Virtual Flight Safety School – Radio telephony and crew management

In episode four of Season Two of the Virtual Flight Safety School, Captain Scully Levin talks about two things that combine to maximise safety in flight procedures, ICAO radio telephony and crew resource management.

Clear and standardised communication between aircraft and air traffic control is essential for flight safety, as is the requirement that the flight crew is operating at a peak level in terms of concentration and task management. These apply to the largest of airliners with multiple crew, to smaller, general aviation aircraft operated by a single crew member.

This series is a must for general aviators who have obtained their private pilot’s license with 40-50 hours and are working toward commercial certification at 200 hours.
