Anyone who wants mine can have it (email FNG@whatever the pprune address is) but, frankly, I don't rate it very highly. The whole thing sounds like it was recorded in one take with little editing. There's a bit of umming and ahhhing, some deviation from standard pronunciation (OK I know that we all do that but this is supposed to be a training aid) and PECuliar emPHAsis of the wrong SyLLABles. The whole thing descends (or perhaps ascends?)into comedy when the bloke impersonates an Aeroflot jockey whose "Roooshian" accent travels around the world more rapidly than his clapped out Tupolev ever could.

I listened to it in the car early in my PPL course but do not believe that I obtained any significant training value from it. Still, for what it's worth, you can have my copy if you promise to bung a couple of quid into the collecting tin for the RAF Benevolent, Air Ambulance fund or whatever charity your flying club bar supports.
