The radio is often a source of anxiety among pilots, but doesn’t have to be. This informative program from Sporty’s can help you sound like a pro. Ride along on three real-world flights in a Piper Pacer, a glass-panel Cirrus and a Cessna 210 to see the range of communications skills required for flight in every type of VFR airspace. We’ll visit a variety of airports, from rural non-towered fields to busy Class B airspace at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (KCVG). You’ll learn to communicate smoothly and efficiently with tower, approach control, clearance delivery, flight service stations and more. VFR Communications will help improve your confidence flying in and out of busy airspace and will teach you to operate safely in all airspace. Length approx. 40 minutes.

Good example flights.
Cons
No clear explanation of the majority of the radio communications. For example - a "receive only" frequency? "I'm listening on the xyz VOR" - the viewer who is trying to learn about VFR communications in busy airspace needs further education.
General Comments
Good video - gave me a good general start into communicating in VFR airspace.

Another great video from Sportys. Great for downloading to your IPod, it plays beautifully.
Cons
Playing on a full screen format on my computer, it gets really pixilated.
General Comments
If you want to download your videos to your IPod, then this is deffinately the way to go. However if you want to enjoy your videos on your TV, I suggest waiting for the video a few days and ordering the DVD.
