Question:
I want to know how they communicate.. what does the pilot have to do to get through to the tower? and when a plane flys over or near an airport will the pilots communicate with their ATC? and if yes what do they say? And how do they link up?
Answers:
This is an example:
how can i make model flying aeroplane?
well first of all you need to fill a flight plan then we read it on the FDD computer (Fly Data Displayer) the they(aircraft) call for clearance if its an Instumental flight plan then they call ground control here is 121.9 MHZ everything starts like this:
What is the difference beetween economy and priority?
La Aurora Ground N7144Q....
can anyone give me the link from where i can get a comprehensive live flight updates from airports?
N7144Q La Aurora Ground Go Ahead....
La Aurora Ground this is N7144Q requesting pushback and start engines......
Can I find a cheap flight from San Jose to Florida during Christmas time ?
then i say N7144Q roger pushback and start engines apoved advice ready to taxi
If i chose to apply for a helicopter licence,?
N7144Q: I'll call you when ready to taxy...., then when he is ready he says: N7144Q im ready to taxy...then i say N7144Q Taxy west (it depends the aircraft position it could be east) taxyway to holding point runway 01 and when he is reachig the holdingpoint of the runway for takeoff he must contact Tower frequency on 118.1 Mhz to recive clearance for takeoff and then he must contact Radar control on 119.3 Mhz
after the takeoff
When pilots are near from the airport radar control give instructions to them about what they have to do area...then they have to comunicate the control tower for clearance to land....N7144Q clear to land...
why is robert going to mexico?
Pilots communicate to tower and approach controllers via VHF (very high frequency) two way radios. Any question on communication could probably be best answered by the FAR AIM (Federal Aviation Regulation Aeronautical Information Manual) which details procedures used for communicating with Air Traffic Control. You can view the manual at: http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/a...whats the difference between different piston shapes (dished, raised, flat)?
radiosThere's many reasons why and purposes to calling an airport control tower. In the civilian world, most aircraft to tower communication is done on a VHF Transceiver ("a radio".) The military uses mostly UHF frequencies. In the event of radio failure, there are pre-established light signals that a pilot and tower can use to communicate.
Look at the following links...I think you'll find out more than you want to know!

All flights on Instrument Flight Plans are in contact with Air Traffic Controllers during the whole flight - from engine startup to shutdown. During a typical flight the pilot will first talk to ground control, then tower, then approach/departure control, then center, then approach control (at the landing airport), then tower, then ground control.
Truly, just how effective and true to calculate the cost factor on the FMC?
Even small planes usually have two sets of radios. If radio do fail pilots fly their filed plan and the tower uses a light gun to give them permission to land.
What is an appropriate rate of descent in various aircraft?
Pilots talk to the tower by pressing a button on their radios and speaking into a microphone, on an IFR (instrument flight rules) flight, they typically speak with clearance controllers for permission to back out of the gate and start engines, then ground, who directs them to taxi to the active runway(s), then tower who gives them permission to takeoff, then departure and/or approach who directs the traffic flow within a certain radius of the airport, then en-route centres who direct them further, then back to approach to line up with the runway, then back to the tower at the destination airport who gives them instructions to further line up with the runway and give clearance to land, and finally end with ground crews that give them clearance to taxi to the gate and end the flight.hope it helps...
by radio on the ATC channel.
I saw a commercial airline pilot's cap for sale online - is this legal?

This is a fairly well written article that will take you from start-up to shutdown. I could write a long-drawn out answer, but I'd be repeating what this article has already said, for such a generalized question.
Why does it coast more to hire and fly?
Just to clear up something mentioned above, Military aircraft use VHF when talking to traffic controllers. UHF is used to communicate with other military aircraft and military personnel on the ground. They also use VHF FM to communicate with ground personnel, while ATC uses VHF AM.More Questions & Answers ...
