Nice new site from Air Safety Foundation

The ASF has produced a new product called AskATC designed to allow pilots to ask an air traffic controller those questions you always wondered about. I just read through the initial questions, and they are all pretty interesting reads. Here's the site (again AOPA members only) and here is AOPA's official word:

"New resource answers your ATC questions

From newly minted aviators to seasoned veterans, most pilots have questions about air traffic control. When speaking to ATC, should you use local or Zulu time? What is “standard separation”? If you bust airspace or an altitude, what really happens? The AOPA Air Safety Foundation put these and many other common questions directly to controllers, who provided no-nonsense, real-world answers for pilots. The result is a valuable new Web r

esource, Ask ATC, developed in cooperation with the National Air Traffic Controllers Association. Question categories include VFR, IFR, and more. Don't see your question listed? An interactive feature allows you to submit queries of your own."

Also, if you're interested in learning more about communicating with ATC, Bob Gardner's book, Say Again, Please: Guide to Radio Communicationsis a great resource.
