Calls at initials from Point B/C
“Call sign, 7- mile initial”
“Call sign, 3 mile initial, (no-flap, single-engine go, Falls-2, MIKKE, PIECE, SPEED, fuel”
Entering the high pattern radio call:
“Call sign, turning crosswind for the high pattern”
Call at initial from outside downwind
“Call sign, initial, (no-flap, single-engine go, Falls-2, MIKKE, PIECE, SPEED, fuel”
Perch point radio call at the correct position
“Call sign, base, gear down, (no flap, single-engine go, restricted low approach, full stop, straight-in in sight)”
Extended perch point radio call
“Call sign, extended base, gear down, (no flap, single-engine go, restricted low approach, full stop, straight-in in sight)”
When do you add fuel to your radio call?
Second to last radio transmission
Unable to break:
“Break point straight through”
