"VFR Radio Procedures USA" Copyright 1997. It covers patterns, Airspace class B,C,D,E,G, TRSA, Air traffic control center, Flight Service stations, emergency assistance etc. and gives examples of radio procedures. Some of the info may be outdated but it would be a good start. I'll PDF it today if anyone would like a copy send me an email off list and I'll shoot it out to you. (it will be a pretty big file so I wouldn't want to send it though the list) Later, -------- The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine...And why shouldn't it be?- --It is the same the angels breathe.
