need. Popular instrument training expert Russ Lawton has written
a series of briefings on the ATC clearance system and techniques
for copying and reading back IFR clearances:
Every exercise offers helpful audio feedback and examples of expert copy techniques.

Practice, Practice, Practice
The program offers a
series of 100 practice clearances. You get a Flight plan for
each exercise, complete with a planned routing. You review the
route on the included NOS Low Altitude Enroute Chart and then
call up the Clearance Delivery controller (or Flight Service
specialist, or Ground Control, etc.) to request the clearance.
Then you copy the clearance (using the techniques learned in the
briefings) and read it back to the controller, just like in the
cockpit. If you miss the clearance, the controller can be asked
to "say again".
At the conclusion of the exercise, you get a chance to
review your performance and hear how an expert would have read
the clearance back, as well as see the expert's notes.
Trace each route of Flight using the special NOS Low Altitude Enroute Charts included with COMM1: Clearances on Request.
