BGA online R/T course starts 12th November

The next BGA Flight Radio Telephony Operator’s Licence (FRTOL) course begins on Tuesday 12th November 2024, providing full training for the licence required to use most non-gliding VHF radio channels. If you’d like to participate, please register now.

The course combines self-study video lectures, practice scripts, and weekly interactive Zoom sessions.  There will be six Zoom sessions starting at 1930 on Tuesday 12th November, and running until Tuesday 17th December.

We also run small-group coaching (also usually conducted via Zoom). Over 150 BGA course graduates have passed the CAA FRTOL exams in the past 4 years, with the CAA Chief Examiner rating the quality of their R/T as “very high”.

We’re also recruiting experienced radio users to coach small groups of FRTOL students via Zoom; if you hold, and are confident using, any CAA-issued R/T qualification (including a FRTOL) then we’d love to have your help teaching this important skill to glider pilots.  Contact Paul Ruskin at frtol(at)ruskin.me.uk for more information.
