REAL PILOT STORY
Alone in a dark cockpit and unsure of his location or fuel remaining, Dr.
Edenhoffer thought ATC had forgotten about him. What he didn't know
was that through creativity and some rule breaking, controllers at Fort
Worth Center were about to go the extra mile to guide him safely back to
Earth. In Dr. Edenhoffer's case, communication with ATC was a critical
part of his flight and a major factor in why his story has a positive outcome.
His experience illustrates the value of potentially life-saving contact with
ATC-a lesson worth passing on to your students.
Some students take to radio communication right away while others
struggle with it up to and beyond the checkride. Teach and remind them
from the beginning that ATC is there to help, and deal with radio nerves
early in training to avoid creating pilots averse to talking to ATC. If
towered airports are outside the norm for your training flights, make
a point to plan cross-countries to airports where communication with
ATC will be required. Resources like LiveATC and the AOPA Air Safety
Institute's (ASI) Say It Right: Mastering Radio Communication online
course (airsafetyinstitute.org/courses/sayitright) can help pilots of all
experience levels improve their radio communication.
Dr. Edenhoffer's story is a reminder that ATC looks out for all pilots, even
if you are 'only' in a small GA airplane. Hear the story firsthand from the
pilot and controllers involved in ASI's Real Pilot Story: Powerless Over
Paris (airsafetyinstitute.org/RPS/powerless). Feel free to share the
video with your flight school, colleagues, and students.
