What does the communications box for the Greenville VORTAC tell us about communicating with Flight Service?
The Greenville VORTAC communications box indicates that you are able to communicate with the Gainesville Flight Service Station by transmitting on 122.1 (122.1R) on your comm radio and listening over the VORTAC frequency 109.0 on your navigation radio. In your initial transmission to Gainesville Flight Service, “Gainesville Radio,” you’ll want to indicate that you are listening over the Greenville VORTAC, 109.0.
It was his first airplane trip at age seven that made Eric decide to become a pilot. "While boarding the airplane, a flight attendant noticed my interest in the flight deck and urged me to go talk to the pilot. I give a lot of credit to that pilot for my career choice." He earned a bachelor’s degree in finance and went on to an airline career. Eric now serves as Chief Instructor at Sporty's Academy and directs the University of Cincinnati’s Professional Pilot Training Program. In addition, Eric serves as a Captain in a Cincinnati-based corporate flight department.
