Why is aviation radiotelephony so hard to master?
Welcome to the Flying Reporter Podcast. I’m Jon Hunt, a private pilot and YouTuber from the UK, and these podcasts bring you interesting people, views and information, focussing on general aviation in the UK.
On this edition of the podcast we talk about radio telephony - that’s the strange language pilots use to communicate with controllers and vice versa. We discuss why it’s so hard to learn and why sometimes it’s just best to speak in plain English..
Also on this episode... do you know your side slip from your forward slip? Head of Training at Anglian Flight Centres joins us for our ‘ask the instructor’ feature.

How to choose the right flying school and instructor
Hello, and welcome to the Flying Reporter Podcast. I hope you’ve been enjoying the series so far.
Today, I’ll be talking to two extraordinary aviators who’ve overcome extreme adversity to get their pilots licenses and unrestricted class 2 medicals. Both were injured in terrible accidents and are now disabled, but they fly just like you and I. We hear about the amazing charity, Aerobility and how it transforms the lives of the people it helps.
And in our ask the instructor feature, we discuss how to go about choosing a flying instructor and flying school.
