1 PHRASEOLOGY GENERAL This document is intended for simulation use only on the IVAO network! Do not use for real life or in other networks. In this document we will teach you the most common general phraseology used in aviation by an ATC. This document only covers the general phraseology which is used throughout all ATC stations. We have a set documents which correspond with every ATC station Delivery Phraseology Delivery Ground Phraseology Ground Tower Phraseology Tower Departure/Arrival Phraseology DEP/APP Control Phraseology Control INFO Phraseology INFO We suggest you follow the list from top to bottom in order to help you advance in your Virtual Air Traffic Control Career. LETTERS AND NUMBERS G E N E R A L R E MA R K S To avoid confusion over the frequency it was agreed to use phonetic spelling. Minimizing the risk of mixing letters or numbers. Using the phonetic spelling should be used within the aircraft call sign, for headings, speed, altitude, VOR indications, abbreviations (e.g. BUN, 250 ) Names, companies, fixes are not mandatory to be spoken by phonetics if correct reception is not affected.

AIRCRAFT CALL SIGNS There are three (3) types of aircraft call signs Type Example a) The registration OO-BRU or Cessna OO-BRU b) Telephony designator of the company, followed by the last 4 BEELINE OSFX characters of the registration c) Telephony designator of the company, followed by the flight BEELINE 456 identification If satisfactory communication has been established, and no confusion is likely to occur, call signs may be abbreviated as follows Type Example 1.

TRANSFER OF COMMUNICATIONS The ATC station will advise an aircraft to change from one radio frequency to another, in accordance with agreed procedures.

9 TEST PROCEDURES T R A N S MI S S I O N A Test transmission should be as follows: Identification of the station being called; Aircraft identification; The words RADIO CHECK; Frequency being used. R E P L Y A reply to a test transmission should be: Identification of the station calling Identification of the replying station Information regarding the readability R E A D A B I L I T Y C L A S S E S The readability should be expressed according the following scale: 1.

10 NAVIGATION INSTRUCTIONS H E A D I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S In order to let an aircraft change its heading or maintain a heading after passing over a navigational point, the following transmission should be used: Turn left heading Turn right heading Maintain present heading Maintain heading L E V E L I N S T R U C T IO N S In order to make an aircraft change or maintain its altitude, use the following transmissions: Climb to [flight level / feet] Descent to [flight level / feet] Maintain [flight level / feet] There is a difference between descent/climb to xxxxft and descent xxxxft. Descent xxxxft will require to pilot descent xxxxft and not to xxxxft. Example: At 5000ft: descent to 2000ft -> pilot will descent to 2000ft At 5000ft: descent 2000ft -> pilot will descent to 3000ft. For communication only: If the FL is below FL100, we just say FL60 and not 060. This is to avoid the pilot would mistake himself by flying HDG 060. E X A MP L E S Beeline 753, turn left heading 270.

Expediting descent to FL 60, Beeline 753 Beeline 753, climb to FL 250, expedite until passing FL 200 Climbing to FL 250, expediting until passing FL 200, Beeline 753 Always keep in mind that an aircraft may not be able to expedite.
