounded to the nearest 100 feet. SAY HEADING—Used by ATC to request an aircraft heading. The pilot should state the actual heading of the aircraft. SPEAK SLOWER—Used in verbal communications as a request to reduce speech rate.
Can you listen to ATC while on a plane?
Radios are never permitted in flight. However, there are websites with live ATC feeds so if the flight had WiFi you might be able to listen through a computer.

What is semi circular rule?
Introduction. The semi-circular rule is the basic rule for flight level or altitude selection in function of the aircraft heading in order to ensure basic vertical separation.
When will ATC omit frequency change restrictions?
ATC will omit frequency change restrictions whenever pilot compliance is expected upon receipt. Instruction to proceed directly to the specified position. Instruction to proceed to the specified position via the specified route.
What is expected of a pilot when receiving a transfer controller?
Pilots are expected to maintain a listening watch on the transferring controller’s frequency until the time, fix, or altitude specified. ATC will omit frequency change restrictions whenever pilot compliance is expected upon receipt.
Is the flight crew required to establish voice contact on the frequency?
The flight crew is not required to establish voice contact on the frequency. DM20 REQUEST VOICE CONTACT Note – Used when a frequency is not required.

How do pilots communicate with other ARTCCs?
Although they may be several hundred miles away from the ARTCC, they are remoted to the various ARTCCs by land lines or microwave links. Since IFR operations are expedited through the use of direct communications, pilots are requested to use these frequencies strictly for communications pertinent to the control of IFR aircraft.
