Radio calls at Norwich

Norwich has an air traffic control unit, so you are given clearances and instructions, and the mandatory items are read back in full.

  1. Taxi

    Norwich Tower, G-ABCD, Cessna 152 at the flying club with information Alpha, request taxi.

    G-ABCD, taxi to holding point Alpha for runway zero nine, QNH one zero one five.

    Taxi instructions, the runway in use and the pressure setting are all mandatory readbacks.

    Taxi to holding point Alpha runway zero nine, QNH one zero one five, G-CD.

    Read back what must be read back, and include your callsign — CAP 413 says a readback always carries it.

  4. Downwind

    Norwich Tower 124.255
