This manual is designed to teach you aviation phraseology and guide you through the PlaneEnglish Aviation Radio Simulator to practice what you learn. When you are learning radiotelephony communications, it may feel a lot like rote memorization. But this manual encourages you to learn the meaning behind what you are saying. In other words, what are you accomplishing through a transmission? What information are you sharing with ATC? What information is ATC giving you? In addition to learning aviation phraseology, ARSim also introduces you to the phases of flight by giving you a tool to practice talking to all the ATC facilities, from Ground Control to Tower, Departure, Approach, etc. A successful flight relies on you and ATC sharing very specific technical information using a very specific technical language. This manual will help you understand what you are talking about and how to say it correctly.
