TheSmallLebowski Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 I have yet to start flight school and have been working at Flat Iron for a few weeks. I notice that I have an extremely difficult time understanding what the crews put out over the radio. I can hear it but don't understand the actual words! When I know the context of the communication, such as a run-up radio check, then I know what they are doing and how I need to respond but I don't actually understand what they are saying. So when crews are out and they do a comms check with their location, I'm clueless as to where they are! Is this common? Are there any suggestions on how to get better and comprehending radio chatter?

Thedude Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Don’t worry about it, you’ll learn it as you go. It’s just something you’ll have to do to get better at, especially if you were street to seat and didn't have a job that involved using the radio a lot.

amp Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 I would say it's pretty common at first. You will feel lost for a while. The good thing is your IPs will handle the radio, easing you into it as you get more comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
