There’s something to the sound.
The static breaks. The voices clipped.
Each phrase equipped
With meter, syntax, brevity.
Staccato voices speak, repeat.
A voice says, “Cleared to land.”
The words, a kind of poetry.
From a practical perspective, we teach introductory aeronautics and propulsion short courses to anyone working directly or indirectly in the field of aviation.
