Radio calls at Lee-on-Solent

Lee-on-Solent has a Flight Information Service, so the station is “Lee-on-Solent Information”. An AFIS gives you information and traffic, not instructions: nobody clears you to land, and the decision is yours.

  1. Initial call

    Lee-on-Solent Information 118.930

    Lee-on-Solent Information, G-ABCD.

    G-ABCD, Lee-on-Solent Information, pass your message.

  2. Passing your message

    118.930

    G-ABCD, Cessna 152, 5 miles south, 2,000 feet on QNH one zero one five, inbound to land, request joining instructions.

    G-ABCD, runway zero five, QNH one zero one five, two aircraft in the circuit, report overhead.

    The runway and QNH are read back. “Report overhead” is answered “Wilco”.

  3. Overhead join

    118.930

    Runway two three, QNH one zero one five, wilco, G-CD.

    An AFIS cannot clear you to join — it tells you the runway and what else is about, and you position yourself.

  4. Downwind

    118.930

    G-CD, downwind.

    G-CD, roger, number two to a Cessna on base.

  5. Final

    118.930

    G-CD, final.

    G-CD, roger, surface wind two four zero degrees eight knots, land at your discretion.

    “Land at your discretion”, never “cleared to land” — that is the difference an examiner listens for.

  6. Vacated

    118.930

    G-CD, runway vacated.

    G-CD, roger, taxi at your discretion.
