Good articles!Having an ATP is a CFI prevented me from doing much uneeded radio talk. As in the article, he hates a lot of what he hears so he wasn't about to have me doing it!
I also invested in COMM1 simulator for the PC, I felt it did help give me a chance to practice at home and reduce the number of "fumblemouth" episodes.
Have you by chance seen the new AOPA ASF "Ups and Downs" of landings seminar/video? I've seen the clip they provide, would like to see the whole tape but its not scheduled by me yet.
