Whether you are an aviation enthusiast or a student pilot trying to learn the aviation lingo, a handheld radio is a great way to listen in to the goings-on above your head.
A high-quality handheld radio can often be seen close by an aviation enthusiast when they have set up camp at the favorite aircraft viewing spot giving them a heads-up to what’s coming in to land.
When I was training I used to listen for hours to my local airport tower trying to learn and practice talking with ATC. It really helped overcome my fear once I got into the air!
These are some of the most popular radios used amongst pilots and enthusiasts alike!
