Communication

4.10.1.2 ATIS

Back to our flight from Roskilde (EKRK) to Stauning (EKVJ).

The first thing we do is listen to ATIS. Here, we receive information about the

runway in use, wind, temperature, etc. We also got the QNH.

We will immediately set this on the altimeter.

After the initial call, we must acknowledge the received ATIS and QNH.

4.10.1.3 Airport Charts

Before we call TOWER for TAXI, we study the airport chart to know the taxiways

to runway 21, which is the runway in use.

You can see the airport chart for

EKRK here.

We are parked on the Apron.

4.10.1.4 Readability

In some cases, you want to get an assessment of how a station receives the

transmitted signals. Then you perform a radio check. This can be done in an

initial call.

We are now ready to do an initial call with a radio check:

Roskilde TWR OY-CTZ radiocheck on 118,905

OY-CTZ Roskilde TWR, read you 5
