EASA PPL subject 090 — ICAO phraseology & ATC procedures
Communications (090) overlaps significantly with the R/T Training (RT-VFR certificate). You learn standard ICAO phraseology, emergency procedures (MAYDAY, PAN-PAN), air traffic control communication and the radiotelephony alphabet. Anyone who also gets the RT-VFR certificate will master this subject almost automatically.
