Good book
Hey Guys,
I've been flying in the US for a few months after finally getting round to dusting off my old poo brown book. I picked a book entitled "The pilot's radio communication handbook" by Paul Illman - you can get it off a website named after a south american jungle. Its a bit pricey ($35), but with the current exchange rate is well worth it.
I recommend it since it is one of the few books that go into depth about multicom, unicom and flight service stations which I found are the things that are most different over here. Who would of thunk you can transmit on one frequency and get a reply listening to nav1!
I found this book well written, easy to follow and also gives a nice overview of US airspace to boot. The only thing it can't help you with is the "Noo Yawk" controllers who sayeverythingveryfastandwithoutanykindofpause.
Cheers,
Gareth.
