Radio License Handbook for VFR Pilots

Build your understanding of aviation radio communication

Studying towards your VFR pilot licence? The Radio License Handbook for VFR Pilots helps you understand the radio telephony (RT) theory and procedures that support your private pilot training.

Radio communication is more than knowing what to say on frequency. It also means understanding the airspace you operate in and the procedures behind each transmission. Use this guide alongside your training to connect the theory with its practical application.

What this handbook helps you understand

• Radio telephony procedures: explore the communication procedures relevant to VFR pilot training.
• Airspace classes: develop your understanding of how airspace forms part of aeronautical radio communication.
• Theory and practice: connect RT concepts with the practical communication components of private pilot training.
• Pre- and post-flight context: understand the role of RT within your operational checks.

Who is it for?

Student pilots working towards a VFR or private pilot licence who want a supporting reference for their radio telephony studies.

Make radio communication part of your study routine. Add the handbook to your training resources and build your understanding one topic at a time.
