ATC Book For Pilots

Planespotting · March 30th, 2007, 02:26

Greetings,

First post,

My airline asked me to read a book about ATC as one of their requirements, can someone please tell me a name of a good general book that would be good for pilot knowledge or general knowledge?

Thanks in advance ..

Yeah, how bout the Aeronautical Information Manual?

The AIM would work. If you really want to dig deep, you could go with the air traffic "rulebook," FAAO 7110.65. Or if you're looking for something a little more easy to understand, try the Fundamentals of Air Traffic Control by Michael S. Nolan.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies, I might go for the Fundementals book if no one suggested anything better. And for the first post, AIM is common knowledge, I think the airlines want me to have further knowledge of ATC and that's why specifically mentioned that I should read books on ATC, thanks for trying to help though.
