- Position: From Aerodrome, Final Approach or In the Circuit or VRP
- Altitude, and Altitude descending to if a restriction has been imposed.

A
- When theres any variation of average TAS, between reporting points, of +/- 5%
9
Q
- Position and Altitude reporting IFR enroute
A
- Unless under radar control pilots must report position:
- When crossing compulsory reporting points or nav aids;
- Or intervals not exceeding 30 mins.

- On initial contact with each ATS unit or sector;
- At other times when requested by ATC.
- When crossing compulsory reporting points or nav aids;
- In addition pilots must report reaching and leaving assigned levels.
- Selected levels if outside controlled airspace.
10
Q
- Position Reporting on departure from AA, WN, CH
A
- Aircraft are required to report as soon as practicable after take off
- Identification
- Altitude: Current Alt - “CLIMBING TO” - Cleared Alt
11
Q
- Position reporting at all other aerodromes other then AA, WN & CH
A
- Position reports must be made as soon as practicable after take off and contain the following.
- Identification;
- Estimated set heading time;
- Altitude - “Climing to” - Cleared altitude/FL; and
- ETA at significant waypoint where ATS route is joined.
12
Q
- Position reporting when holding in controlled airspace.
A
- Unless otherwise instructed, you must report:
- When first crossing the Aid/Fix to carry out an entry
- When established in the holding pattern after carrying out a sector 1 or 2 entry
- When crossing the aid/fix on vacating the holding pattern
Trainging Aircraft - When inbound in the holding pattern and requesting an instrument approach or onwards clearance
13
Q
- When must you correct your ETA with ATC
A
- When it becomes apparent that the previous subbmitted ETA is in error by in excess of 2 Minutes
14
Q
- ATC Clearance
A
- An ATC Clearance is required by:
- All aircraft operating on the manoeuvering area
- IRF flights in Class C & D Airspace; and
- VFR flights in class C & D Airspace
- A clearance that requires a readback is not deemed to be in effect until it has been readback correctly.
