Title: Describe communication with ATC.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training II (20053-II) > Section: Operating the Aircraft

Description should include the following:

- Using proper radio phraseology and procedures contribute to a pilot’s ability to operate safely and efficiently in the airspace system.
- A review of the Pilot/Controller Glossary contained in the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) assists a pilot in the use and understanding of standard terminology.
- The AIM also contains many examples of radio communications.
- The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has adopted a phonetic alphabet that should be used in radio communications. When communicating with ATC, pilots should use this alphabet to identify their aircraft.
