• Aircraft radio contact requirements                                               10 min
• GHSA radio procedures (RUSTALL)                                            10 min

EQUIPMENT:

A/C radio instruction manual, FARs, Sectional chart, GHSA Standard Operating Procedures manual

INSTRUCTOR’S ACTIONS:

• Discuss lesson topic and objectives
• Familiarize student with GHSA radios
• Discuss how the proper radio frequencies are found and used
• Discuss radio services (Flight Watch, etc)
• Use of emergency frequency (121.5)
• Discuss and demonstrate proper aircraft radio phraseology per AIM 4-2
• Discuss GHSA procedures
• Resolve questions

STUDENT’S ACTIONS:

• Resolve questions as necesssary
• Demonstrate proper use of radio and understanding of proper radio procedures
  

COMPLETION STANDARDS:

Lesson is complete when the student can demonstrate he/she fully understands the proper use of the aircraft radio in general terms and, specifically, as they relate to GHSA operations.
