    On Tuesday 13th October ground school will be learning how to talk on the radio as we explore Radio Telephony with guest speaker Amanda Rhodes ATC.

    Sounding competent when using the radio is an essential part of flying. Often students can be nervous when making a call to ATC (Air Traffic Control) but with training and plenty of practice you'll be reciting your callsign in your in your sleep. With plenty of hints and tips along the way there will also be an opportunity for pilots post PPL to ask any questions they have too!

    Join Capt.White as he guides us through HPL and answer any questions you may have. Human error is cited as a major cause in over 70% of accidents, and it is widely agreed that a better understanding of human capabilities and limitations - both physical and psychological - would help reduce human error and improve flight safety. Specific topics to be confirmed.
