Radio Telephony Practical test

We can provide training and testing for the CAA Radiotelephony Licence. Training will be conducted at Gamston for the CAA RT Practical test by Tim Darby a Boeing 737 Captain.

Allow 3 hours for all Briefings, “Flying” the route and De-briefing. All testing is conducted using modern computer-based routes on the RANT System developed by Oddsoft Ltd http://www.oddsoft.co.uk/

Reference material is CAP 413, http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP413.PDF

Candidates should study CAP 413 as the test is based on the Standard Phraseology contained in it.

Candidates are advised to organise a training session either with ourselves or their own school to ensure no points have been misunderstood and it is unlikely a pass will be achieved without some form of formal study.

Ground to Air Radio Operators licence training and testing.

*NEW* AIR TO GROUND COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE – ACGS Radio Operator’s Certificate

We can now offer training complete with the written and practical radiotelephony examinations required for an AGCS Radio Operator’s Certificate. The AGCS Radio Operator’s Certificate is required to be held by those persons who operate VHF aeronautical radio equipment in Aeronuatical Radio Stations providing an AGCS at an aerodrome or other location in the UK. Contact us for more details

Further Information
CAP 452 Aeronautical Radio Station Operator’s Guide is both a guide and reference document for persons who operate or wish to operate Aeronautical Radio Stations. It covers AGCS, OCS and Operational Control Communications (OPC) (also known as Company Communications).
CAP 413 Radiotelephony Manual is the prime source of information on radiotelephony procedures and phraseology for all Air Traffic Services, AGCS, OCS and OPC. The radiotelephony phraseology previously included in CAP 452 has now been deleted and references made to CAP 413.

BRIEF PRÉCIS OF UK PRIVATE PILOTS’ LICENCE GROUND SCHOOL DETAILS

The 7 subjects are Navigation, Meteorology, Air Law, Operational Proceedures, Flight Planning and Performance, Communications, Aircraft (or Helicopter) General Knowledge, Principles of Flight, Human Performance. The amount of time on each subject depends on several things such as prior study, previous knowledge of the subject, (ie, If Renewing a Lapsed Licence) flying experience (ie, if converting a foreign licence or converting to/from Helicopters) etc but as a general rule the “lengthy” subjects, such as Met take 2 days and the “smaller” ones, such as Law, Comms, R/T a day, or so.

Prices include all practice papers and use of the CBT (Computer Based Training).

If you have any questions, please call either me on 07798 801080 or my partner Tim Darby on 07747 047686 and we’ll try to answer them, though much of the PPL and IMC Rating Licence admin info is in CAP 804.

The dates are arranged to suit you and the instruction is on a “one to one” basis, although occasionally I ask people to join up with another student if , for instance, a student is up against some kind of time constraint with the CAA or his flying school.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AT TRUE AIR SPEED TRAINING.
