What are the ways the pilots communicate with towered airports?
The most common form of communication in aviation, very high frequency (VHF) radio calls are what we use for around 95% of our communications with ATC. In simplified terms, the transmitting station sends a signal that travels in a straight line and is picked up by the receiving station.
What is Afss in aviation?
Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS): An FAA air traffic facility that provides pilot briefings, en route radio communications, and VFR search-and-rescue services.
What is a FAA letter of warning?

How do planes communicate?
A: Modern airplanes use satellite communication to talk with air-traffic control. There is an older technology, High Frequency Radio, that can be used, but it is not as reliable.
What is Afss FSS?
A flight service station (FSS) is an air traffic facility that provides information and services to aircraft pilots before, during, and after flights, but unlike air traffic control (ATC), is not responsible for giving instructions or clearances or providing separation.
What is the difference between a warning notice and a letter of correction?
(1) A letter of correction serves the same purposes as a warning notice, but is used by FAA investigative personnel when there is agreement with the company, organization, or airman that corrective action acceptable to the FAA has been taken, or will be taken within a reasonable Page 3 10/01/07 2150.3B 5-2 time.

What is the transposed letter effect?
( March 2017) In psychology, the transposed letter effect is a test of how a word is processed when two letters within the word are switched.
What is it called when you transpose words?
What is it called when you transpose words? A spoonerism is an error in speech in which corresponding consonants, vowels, or morphemes are switched (see metathesis) between two words in a phrase. While spoonerisms are commonly heard as slips of the tongue, and getting one’s words in a tangle, they can also be used intentionally as a play on words.
What is the effect of transposed-letter priming?
Many experiments (for example, Perea and Lupker, 2003) have shown if transposed-letter priming is used, (for example, priming judge with jugde) a priming effect will be seen, but if the prime is a word where two letters are changed to other letters (for example, priming judge with jupfe ), there is no priming effect.
Why do we commit spoonerisms and other speech errors?
We can understand some reasons why we commit spoonerisms and other speech errors. One problem is that we do not form our sentences completely in our mind before we start to say them. We start speaking even before we have planned the sentence and know how we will end it.
