When we are approaching Ikast it is time to call up Karup TWR.
3.1.1.1 Establishing radio contact
When establishing contact with a station over the radio, you must:
- Tune in to the frequency
- Have thought out what you want to say
- Press the transmission button when not interrupting ongoing communication
- Speak at normal speaking speed approx. 100 words per minute, and avoid
filler words
- Release the transmission button when finished
Contact is established by mentioning the name of the station and your own full
call sign
Pilot: Karup TWR OY-TLA
Tower: O-LA Karup TWR
Pilot: O-LA a Cessna 172 4 POB (Persons On Board) VFR Herning to Stauning
via Skive is at Ikast 1300 feet requesting to cross CTR directly to Skive
information BRAVO received
Tower: O-LA BRAVO correct with QNH 1010 - cross CTR VFR at 1500 feet or
below - cross directly over the runway Squawk 6334
For safety's sake, important parts of the message must be repeated, so that TWR
is sure that we have received the message.
We call such a repetition "read back". Readback must be ended with the aircraft's
call sign.
So we say:
Pilot: “Crossing directly over runway 1500 feet or below QNH 1010 squawk
3446 O-LA”
Now you are probably wondering about that "SQUAWK 3446"
