Including…
– Weather Reports
– Aircraft Position
– Aircraft problems
– Comms with other aircraft
– Comms with land based station
– All station transmission
– Declaring an emergency
When speaking over the radio, pilots and ATC must ensure proper English is used, and that slower than normal speech is also used.
2.8.2 State the frequency(ies) on which the ELT transmits.
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.
| 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, |

2.18.2 State the occasions when TIBA (traffic information broadcasts by aircraft) might be introduced.
If a known disruption is expected or experienced, NOTAMs action will be used to advise pilots
If TIBA is promulgated through NOTAM the frequency will be included in the advice
If more than one frequency is promulgated for that airspace use the primary frequency (found in the COM section of AIPNZ Vol 4)
Maintain a listening watch on the appropriate frequency for 10 minutes prior to entering a given airspace until leaving the airspace.
If leaving an aerodrome within the limits of designated airspace a listening watch should be started as soon as possible after take off.
Make broadcasts
– 10 minutes prior to entry into designated airspace
– 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 given altitude
– At any time the pilot considers it necessary
Look for “finger trouble”
– Electric master switch and avionics switch are On
– VHF – COM set is ON
– Squelch function and level
– Circuit breakers and fuses working
– Correct frequency selected
– Microphone and other leads plugged in correctly
– Surrounding terrain ( might need to fly higher)
2.14.4 Explain the procedures and phraseology involved in transmitting a MAYDAY and PAN call with emphasis on: (a) Radio frequencies; (b) Station(s) to call; (c) Contents of the call; (d) Enforcing radio silence.
The distress message should consist of as many of the following elements as possible in
In addition to transmitting a distress call and message, the pilot should immediately select the emergency code 7700 on the aircraft transponder. This will allow radar controllers to instantly see the aircraft’s position and altitude on a radar screen.
RADIO SILENCE
After a Mayday call has been made other aircraft should impose radio silence on the frequency
unless there is no response from a ATC ground station than a pilot can try to relay the message.
Aircraft Not involved with distress traffic may resume making transmissions once
The distress is cancelled or Distress traffic is terminated
distress traffic has been moved to a different frequency
ATS has given permission
you required assistance yourself ie PAN or MAYDAY
They are still ….
Now the controller will talk back to you.
The key object is to get his or her permission the fly in their airspace.
and basic 5 part of a radio works well to help you get the permission you seek.
They are….
Radio call list this are only the mandatory call.
We do a extra call as part of good airmanship…
They are….
