Study Notes
Communication in Aviation
- Essential position report components include callsign, position, heading, level, next position, ETA, and intentions.
- A pilot in Instrument Departure must relay callsign, SID designator, current/passing altitude, and cleared altitude.
- Mandatory position report elements that should not be omitted: aircraft callsign, position, and time.
Aeronautical Station Suffixes
- Route clearance at international airports is transmitted by a station with the suffix "CLEARANCE."
- Controlled airfields without radar will have the suffix "TOWER."
Braking Action and Communication Clarity
- A braking action coefficient of 30 indicates "poor" braking efficiency.
- To clarify a message, the phrase "I SAY AGAIN" should be used before repetition.
Radiotelephony Specifics
- An altitude of 1500 feet is expressed as "Wun fife zero zero feet" in aviation communication.
- Readability scale: Readability 4 denotes "Readable."
Instructions and Emergency Calls
- "ORBIT RIGHT" means to make a 360° turn right until further instructed.
- The first transmission for a "MAYDAY" call should be made on the distress frequency: 121.5 MHz.
Phraseology and Frequency Regulations
- "STANDBY" implies to wait for further instructions.
- "SQUAWK 1234" instructs a pilot to set their SSR transponder to the indicated code.
Flight Planning and Reporting
- When filing a flight plan mid-flight, frequency is typically APPROACH.
- The correct way to convey a flight's position report is callsign, position, time, level, next position, and ETA.
General Aviation Practices
- The phrase "BRAKING CO-EFFICIENT 20" indicates medium braking action conditions.
- A waypoint in aviation denotes a geographical reference point for navigation.
Distress and Urgency Definitions
- Distress condition entails imminent danger necessitating immediate assistance.
- Urgency messages are prefaced with "Pan Pan Pan."
Communication and Frequency Management
- Using the term "DECIMAL" is optional when reporting frequency unless confusion is likely.
- Code 7600 on a transponder signifies a loss of communication.
Call Sign Abbreviations and Information Management
- Abbreviation for callsign CHEROKEE XY-ABC is "CHEROKEE XY-BC."
- ATIS broadcasts are typically found on a discrete VHF or VOR frequency.
General Call Procedures
- General calls can be addressed to "ALL STATIONS."
- The phrase "report flight conditions" should be answered with VFR / IFR indication.
Situational Responses and Error Management
- If instructed to "RECYCLE SQUAWK," a pilot should reselect transponder settings.
- In case of a transmission error, use the term "CORRECTION" to clarify.
