Dear Iwase,

Thank you for your response. I was mainly asking for learning purposes - to get more exposure to radio traffic, especially involving controlled airspace. As a student pilot, I'm trying to build confidence and become more comfortable communicating with controllers.

Yours sincerely,
Rory
