About the Author
Bob Gardner began his flying career as a hobby in
Alaska in 1960 while in the U.S. Coast Guard.
Bob’s shore-duty assignments in the USCG were
all electronic/communications based. He served
in the Communications Division at Coast Guard
Headquarters and was Chief of Communications
for the Thirteenth Coast Guard District. He held a
Commercial Radiotelephone Operator’s license and
an Advanced Class Amateur Radio Operator’s License.
By 1966, Bob accomplished his Private land and
sea, Commercial, Instrument, Instructor, CFII and
MEL. Over the next 16 years he was an instructor,
charter pilot, designated examiner, freight dog, and Director of ASA Ground Schools.
Bob held an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate with single- and multi-engine land rat-
ings; a CFI certificate with instrument and multi-engine ratings; and a Ground Instructor’s
Certificate with advanced and instrument ratings. In addition, Bob was a Gold Seal Flight
Instructor and was awarded Flight Instructor of the Year in Washington State. To top off
this impressive list of accomplishments, Bob was also a well-known author, a journalist, an
airshow lecturer, and a long-admired member of the aviation community.

Say Again, Please—A Pilot’s Guide to Radio Communications

Introduction
We live in a technological age. It is possible to fly without radios or electronic aids to naviga-
tion and rely solely on the Mark I eyeball, but there is no question that safety is enhanced
when pilots can locate one another beyond visual range. The avionics industry continues to
provide pilots with improved products that make communication easier and more reliable,
but technology alone is not enough—the user must feel comfortable with the equipment
and the system.
