German RT
Hello, Goetentag,
I'm planning to do a trip to Germany. Did that a couple of times before but I restricted my airfields to the ones that has English as RT too. Now I like to go to some small fields. I've the official German RT stuff from the internet and can memorize the phrases but I'm not sure if that is enough. Do they stick to the official phrases or is it more common to add some extra talk that is not so official. The few times I listend to German radio I was able to understand what they were saying. My German is slightly less hopeless than my French and it worked there. Any info would be helpfull. -Kees |

IMHO you have to have a German Radio Operator's Permit in order to talk
German on the radio. English is OK with your U.S. certificate, of course. Patrick |

Well, I'm Dutch so is my license.
But my RT is English only. And my plane has a German registration. To make it even more international, it is build in France. Thanks for the warning. A bit of a pity, I like small fields with short runways, you have lots of these. -Kees |

Having fun in Germany is no problem, certainly with that excellent beer
you guys have. That is after the flying off course :-) -Kees |

Hoisting a few lagers would most certainly send a pilot off course.

Hi,
I fly and operate parachute aircraft out of Bad Lippspringe near Paderborn. English is used throughout and invariably all the controllers are excellent. You will not have a problem. Enjoy!

Grus di.... (ok, that isn't even German ;-) )
VFR-only operators aren't even required to know English phraseology,.... I can't say definitely but I thought all communication at night is to be English only. From my very limited experience in Germany and from what I understand, the English used is 'by the book.' Everything is formal pre-determined phrases and nothing more so 'blabbering' over the radio won't happen. Gerald |
