Master VFR Communications

Don't let "mic fright" ruin your next flight.  Overcome that intimidation or refresh your skills with Comm1 as you exchange actual dialogue with Air Traffic Controllers from the safety of your desktop.  This Windows™- and Mac™-based instructional CD-ROM is the closest thing to talking on the radio in the cockpit that you'll find anywhere.

• Simulate ATC communications in dozens of lessons over the full range of VFR or IFR flight situations.

• Master AIM and FAA-approved radio phraseology.

• Prepare for each exercise with narrated briefings.

• Learn to anticipate ATC instructions and sequences in every type of airspace.

Practice Makes Perfect

The only way to become comfortable and proficient talking on the radio is with practice, right?  Comm1 has over 6 linear hours of interactive communication training, but you can practice for days and weeks on end — whenever you like. Locate frequencies quickly and master radio management skills with Comm1, so you'll always be one step ahead of the next radio call. Check out these features:

• Record and playback your own radio calls with interactive audio exercises.

• Operate the on-screen Comm 1, Comm 2, Nav 1, Nav 2, and audio panel — Comm1 radios tune and respond just like the real thing!

• Simulate emergency radio procedures.

• Access the most widely used aviation resources for frequencies and communication information from the Airport/Facility Directory, AOPA's Airport Directory and Sectional Charts.

Airspace Avoidance

Ever fly around a big a big chunk of airspace just to avoid talking to ATC?  No more.  The instructionally sound curriculum in Comm1 takes you through progressively more complex airspace, so that you develop the confidence to communicate while flying in any environment. Here's how it works:

• Use actual aeronautical charts, airport diagrams and other visual aids in over 70 comprehensive lessons and scenarios.

• Talk to ATC and other pilots as you fly through Class B, C, D and TRSA airspace.

• Hear examples of what you are expected to perform in each lesson.

Talk the Talk

If you get tongue-tied when you pick up the mic, then Comm1 will help you untie the knot.  Being prepared with what to say, when, and in what order, is half the battle when mastering radio communication skills. Comm1 lets you practice selecting and making the correct radio announcements and responses in all types of flight settings.

• Learn when to transmit in the midst of "live" ATC exchanges.

• Receive immediate audio feedback to your recorded radio calls.

• Critique and compare your own radio speech with that of an expert.

• Practice making requests for Radar Flight-Following and Approach/Departure Clearances.

You Do the Math . . .

Few pilots can afford to log all the hours necessary to concentrate on their radio proficiency in a rental aircraft. Comm1 offers you over 6 hours of self-paced, interactive communications training — that's $450 of dual time at most FBOs — for only $99.95.

• The most economical aviation communication training solution available anywhere.

• A sound investment in your own flight safety.

• Satisfaction guaranteed!

Practice with Comm1 at home and make the most of your next flight!

Customer Reviews For Comm1: VFR Radio Simulator CD-ROM: Write a review

Thursday, May 15, 2008 Help me in improve radio communication a lot. by Chumanus from Bangkok Thailand  Pros: Good simulation lesson. Cons: Screen does not adjust according to screen resolution. Review: Easy to install. Good lesson arrangement and pratice simulation lesson. I have improved a lot. My mic fear is gone. Friday, August 31, 2007 I would recomend Comm1 to any student pilot, even if they had a great CFI by Frank W. Dicorte from China Spring, TX   Pros: covers every aspect of radio conversation in all airspace. Cons: I am sure there are a few but not to my knowledge Review: The Comm1 Radio simulator surpassed all of my expectations. I highly recommend you purchase the Flight Simulator headphone adapter also, it makes the simulator much more enjoyable. I have had my Private pilot Certificate for many years, and never have had the confidence to make me feel at ease talking on the Radio. Comm1 has given me the confidence to fly into a controlled towered airport. Friday, August 10, 2007 Comm1 VFR Simulator is Colorful by Dan Patterson from Mansfield, TX  Pros: Builds Confidence, Great Training Aid, Colorful Cons: Priced too high for what you get Review: Comm1 seemed to help a bit with my radio skills, by reducing the fear I have talking to the control tower, and making me feel more confident in my transmissions. I think the price for what you get is probably not very good, but it is a great training aid. Tuesday, March 06, 2007 by R22 Student Pilot from Brooklyn, NY  Review: I am currently training for my VFR Helicopter rating and Comm1 VFR training program has been a great help. I use the program before every flight lesson and I found out that it has help me focus more on my flying instead of my radio communications. One thing that I wish that they would improve on Comm1 is to allow me to pick an airport so that all example and training scenarios are of my home airport and region. Besides that, it is a great program that gets me into flying mode when I am getting ready to train on the weekends. Thursday, February 15, 2007 by C-152 Pilot from Marlboro, NJ  Pros: Step by step structure, make it very easy to follow. Cons: Exercise not flexible enough. Review: Tuesday, November 14, 2006 by Rather B. Flyin from Baltimore, Maryland  Review: This software helped me out tremendously with my radio calls when I first started flying, especially since I fly from an non-towered FBO located right in between B.W.I and Washington-Regan airport which are both class B's. I can't stress enough to student and private pilots how great of an investment this software is!
