Air Traffic Control

bonpon2003 asked:


I want to buy a receiver so that I can listen to air traffic control. Now, each one is like $100. I am wondering why is it so expensive? I know the frequency I want to listen to, so I don’t need the scan. I am you can buy FM radio for a $1, but why can I find VHF receiver for like $10????

Advice needed to help remember and read back ATC instructions. Sometimes I clearly hear ATC instructions, then my mind goes blank or the read back is back to front, words added and/or missed out in the reply. Does anyone know a method that I can use or learn to use to improve ATC communications and remembering the numbers quoted my ATC?

The answer that helps me the most will definitely get my best answer vote!

Ive been looking into the Air Traffic controler area as a career. I have been looking at the University of Alaska Anchorage for my schooling.

My questions are…

Is UAA a good school for this program??

Does going through the program and getting an associates give you more of an edge? Or where does it help?

Is the degree worth it or should I just take the test (after studying of course) and go down that route?
