The following tips are recommended for all aviation communication:
- Use standard phraseology whenever possible to prevent misunderstandings.
- Keep transmissions clear and concise.
- Think about what you want to say BEFORE you press the button to avoid rambling transmissions.
- Make sure you are listening to the correct frequency and that the radio volume is at a suitable level.
- If there is a long period of radio silence, do a radio check to ensure your radio is correctly tuned and is operating normally.
- Always listen before broadcasting to make sure no one else is currently using the frequency. Don’t transmit if another aircraft is about to transmit a readback.
- Speak up if you think there is any possibility that a transmission has been addressed to, or answered by, the wrong station.
