Learning to effectively communicate with a control tower often presents a challenge to student pilots, since it requires additional multitasking during an already busy time of flight. One of the best ways to learn is to listen to other pilots on the radio, and this week’s tip follows a Cessna 172 pilot as he works with both ground control and the tower to taxi and takeoff from a Class D airport.
