(a) VHF frequencies to be used;
(b) Listening watch;
(c) Times of broadcasts.
TIBA procedures
TIBA will be promulgated through NOTAM, the frequency will be included in the advice; otherwise it can be found in the COM section of AIPNZ Vol 4. 
A listening watch on the appropriate frequency should be maintained from 10 minutes prior to entering a given airspace until leaving that airspace. If leaving an aerodrome within the limits of designated airspace, a listening watch should be started as soon as possible before or after take off.
Always give as much advance notice as possible of your intentions. Broadcasts should be made:
* 10 minutes prior to entry
* As soon as possible before or after take off
* 10 minutes prior to crossing a reporting point
* 2-5 minutes prior to changing altitude, at the time of changing altitude and on reaching the required altitude.
* Any time the pilot considers it necessary
2.16.4
Detail the actions to be taken when experiencing loss of communications in:
(a) Controlled airspace;
(b) Uncontrolled airspace;
(c) Special use airspace.
FLY YOUR AIRCRAFT
Squawk 7600
Maintain separation from cloud, terrain and other aircraft
Keep a good LOOKOUT
If radio communications are still lost:
If transponder equipped SQUAWK 7600
* If in controlled airspace – obey the most recent clearance instructions
* Avoid areas of high traffic density and fly to the nearest uncontrolled aerodrome – maintain VMC if unable to divert to an uncontrolled aerodrome, enter the airspace via a published arrival procedure or approach side on to the runway in use and do a standard overhead rejoin and telephone the nearest ATS unit asap after landing.
Can try Listening to ATIS and FISB if possible and respond to instructions that ATC may issue via ATIS frequency
If radio failure occurs in an uncontrolled airspace land at nearest suitable aerodrome. Contact the ATS unit after landing.
If operating in a Mandatory Broadcast Zone divert to an alternative aerodrome outside the MBZ unless the situation demands proceeding to MBZ aerodrome without communication
If a mobile phone is available attempt to establish communications with an ATS unit
When diverting to an alternative aerodrome turn on the landing lights, beacons and strobes and approach the aerodrome clear of the final approach area and carry out the standard overhead re-join.
2.14.2
Describe the degrees of emergency that warrant:
(a) a distress call (MAYDAY); and
(b) an urgency call (PAN PAN).
Distress
Distress is defined as a condition of being threatened by serious and/or imminent danger and
requiring immediate assistance.
A distress situation such as a fire in flight or engine failure warrants a MAYDAY call
Urgency
Urgency is defined as a condition concerning the safety of an aircraft, or of some person on board
or within sight, but which does not require immediate assistance.
A urgency situation such a medical event or precautionary landing warrants a PAN PAN call
2.12.2
Demonstrate proficiency in standard radiotelephony phraseologies and procedures
for:
(a) All VFR operations in controlled and uncontrolled airspace;
(b) Taxi, take-off, approach and landing at controlled aerodromes, Flight Service
aerodromes, aerodromes served by UNICOM, and uncontrolled aerodromes; and
(c) Read-back instructions.
Radio – Phraseology and Procedures
(a) With regards to VFR operations in controlled and uncontrolled airspace; you must be familiar and comfortable with procedures and phraseologies listed previously in the course, relating to VFR operations
(b) Taxi, take-off, approach and landing at controlled aerodromes, Flight Service aerodromes, aerodromes served by UNICOM, and uncontrolled aerodromes; and must be familiar with what frequency you need to be on, how to address the service or traffic, how often you need to make radio calls and when you must request something vs when you must state what you are doing.
(c) When a controller gives you a clearance, you must read back the clearance, followed by your call sign to acknowledge you have heard and understood the clearance.
Who is your Radio Call intend for..
“Rotorua Tower”
“Tauranga Tower”
2.8.2
State the frequency(ies) on which the ELT transmits.
ELT frequencies
ELT transmits on:
121.5 Mhz (VHF)
and
406 MHz (UHF)
When activated an ELT will transmits a distinctive undulating SIGNAL (similar to a car alarm) on the international distress frequency 121.5 Mhz (VHF) and a PULSE every 50 seconds on 406 MHz (UHF).
The pulse on 406 MHz contains identification data that is received by satellites and transferred to the National Rescue Coordination Centre (RCCNZ)
2.6.2
Describe the manipulation and adjustment of the controls of commonly used
transponders.
SSR Transponders
SSR is Secondary Surveillance Radar
The functions of transponders are:
| OFF |
Turns it off |
| SBY |
The transponder is on but
will not reply to interrogations. |
| ON |
The transponder will reply
to interrogation, but will
send Mode A (position only)
information. |
| ALT |
Mode A and Mode
C (position and altitude)
information is sent.
This is the setting that should
be used when airborne. |
| TST |
This is a transponder
test function. |
| IDENT
|
This causes your aircraft
symbol on the radar screen to flash so
that the controller can readily identify
your aircraft.
Only push when requested by the Controller,
with the phrase:
“Squawk Ident” |
