October 2016 - Ever wonder what pilots and
air traffic controllers talk about? They're speaking English, but to
the untrained ear it sounds like another language. This standardized
'language' allows ATC to effectively communicate with pilots; for
controllers at Holloman efficiency is a must when dealing with
aircraft that range from fighter jets to RPAs. Senior Airman Trevor
Sachs, 49th Operations Support Squadron air traffic controller,
gives us an in-depth lesson in air traffic control phraseology.
