FRTOL & The RT Exam - Master Radio Telephony and Pass First Time | The Student Pilot Podcast EP #26

Find out why as RT examiner, flight instructor and experienced commercial pilot Neil McKenzie talks to me about the standard of radio telephony required to pass the RT Exam, how to prepare and what to expect. This will also be very useful to licensed pilots wanting to keep up with current standards which changed in 2023. If you would like to support the channel, you can via Buy Me A Coffee.
