Q

Continuing transmission
(with regards to call signs)

A

a) Ground station will always put AC callsign first

“G-CD, Line up, Runway 20’

b)Aircraft will put its call sign at the end of the repeated/acknowledged instruction

Lining up, Runway 20, G-CD

exception:
if minutes elapse between receiving instructions from Ground Station…then aircraft will begin with its call sign (to refresh)

G-CD, lining up, Runway 20

16
Q

Say again..

A

if there is doubt that a message has been received correction, you may be asked to repeat the request…

ex:

AC:
G-CD, right base to land, Runway 20

GS
G-CD, Say again

AC
G-CD, right base to land, Runway 20

17
Q

say again your call sign…

A

if identity of the calling station (ie Aircraft calling sign):

AC:
stanstead tower, Golf Alpha bravo Charlie Delta, Request flight information service

GS:
Station calling statstead tower, **say again your call sign **

Ac:
stanstead tower, Golf Alpha bravo Charlie Delta

(no need to repeat full instructions unless asked)

18
Q

Correcting part of a message

A

Ex:

Stanstead approach, G-ABCD, Estimating Westcott at 43…correction, Westcott at 46

19
Q

Correcting entire transmission

A

Ex:

Stanstead approach, G-ABCD, Estimating Westcott at 43…

correction I say again, Stanstead approach, G-ABCG, Estimating Westcott at 46.

20
Q

Words twice

A

If reception is not clear, repeat every word or group of words twice

21
Q

Standby

A

1) could mean that the statin receiving the transmission is too busy to respond so will request to ‘standby’

Q

Transfer stations
contact

A

When ATCU wants an Aircraft to transfer from one station to another..

ex:

GS:
G-ABCD, contact London Tower 121.1

AC:
Contact london tower, 121.1, G-ABCD

23
Q

When under the control of ATCU

A

AC cannot swap from one ATCU to another without premission of currect ATCU in transmission.

24
Q

When not under ATCU but is still receving RADIO or FIS INFORMATION transmission

Changing to

A

Pilot **must make the ground station aware **of the change to an ATCU frequency

AC:
Norton radio, G-AB, Changing to Walton Tower 129.1

GS:
G-AB, Roger

25
Q

Radio test
(before taxi)

Radio check & Read You

A

AC:

  • Station name/Service
  • AC call sign
  • Radio check
  • Frequency
  • ex: London Tower, G-ABCD,Radio Check, 129.50

GS:

Aircraft call sign
Station transmitting
Info about the readability of the transmission

Ex: G-ABCD, London Tower, Read you 5

Ex: G-ABCD, London Tower, Read you 3, Loud background whistle

26
Q
