An example is air traffic control radio communications. Standardised wording is used and the person receiving the message may repeat critical parts of the message back to the sender. This is especially true of safety-critical messages. [51] Consider this example of an exchange between a controller and an aircraft:
A primary goal of concise aeronautical phraseology is to enhance communication between pilot and control tower. [3] Brevity is a further goal, since shorter communications segments mean the airwaves are available for other aircraft to contact the ATC. [4] [5] The use of slang, jargon and chatting are strongly discouraged. [6] [7] [8]
Aviation communication is the means by which aircraft crews connect with other aircraft and people on the ground to relay information. Aviation communication is a crucial component pertaining to the successful functionality of aircraft movement both on the ground and in the air. Increased communication reduces the risk of an accident. [1]
More formally known as "Aeronautical Mobile communications", radio communications from and to aircraft are governed by rules created by the International Civil Aviation Organization. ICAO defines a very similar but shorter list of prowords in Annex 10 of its Radiotelephony Procedures (to the Convention on International Civil Aviation).
The earliest communication with aircraft was by visual signalling, ground-to-air only. Air-to-ground communication was first made possible by the development of two-way aerial telegraphy in 1912, soon followed by two-way radio. By the Second World War, radio had become the chief medium of air-to-ground and air-to-air communication. Since then ...
A pilot asked air traffic control to tell his parents he loved them in a heartbreaking final radio conversation moments before he crashed and died. ... Officials say that after take-off the pilot ...
Communications connect the flight deck to the ground and the flight deck to the passengers. On‑board communications are provided by public-address systems and aircraft intercoms. The VHF aviation communication system works on the airband of 118.000 MHz to 136.975 MHz. Each channel is spaced from the adjacent ones by 8.33 kHz in Europe, 25 kHz ...
Example of an ACARS message. In aviation, ACARS (/ ˈ eɪ k ɑːr z /; an acronym for Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System) is a digital datalink system for transmission of short messages between aircraft and ground stations via airband radio or satellite. The protocol was designed by ARINC and deployed in 1978, [1] using the ...
