  A new and interesting series that needs to be looked at. Another great vid Jon.

  Think you hit a niche series here. Looking forward to the next parts.

  Great vid. <br><br>To be super pedantic the call would be “request join information” at an air/ground versus “request join instructions” at an atc. Though I also always just say “request join” too, and it’s always worked for me! :) <br><br>Also interesting question you asked the operator on the relevance of their role. Similar question could be asked of anyone providing a basic service - maybe one for a future series - differences between basic/traffic/procedural service etc

  Great videos. I remember learning. Anyone currently taking their PPL this video and associated series is second to none. Listen and learn folks.

  Wow! Thank you very much for this kind of videos... I&apos;m taking my PPL licence in London (Stapleford) and I&apos;m struggling with communications as I&apos;m not native English speaker and this kind of videos help me a lot! Thanks!!

  Very interesting, and well-presented video, thanks Jon. I’m not a pilot but we take part in events at the Anglian Flight Centre at Earl’s Colne as radio amateurs in support of the helimed. Very professional team there, and great to see them in action... you’ve explained perfectly what they do (in a way that I as a non-pilot now I’m understand). Great video.

  Thanks for these great mini-documentaries... they’re exceptionally watchable and educational. I’m a student in the US, so much of this doesn’t apply, but it’s all very interesting none-the-less.

  Wish I had videos like this when I was learning to fly back in the 80s

  A fantastic video and insight into air / ground radio operations and procedures. I am flying to Conington for my XCQ this week and this video has definitely helped me understand the RT needed. Thanks Jon.
