2.12 Phraseology and Procedures

2.12.2 Demonstrate proficiency in standard radiotelephony phraseologies and procedures for:

(a) all VFR operations in controlled and uncontrolled airspace;

Pre-departure manoeuvring 

At busy aerodromes with separate surface movement control (GROUND) and aerodrome control (TOWER), aircraft are usually transferred to the aerodrome control at or approaching the runway holding point.

Since misunderstandings in the granting and acknowledgement of take-off clearances can result in serious consequences, meticulous care has been taken to ensure that the phraseology to be employed during the pre-departure manoeuvres cannot be interpreted as a take-off clearance.

Ground: "FASTAIR 345 CONTACT TOWER 118.9"

Aircraft:  "118.9 FASTAIR 345"

VFR departures 

Departure clearances may include a CTR Sector, a VFR departure procedure or plain language instructions.

Aircraft must, on leaving the aerodrome traffic circuit, enter and remain within the lateral limits of any sector in the clearance, or follow the assigned route specified in the VFR departure procedure or the clearance.
