RADIO TELEPHONY (RT)

The purpose of Radio Operations practice is to maintain a constant awareness about the positions and progress of flights under the jurisdiction of the Radio Operator and assist the pilot in the event of aircraft emergencies. This training program is designed to build and sustain competency of a radio operator to achieve the purpose of radio operations in the aviation industry and other relevant industries.

Training programs for Helicopter Landing Officers in Caverton Training Organization are conducted by and NCAA approved RTF Instructors. These Instructors are retired or ex-aviation professionals whose aviation careers were based almost exclusively on the use of standard radiotelephony e.g. ex- pilots and ex- Air Traffic Controllers. This ensures strict quality control of the course content and practical communication exercises.
