Do pilots talk to each other during flight?

Re: Can aircraft pilots communicate with each other? Yes, very normal and routine for planes to talk to each other or for planes to talk to their base. They would not be able to use cell phones, which are basically designed for terrestrial operation only.

What frequency do pilots use to talk to each other?

122.75 MHz
If you wish to talk to the pilot of another airplane, use the air-to-air frequency of 122.75 MHz. It is not considered good etiquette to fill other frequencies with pilot-to-pilot chats. VOR frequencies are between 108.0 and 117.975 MHz, immediately below aviation communication frequencies beginning at 118.0.

Can 2 planes fly next to each other?

In controlled airspace, the required minimum horizontal separation between aircraft flying at the same altitude is five nautical miles, which is just over 9 kilometres. When an airplane is departing, Air Traffic Controllers can place aircraft much closer to each other than they do at cruise altitude.

Do pilots know every button in the cockpit?

Answer: Yes, pilots know what every button and switch does. Following the ground school, simulator sessions train pilots in the procedures necessary to fly the airplane. During that training, almost every switch and button is activated to show its function.

How do pilots communicate with other pilots?

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 language must pilots speak?

English
Answer: The international language of aviation is English. In most places, the pilots and air traffic controllers have demonstrated the ability to speak and understand English up to a level specified by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Some of the accents can be very challenging.

Do pilots actually talk to each other?

Especially crucial in general aviation is to tell other Pikots where you are and what youre doing. There arese frequencies mostly around 122.8 where Pilots hear eachother when no tower is operating near you. So i would say most Pilots talk to eachother and most radio calls are made with only Pilots listening.

How many hours a month do airline pilots fly?

Airline pilots spend an average of 75 hours each month flying and 150 hours on non-flight duties. Commercial pilots fly between 30 and 90 hours per month. Both have irregular schedules that involve working several days in a row and then having several days off.

Why choose PrivateFly for your flight team?

At PrivateFly, our flight team includes pilots as well as all kinds of aviation experts. Excellent customer communication skills are essential in aviation, especially for pilots using voice procedures by radio. But it also has its own jargon which can sometimes sound like a foreign language.

Can a recreational pilot fly without ATC communication?

Recreational pilots cannot fly in airspace requiring ATC communication, but it’s a good idea to learn to use the right words. This knowledge can help them in an emergency, and it helps prepare a recreational pilot for a private pilot certificate, if he decides to continue his training.
