IFR Clearance Practice

[rbrong]

Attached you'll find an audio file of IFR clearances from Reno (KRNO) on March 3, 2008.  I've edited out everything but the IFR clearances so anyone working on an IFR certificate can practice copying down the info.  The file is about 4 MB in size with about 15 minutes worth of audio.

Enjoy and happy copying!

Thanks for taking the time to do this, RB.  I'm going to go ahead and sticky this thread as I suspect there are many instrument students out there that would like to easily access this file.

Thanks!

You're welcome, Jason -

It was pretty easy to do.  I used GoldWave as my audio editor for this and just cut the segments I wanted to keep and pasted them in to a new sound file.  To go through a whole day worth of stuff took about an hour.

I'll do it again from time to time, too.

Cheers -

Here's a good one that came from the same Kennedy ground audio file as the final Concorde clearance.

Let's see how many of you copy it right the first time. Be honest!

eh, as long as you know the identifiers its easy...im sure air jamaica flies those routes often, its easy for them.

Totally agree with that!  That's why we should study them ahead of time.  Part of that "being familiar with all resources" business.

Haha, that wasn't a clearance, that sounded like an audible before an NFL play.  I was expecting a "hut hut" at the end of it.

The first part of it is actually a normal route out of JFK.  WAVEY..EMJAY J174 ZIZZI..SBY J209 ORF is a normal alternate route down the east coast.

How do I get the file?  Thanks and God bless.

Hello, Father.  Presumably you are referring to the audio clip containing several IFR clearances?  If so, do you see the file link in the first post at the top here (I have screen-grabbed a portion of that post to which I am referring and annotated it here):



That attachment is the MP3 audio clip file.  If you place your mouse over the clip link and right click,  a menu will appear.  Choose "Save Link As" (if your browser is Firefox), "Save Target As" (if your browser is Internet Explorer), and choose a location on your computer (if you use another browser then someone else will have to comment - I don't know the command in those). 

The file will then download to your computer so you can listen to it several times by double-clicking on it (which launches the media player registered to play MP3 files.

Oh, and you have to be logged into this forum with your user ID to see the audio clips.

Wow, that was a tough one. But isn't the pilots suppose have an idea of their route of flight?

Heres another great one.

There are some complex clearances there. I am glad I dont have to issue clearances like that at work everyday, it would surely make it harder to have CD/FD/GC combined!

[A_J_D_C]

that slow clearance has been around for a bit in the forum, not sure where its sitting now but there were a fair few replys with what people thought, as in was the controller being a smarty pants by holding up the airways for so long, or was he just making sure the pilots got it right the second time. either way i think it was 50/50 with the responses

Full enroute clearence here, try copying this one!
