“Cleared for the visual, runway one seven” (look out the window, find runway 17, and fly to it).

“Cleared for the ILS, runway three four” (follow the Instrument Landing System, an electronic guidance system, to runway 34).

“Fly heading two three zero, Runway two seven Left, Cleared for takeoff” (After takeoff, fly a magnetic heading of 230º.

“Cleared to cross runway two seven” (taxi across runway 27).

“Line up and wait” (taxi onto the runway and wait for a takeoff clearance).

Philly’s westbound runways point to about 270º, so they are labeled “27.” When an airport has parallel runways (like Philadelphia), one will be designated “Left,” the other “Right.” Philadelphia’s Runway 27 Left points to approximately 270º on a compass Runways are numbered according to their alignment on a magnetic compass. Runway numbers: You’ll hear controllers and pilots talking about runway numbers like Runway two five or Runway two seven Left. Any airplane taking off, landing, or crossing a runway must have permission from Tower.

“ Hold short of Delta” (don’t go past taxiway “D”).

“ Taxi to runway three four” (The pilot is cleared to taxi to runway 34).

Here are more things you’ll hear Ground say: A clearance to taxi on taxiways ‘J’ then ‘Z’ then ’S’ would sound like: “ Taxi via juliet, zulu, sierra.”

Airport taxiways are named by alphabet letter. Most of their instructions are given using phonetic alphabet letters like: alpha, bravo, charlie, etc. : Ground controllers issue taxi instructions. There are several types of controllers in the tower we’ll talk about the two biggies: they use the call signs and. Large airports can have over a dozen people working in the tower they handle airplanes from engine start to just after take off. We’ll hear a few different controllers on our flight. The first are the controllers in the control tower. America West (based in Arizona) used the call sign “Cactus.” The new US Airways moved its headquarters to Arizona so they kept “Cactus” – and it sounds pretty cool.Ĭast Of Controllers: Louisville Control Tower We need to listen for our US Airways call sign: “ Cactus 1939.” Why “Cactus?” America West Airlines merged with US Airways in 2005. When you listen to aircraft radio chatter, it’s important to know who’s doing the talking. We’ll follow the progress of 1939 on Dec 27, 2013. US Airways flight 1939 is a daily non-stop from Philadelphia to Los Angeles. Pilots and controllers everywhere expect each other to say certain things at certain times. This is important because airplanes fly all over the world. All pilot/controller communication is carefully scripted and uses a standard phraseology. A little later in this post, you’ll hear actual transmissions. If you learn a few basic phrases and listen carefully, you’ll start to understand what is being said. If you understand some of it, you can follow the progress of your flight.

On a long flight you can put on your headphones and hear the crew talking to the controllers. Years later, in flight training, I finally learned the mysterious language of pilots and controllers.Ī few airlines now offer a “Flight Deck” audio channel on their entertainment systems. I could understand most of the words but had no idea what they were talking about.

I spent hours listening to the radio, trying to figure out what the pilots were saying. I was probably the first 14 year-old, ever, to think his dad was a genius. Within a couple of minutes, he turned it into an aviation-band receiver.

When I was a kid, my dad took a small, transistor AM/FM radio, cracked it open and tinkered with the FM tuning coil.
