Those in the aviation industry know how technical every aspect of flying can be. Whether it\u2019s the radio calls used by pilots and Air Traffic Control (ATC) or the technical jargon of repairing an aircraft\u2019s avionics, there is no shortage of ultra-specific language used to complete these tasks.<\/p>\n

Chad Laviolette, an aviation student at Envoy Partner School Louisiana Tech University, shares his coverage of the importance of Technical Communication in the aviation industry. With every aviator\u2019s focus on safety, it is good to have people like Chad continuing to highlight the fine details ensuring that commitment.<\/p>\n

In this installment, Chad explains how the intricacies of travelling by air can be compared to a highway on the ground.<\/p>\n

Why is Technical Communication like a Highway in the Sky?<\/h3>\n

A pilot uses technical communication to form a three dimensional mental image of the surrounding air traffic and maintain their correct course. Technical communication with ATC\u00a0is basically the \u201croad\u201d in the sky that a pilot travels on.<\/p>\n

Standardized traffic routes are created for pilots to use in the form of Standard Instrument Departures (SID) and Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STAR). ATC\u00a0will clear pilots for these routes through radio communication. Since radio communication with ATC\u00a0is essentially a \u201cparty line\u201d, efficient radio communication is essential.<\/p>\n

SIDs and STARs expedite this process and quickly allow pilots to know which road they are cleared to be on.<\/p>\n
