Question 37

When are radio reports always required?

Answer 37

• Deviation from an ATC clearance or instruction for an emergency or in response to a TCAS Resolution Advisory (RA).

• When vacating any previously assigned altitude or flight level for a newly assigned altitude or flight level.
• When unable to climb/descend at a rate of a least 500 feet per minute.
• When an approach has been missed. (Request clearance for specific action; i.e., to alternate airport, another approach, etc.)
• Change in the average true airspeed (at cruising altitude) when it varies by 5 percent or 10 knots (whichever is greater) from that filed in the flight plan.
• The time and altitude or flight level upon reaching a holding fix or point to which cleared. • When leaving any assigned holding fix or point.
• Pilots encountering weather conditions which have not been forecast, or hazardous
conditions which have been forecast, are expected to report such conditions to ATC.
• Any information relating to the safety of flight or whenever encountering a meteorological
condition or an irregularity in a ground or navigational facility, in flight, which is essential to the safety of other flights.
• Any malfunction, in controlled airspace, of navigational, approach, or communication equipment including VOR, ADF, GPS anomalies, complete or partial loss of ILS receiver capability or impairment of air/ground communications capability. Reports should include the call sign and flight number, equipment affected, degree to which the capability to operate under IFR in the ATC system is impaired, and the nature and extent of assistance desired from ATC.
