About this Manual

After reading this manual, you will notice that the phraseology has become leaner and clearer, and consequently more objective.

This manual was created in accordance with the topics listed in MCA 100-16 1 and MCA 100-21 2, which are the official DECEA documents covering aeronautical phraseology in Portuguese, English and Spanish.

Reading both manuals regularly is extremely important.

Scope
