The FAA Safety Team and AOPA Air Safety Foundation have scheduled a "Say It Right!" communication seminar for Monday, January 22, 2007, in Mesa, Arizona. The event starts at 7 p.m. at the Mesa Public Safety Training Facility, 3260 N. 40th Street, Mesa, AZ 85215.

Event description:

Ever heard a radio call that made you scratch your head - or worse yet, cringe? Most of us, at one point or another, have struggled to find the right words on the radio.

Attend this free seminar and increase your communication know-how with practical tips on communicating in today's airspace. You'll also get straightforward advice on common pitfalls for VFR and IFR operations, communicating in an emergency, and coping with challenges at both towered and non towered airports.

Plus, don't miss a rare opportunity to take part in a Q&A session with a local air traffic controller: Be sure to bring the questions you've always wanted to ask. You'll also learn the three magic words every pilot should know, some things you should check before squawking 7600 for lost communication and the popular phrase the 2007 AIM says should NOT be used under any circumstances...
