For the Flying Instructors of Pprune
Hi Guys,
I was wondering if any could be me in contact with a Flying Instructor, preferably a 'Chief Flying Instructor' as NATS called it, but I'm sure this doesn't matter to much.
This is my situation - I went for my Class 1 Medical (everything went fine), but I was pulled up because I declared I had a mild/infrequent stammer. I myself was sure this couldn't be a point for a Class 1 to be rejected under but that's not the point of this thread. NATS said they would organise for a CFI to come in and test me - this is the point of this thread.
a) Has anyone every done this before? What should I expect?
b) What would you say are the key phrases used by commercial pilots of a day-to-day basis? For example, how do pilots refer and call into ATC before taking of - if they have to do so?
c) How much communication is actually involved between a pilot and radio? I imagine this will be quiet a lot and it is not an issue but it would be interest to know if, say, it was instead predominantly ATC contacting the Pilot.
Thanks
