Q

AIP GEN 3.4, para 4.13.2 – Similar/Identical Call signs- Actions Taken

When aware of similar callsigns what will ATS do to minimise errors?

A

The pilot may only use an abbreviated callsign when initiated by ATS. When aware of similar/identical callsigns, ATS will take action to minimise errors by:

  1. emphasizing certain numbers/letters
  2. repeating the entire callsign, e.g. QANTAS451 QANTAS451, or
  3. repeating the prefix, e.g. QANTAS451 QANTAS, or
  4. asking pilots to use a different callsign, either temporarily or for the duration of the flight.

Pilots should use the phrase “VERIFY CLEARANCE FOR (complete callsign)” if doubt exists concerning proper identity.
