"HOLD SHORT!"--New Pilots and wanna-bees! Be advised: I am neither a flight instructor nor FAA regulation guru. In making this aircraft safety-related video, my main objective was to review the subject and teach MYSELF something new. I succeeded! If YOU learn something too, we both win!

However, before you post comments below, please consider these ten additional points:

1. Yes--if you have a GoPro Camera (or other mini-cam), you can record your 50-100 radio calls on it;

2. Yes--my calls sometimes border on being too lengthy and may stretch the "one-breath" limit. I am a detail-oriented person. If you can make your calls shorter, with similar specificity, do it;

3. No--my calls are not the only "correct" answer. If you can say it better, shorter, and more concise, do so. I'm just providing one simple method that will jump-start proficiency quickly;

4. Remember, at critically-busy times, you may have to"shorthand" calls--or eliminate some altogether. Also, the higher aloft you are at busy times, the worse this problem will be;

5. Some of my example calls involve "straight-ins." While not prohibited, they should be used judiciously in consideration of conditions;

7. All information herein pertains to the USA; in other countries, consult YOUR appropriate rules and regulations;

8. When you get to the "Calls Analysis" portion of the video (last half), be prepared to stop the video and absorb; there's a lot to take in--and it comes at a fast pace;

9. My preference is always to NOT use local landmarks in calls. I prefer distance-based location statements. Local landmarks may be fine for locals--but will YOU know every landmark? It's unlikely!

10. My examples don't begin to cover all possibilities; they're the tip of the iceberg, to get you thinking about a process--of making good radio calls at non-towered airports!
