About this Document

This document ist part of the VACC Austria Study Guide, intended to assist VACC controllers in learning their "hob" (actually: their hobby). This page is an addition to the Study Guide:OBS and covers the rules and procedures on how to speak on the radio. We assume that you have read and understood the Study Guide:OBS before. The information is based on the [CAP413 Radio Telephony Manual] of the British CAA, which is a very thorough (260pages!) document. This page is more like a tutorial: step-by-step, and only covers the basics.

Basic principles

Talking on the air is (sometimes) stressy. Voice quality may be bad or broken, but yet: it is the only link between ATC and aircraft, and therefore: highly security sensitive. You want to make sure that...

  • Communication is short
  • Communication is unambiguous ("what did he mean?")
  • Communication is fail-proof

To achieve this, there are some rules which you should follow.
