Sheppard VFR Pattern Traffic Priorities
Emergency Acft Low-closed patterns Minimum fuel aircraft Formations Single Ship Radar Entries Aircraft established in the patterns Re-entry from breakout and abandon approach VFR entries
Do not break under the following conditions:
Straight-in aircraft is between 5 and 2 miles
Aircraft between “Report High Key” and Low Key
Aircraft orbiting at High Key
When directed to carry straight through
When unable to maintain spacing with an aircraft already established on high, closed or low-closed downwind
Do not request closed under the following conditions:
Straight-in aircraft is between 5 and 2 miles
Aircraft between “Report High Key” and Low Key
Aircraft orbiting at High Key
When an aircraft on initial has not begun the break
Request closed safe airspeed:
140 knots minimum
If there is a conflict between a straight-in and someone in the final turn, who has the right of way
The aircraft on the straight in should yield to the final turn traffic by offsetting east
Breakout re-entry headings (also VFR entry headings): RWY 33R:
RWY 15L:
RWY 33R: 205 degrees
RWY 15L: 275 degrees
Radio Call for requesting an ELP and location:
From Initial: “Blade XX, Initial, Request High Key”
You may also request high key from any position in the pattern if there are only 2 aircraft in the pattern.
When must you break out at high key if not given clearance for the remainder of the ELP
Cross Key. Continue the ELP until this location if the controller delays in the “report low key” radio call
High Pattern Pattern Altitude
3,500 feet
Hacker ceiling and visibility minimum
2,600 AGL (3,800 MSL) and 3 miles visibility

Hacker UHF, VHF Frequencies and Sqwk
Channel 16 UHF, Channel 16 VHF, 4000
HAPL Pattern Procedure to Hacker
1) Contact RAPCON and request “Direct to High Key at Hacker”
2) Reaching 8,000 MSL, cancel IFR, squawk 4000, contact Hacker with a position report and your request for high key
3) If RSU states “unable high key, report VFR entry” do so. If RSU clears high key, he/she states “report 1 minute to high key”
4) “Blade XX, one minute to high key
How does the breakout re-entry radio call change if re-entering from abandoned approach.
“Blade XX, re-entry from abandon approach”
Landing/Taxi light procedures at night:
Turn taxi/landing lights on once clear of crew chief. Turn landing/taxi lights off at EOR when holding short of runway to prevent distracting other pilots landing. Turn landing/taxi lights back on once cleared onto runway.
True/False: When calling number 1 for T/O or for full stop landings at night, add the last 3 digits of the tail number for the aircraft
TRUE
When tower is controlling Cooter’s VFR pattern, what is the radio call when requesting return to Sheppard from an area:
“Sheppard approach, Blade XX, Area XX Low/high, request Deans/Bridge FOR STRAIGHT-IN/INITIAL with Atis”
What is closed downwind called for an ELP
“Blade XX, High downwind”
Breakout Call and locations:
“Blade XX, Perch Point/90 to initial/45 to initial/VFR Entry, Breaking out”
Emergency, NORDO, Hijacking, Squawk
7700 (emergency), 7600 (NORDO), 7500 (Hijacking)
