Communication

4.1 Introduction (video BEG 1)

It is important to use the right words (phrases) and terms when communicating
so that you know where you stand with each other. One of the biggest plane

crashes happened precisely because of unclear language (the Tenerife disaster).

Every time an accident occurs, the circumstances are analyzed thoroughly, and

this has led to many changes in the way instructions and permissions are given

to an aircraft.

The subject Communication is one of 9 subjects that must be passed in order to

obtain a Private Pilot License.

When the subject is passed, it also counts as passed theory for the Radio

Certificates N-BEG and BEG, which are studied separately either subsequently or

concurrently with you studying the other 9 PPL subjects.

4.2 The Radio Certificate

The radio certificate is a separate certificate that you MUST have if you want to

obtain a private pilot certificate.

And even though it has nothing to do with the PPL, LAPL or UL certificate, you

will still get a few pages about it here, so you are prepared if there are questions

about it on the KOM exam.

4.2.1 Radio certificates – types

There are different types of radio certificates. The 3 types that are related to

private flying are:

- N-BEG

N-BEG is a nationally restricted certificate. You are not allowed to fly only
with this certificate abroad.
