Air Band Radio Handbook by David J Smith

Air band radio is the means of communication between aircraft and those on the ground that control them. For more than fifteen years, Air Band Radio Handbook has been acknowledged as the essential reference for both ground-based air band listeners and flyers. David J. Smith's accessible and comprehensive text explains the intricacies of air traffic control and its jargon, enabling the reader to locate and interpret what is actually going on in the airways overhead. He also describes the types of air band radio available and how to use them. Now available again in this fully updated eighth edition, Air Band Radio Handbook includes the very latest on ATC including the newly opened Swanwick Control Centre, the use of datalink by Oceanic Control Centres and the reduction in use of HF, changes to Departure Flow methods, and a completely new chapter on air band radios and related publications for the enthusiast - both in print and on the internet.

David J. Smith is an air traffic controller at Liverpool Airport.
