Radio calls at Turweston

Turweston is an air/ground station, so the callsign is “Turweston Radio”. The operator passes information about the aerodrome and what they can see. No clearances, no instructions, and no traffic service — every decision is yours.

1. Before taxi

   Turweston Radio 122.180

   Turweston Radio, G-ABCD, Cessna 152 at the flying club, request radio check and taxi information.

   G-ABCD, Turweston Radio, readability five, runway two one right hand, QNH one zero one five, taxi at your discretion.

   “Taxi information”, not “taxi”: at an air/ground station you are told what is in use and then taxi at your own discretion.

   Runway two one right hand, QNH one zero one five, G-CD.

   G-CD, roger.

5. Final

   122.180

   G-CD, final.

   G-CD, roger, surface wind two four zero degrees eight knots.

   An air/ground operator does not say “land at your discretion” and cannot clear you. “Roger” and the wind is the whole of it.

6. Vacated

   122.180

   G-CD, runway vacated.

   G-CD, roger.
