Radio Talk

Practice real-world radio calls one conversation at a time, with an FAA source for every answer.

Practice simulator only — not live ATC. Airports, aircraft and frequencies are fictional examples. This does not replace flight instruction or grant any privileges; towered-airport operations require the §61.325 training and endorsement.

Lesson 10: Practice Full Flight: Day VFR Scenario

Fly a complete day VFR trip from Pine Lake (fictional, non-towered) to Cedar Hollow Regional (fictional, towered Class D). Remember: a sport pilot needs the §61.325 endorsement to operate at Cedar Hollow.

Situation

You're parked at Pine Lake, ready to depart.

When should you make CTAF broadcasts as an outbound pilot?
