if told to call 5 miles, descend and decelerate, if clearance is not received by 3 miles, abandon approach
straight in from outside downwind
wait until aircraft in front of you has turned 90 to intial, call straight in in sight if someone is in front of you, maintain 200kts in descent to 1500
abandon approach
clerance not received by 3 miles or if directed to abandon approach, level turn to the east, when clear of outside downwind follow reentry track. climb to 2000 msl to make level turn in direction of the traffic

yes - must have clearance by cross key
requesting low key
low key from initial - climb during the break, low key from closed pullup - same restrictions as normal closed
when speaking with shep clearance - must you read back entire clearance
yep, cause we are students

only if you want to be made fun of
do you give position in hammerhead on intial contact with cooter
yes
radio call addition to cooter if solo
one pin remove and stowed
