Communications Trainer - Say Again Please

Communications Trainer: Say Again Please is for students who want to practice before their flights, those with rusty communication skills, those who rarely fly into busy airspace, those who want to practice copying and comprehending clearances, and those who want to sound like a pro—both VFR and IFR. It is especially helpful for English-As-A-Second-Language (ESL) students:

Following in the footsteps of GPS Trainer, ASA announces an addition to the interactive computer-based tutorial product line: Communications Trainer: Say Again Please. Pilots use their computer with the interactive tutorial, and use their home, car, or computer stereo to listen to the audio review. Computer learning tools in the form of audio clips, animations, original figures and diagrams work together with the same text from Bob Gardner's book, Say Again Please, to teach radio communications in VFR and IFR operations and all airspace classes.

• Applicable to VFR and IFR operations, towered and nontowered airports, enroute flight, and emergency situations.
• Intuitive software is as easy to follow as reading a book.
• Typical transmissions are supported with textual descriptions, sectional and airport diagrams, and audio clips so pilots not only learn to speak aviation, but also gain a fundamental understanding of what needs to be spoken when, where, and to whom.
• Pilots go from a preflight briefing and filing a flight plan to ground, enroute, and terminal operations, including in-flight weather requests and pilot reports.
• Interactive exercises integrate with the tutorial for practice of each scenario.
• Pilots will understand how ATC works and learn what to say, what to expect to hear, and how to interpret clearances and instructions.
• Extensive reference library includes FAA documents, websites to live ATC, and glossary
• Tutorial runs on both PC and Macintosh systems.
• Listen in your car, home, or computer CD player as the narrator takes you through a comprehensive Audio Review consisting of standard dialogs with a full cast of characters: pilots, ATIS, Ground, Clearance Delivery, Tower, Approach, Departure, Center, AFSS, and UNICOM controllers in all airspace classes, VFR and IFR operations, and emergency situations.
