Course Objectives To provide students with knowledge and practical skills in IFR communication procedures according to ICAO and national regulations ALso develop proficiency in the use of standard radiotelephony phraseology in normal and abnormal situations. Make ensure correct application of communication procedures for air-ground exchanges in different phases of flight.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • 1. Explains ICAO and national regulations governing IFR communication procedures. 2. Use standard IFR radiotelephony phraseology effectively in all phases of IFR flight. 3. Applies proper communication techniques during clearances, readbacks, and ATC exchanges. 4. Interprets and report weather information in IFR communication contexts. 5. Demonstrates correct procedures in abnormal and emergency IFR situations (e.g. lost comms, PAN-PAN, MAYDAY). 6. Maintains situational awareness and effective crew coordination through IFR communication practices.
Course Content The terms, codes, talks and approvals techniques, the isues to be repated all used in avaiation communication; communication procedures to be used in case of wireless malfunction and emergencies.
