Filippo Genoni Posted June 27, 2022 at 04:40 PM Posted June 27, 2022 at 04:40 PM (edited) Hey! @Jackson Ferg You could just say: “[Airport name] Tower, good day, [callsign] currently on the [type of approach like ILS], runway [runway number]” Then tower will eventually clear you to land or will tell you to continue approach if there is any situation that doesn’t allow him to clear you to land. Hope this helps, Filippo, Edited June 27, 2022 at 04:42 PM by Filippo Genoni 1 FILIPPO GENONI S2 - Morocco vACC (VATMENA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobias Dammers Posted June 27, 2022 at 07:59 PM Posted June 27, 2022 at 07:59 PM You can make it even shorter, and cutting the fluff is actually good form, so you could just say, "Frankfurt Tower, Lufthansa 123, ILS 25L". This is extremely helpful when the frequency is saturated, but even when it's not, your workload is going to be high during this flight phase, so making the call short means you have more time for other tasks, like, say, flying the aircraft.

Trevor Hannant Posted June 27, 2022 at 09:10 PM Posted June 27, 2022 at 09:10 PM Also listen out for what approach ACTUALLY say - if they say "callsign only", then simply "Anytown Tower, Bigjet123". The number of times I've heard a full first contact when told not to... Trevor Hannant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
