Publisher's Synopsis
Air band radio listening enables you to eavesdrop on the conversations between aircraft and those on the ground who control them, and it is an increasingly popular and fascinating hobby. It not only assists in the recognition of aircraft flying overhead, but also provides an insight into the complex world of air traffic control. In this updated edition, David Smith, an air traffic controller by profession, describes the types of air band radio available and how to use them and includes a chapter on Military Air Band. It explains the intricacies of air traffic control and its jargon so that readers can translate the terminology into what is going on above their heads.
