A short example. Your full training continues in your account.

  1. Read the instruction

    Understand what ATC is asking you to do before you build the response.

  2. Arrange the phrases

    Tap the building blocks into a clear readback.

  3. Check the order

    Review the result and use it to build the next response.

Give each part of the call its place

You know the words, but their order still takes thought. Practise building radio calls from sentence blocks and learn how an instruction becomes a readback.

Training example

Instruction first. Callsign after it.

Instruction

Traffic information

Traffic on short final.

Hold position, OE-DFA.
