Study Notes
- ATC typically provides taxi instructions during rollout, requiring a readback.
- If taxi instructions aren't given, pilots must request them.
- ATC's reply to a taxi request requires a readback, even if it matches the request.
Cautionary Calls
- ATC may issue cautionary calls to warn pilots of significant events or potential issues.
- Examples include windshear reports or wake turbulence warnings.
- Pilots should acknowledge cautionary calls with their callsign, without a readback.
Surface Movement Control Service
- Ground frequency is sometimes used to distribute controller workload.
- Ground controllers manage taxiing aircraft, while tower controls runway activity.
- The callsign for ground control is "ground," e.g., "Palmerston ground”.
- The ATIS indicates if a ground frequency is unavailable due to low traffic.
- Ground control instructs when to switch to tower frequency, usually at the holding point, and vice versa.
ATC Off Watch
- When ATC goes off watch, the aerodrome becomes unattended, triggering specific procedures.
- This is indicated by the ATIS, specifying when ATC will return.
- The airspace around the aerodrome becomes uncontrolled.
- An unattended frequency is listed on the aerodrome chart in the AIPNZ Volume 4.
