The « In English, please » article in Infopilote’s January issue consisted of a treasure hunt across the first half of an EGAST document entitled:
« A guide to phraseology for general aviation pilots in Europe ».
Let’s pick up where we stopped at the end of the article and resume browsing through the document from page 26:
– how do you ask a controller for help in avoiding traffic you don’t have in sight?
– why is it important to ensure that a flight plan is closed?
– a diagram showing a visual circuit is on the back inside cover of the document. How is the « long final » defined?
– when is a runway vacated?
– listen to the pilot/controller exchange on page 42 and single out the expressions showing that D-ABCD is landing on an uncontrolled aerodrome.
