Me on the radio
Posted by creining | Filed under Flying
I’ve progressed to do much of the radio work during my flying lessons. At times it can be a bit overwhelming trying to talk and fly an airplane. Before takeoff I have to talk with Clearance and then Ground and then Tower. After takeoff I have to talk with Tower and then Departure. There’s an awesome website, LiveATC.net that provides the ability to listen to Air Traffic Control (ATC). Madison’s is available at http://audio.liveatc.net:8012/kmsn.m3u or http://alt.liveatc.net/kmsn. The KMSN feed has Departure/Approach and Tower. The cool thing is that there are archives for the past 30 days so I can go and listen to myself talking on the radio, very much like a bewildered student pilot. I tried to find the first time I ever talked on the radio, which would have been to the Tower in order to be cleared for takeoff but I think that it may have been blocked by another communication. However, I did get to hear myself talking to Departure after being handed off from the tower that day. Here it is!
