Great after all those years!
by Herbert from Carpinteria CA USA 
Pros: Lots of stuff, easy to understand, good price.
Cons: Would have liked more "difficult" converstaions.
Review: I am getting back into flying after 28 years of not flying. This product was very good in getting me up to speed for the various types of airspace and the communications necessary for that space. Everything was easy to understand and made sense. The one thing I would add would be those communications that are "really" hard to understand, either because of static, excess noise, speed of talking or pilot slang - decode some of those so the novices have some hope for the future.

Well organized and very informative- Weather "bonus" a plus
by Billy Carnley from Crawfordville, Florida 
Pros: Organization and breakdown of communications sequence.
Cons: Cost- but with "bonus" weather CD worth the cost
Review: Topics are very well organized and covers towered and non-towered airspace. Discusses basics and provides samples of actual communications. Does a very good job of breaking down components of communications.

Only down side, was some actual communications were not the best but that's happens in "real life" too. Plus, shouldn't have referred to lady pilot as granny- sounded little demeaning to me.

by Ricky from SMYRNA TN USA 
Pros: "real world" usage of radio communications
Review: I really loved this CD. Unfortunately, the CD cracked when I was taking it out of the case and so I no longer have the option to replay it. I sent an email to the company and I hope to have a replacement CD.

Made me sound like a pro!
by David from Temple TX USA 
Pros: Learn while driving in your car. Easy to grasp what's being taught.
Cons: none
Review: Prior to purchasing this CD I was terrified of radio communications. As a student pilot I had virtually no experience in this area. This CD gives real world examples of radio procedures for a variety of situations and airspaces. My CFI was amazed at how fast my communications skills progressed.

by Danny from Mulvane KS USA 
Pros: Good over-all review
Cons: needs some paper backup aids to illistrate where and how to find the proper frequencies. A lot of approach frequencies are dependant on altitude and direction.
Review: This is a good overall review session but I would not use it as a first time learning tool unless it was suplimented by a more detailed book.It does not touch on air to air freqency or guide lines or how to get on the air when there does not seem to be a break in the frequency. Overall though for just an audio aid it does the job.

by Charles from Vashon WA USA 
Pros: Very helpful in learning communication terms.
Cons: None yet.
Review: I haven't used "Squawk" very much, but when I have played it, it is a very helpful in the "what to say" and "how to say" of flight communications.

A must for ALL student pilots!
by Ash Dubey from Chandler, AZ 
Pros: Well organized, practical and comprehensive
Cons: None
Review: Like many student pilots, I suffered from mike fright. I tried many books did not find them to be as effective as this. Content are well organized for the situations i.e. class of airports, towered or untowered airports etc. This CD contains real pilot-ATC communication snippets. I liked the section on flight following and lost procedures. I played this CD in my car for a few times and I found HUGE difference in my radio confidence. Most certainly worth the money! A must for student pilots!

Excellent Review
by Mike Perkins from Havana IL USA 
Review: If you haven't spent much time lately using ATC, this is an excellent review as a confidence-booster along with some tips worth remembering. Don't expect to hear the AIM and the FARs repeated to you - this isn't a review of all the cumulated rules. It's ust down-home practical advice from an experienced flight instructor about communicating in ALL the different airspace classes.

Great product for the money.
by Wayne from Douglasville ga USA 
Pros: Very informative and not boring.
Cons: None
Review: This product met my expectations of a no nonsense approach to VFR communication. Very informative and easy to understand. After listening to the cd, I better understood the how and why of aircraft communication. The training cd took a lot of the mystery out of radio work. I really liked the fact that actual recordings of real radio transmissions were used.

Good CD
by John from Richmond TX USA 
Pros: Very good for updating your communication skills.
Cons: Not enough actual recorded tower.center communications
Review: Met my expectations. Very helpful. Needed more acutal tower/center recorded communications.

Nice introduction to VFR communications
by Larry Tarr from Pennsylvania 
Pros: The price is right, does a better job than some of the more expensive products.
Cons: Would have liked more material on Class B communications.
Review: This CD is an excellent primer for pilots with little or no experience communicating over the radio, particularly in tower-controlled environments. Other pilots might benefit from using it to brush up their skills. The material is arranged in logical sequence, starting with non-towered communications and progressing all the way through Class B. Explanations of procedures are clearly explained for all classes of airports, and sample recordings of live communications are dissected and well-explained. A must-have for every student pilot.

Excellent CD for new pilots
by A Customer from Dallas, TX 
Pros: Excellent for new pilots
Cons: It was so good, I wished it was longer. Does not elaborate much.
Review: I am a new pilot, getting used to Class D and regional approach controllers. I found this CD to be excellent in preparing me and, most importantly, giving me more confidence that it is not so difficult or complicated. Highly recommend.
