M.T. an air traffic controller with more than 30 years of experience, talks to you about life at the other end of your aircraft radio. In this audio series, he’ll answer questions and tell stories about how an air traffic control center helps you safely fly from A to B.
In this first episode:
- Explore the relationship between air traffic controllers and pilots, especially low-time and student pilots.
- You will hear why air traffic controllers really want to talk to you as you fly, even if you are out for a Sunday drive under Visual Flight Rules.
- I think, by the time this first talk ends, you will feel differently about air traffic control, especially if you have felt hesitant to contact ATC in the past.

Post-Show Notes:
Good episode? Know what’s missing? You. In future episodes, M.T. will answer your questions, not mine; but you have to ask to get an answer. Write your questions in the comment box below, or write to me directly at jeff@atccommunication.com, or call and leave a message at the voicemail number in the upper left corner of this website. I’ll pitch your questions to M.T. in a future show.
If we get enough questions and interest, I’ll launch a live webinar in which you can talk to M.T. in real time.
Next show:
