ENGLISH PHRASEOLOGY
FOR AERODROME CONTROL

GENERALITIES
The communications procedures will be according to Vol. II of Annex 10 – Aeronautical
Telecommunications, pilots, ATC personnel and the other ground personnel should know
the radiotelephonique procedures written in it.

When circumstances are different pilots, ATS personnel and ground personnel, should use
the standarized phraseology. This phraseology should be clear and understable, so any
confusion should be avoid.

All the communications will use the identification call (aircraft, ground vehicle, ATC and
others), when it will be necessary. Conditional sentences will be avoid as: behind landing
aircraft or taking off aircraft, specially for manouvres affecting activity in the runway,
except when the specific aircraft or the vehicle is in sight of the specific controller and
pilot. The conditional clearance should always be transmitted following order should be
used:

1. Identification
2. Condition
3. The clearance
4. Short repetition of the condition

Example:

“Avianca 006, behind of the B-767 in short final, line up”

Note. It makes the aircraft receiving the conditional clearance (Avianca 006 identifies the
aircraft that it is refered in the conditional clearance (B-767 in short final)

Intructions like runway in use, QNH, SSR code, levels, heading and speed, and when it
would be required by the ATS authority, transition levels should be always reab back by the
pilot, for Example:

Ctl: Lan-573 Squawk 2401

Pil: Squawk 2401, Lan-573

GROUND AIRCRAFT PHRASEOLOGY
Before initiating the taxiing for the departure the aircraft will be notified the following files
in the order they are, except when we know that the aircraft has received them:

AIRCRAFT THAT REQUEST PUSH BACK and/or TURBOPROP

FIRST CALL: - Aircraft Identification ...

- Pushback and start up approved and/or stand by clearance

in 1, 2, 3 minutes…

- Runway in use ...

- Temperature ...

- Time ...

- Report ready to taxi ...

- Stand by for clearance and/or copy clearance (if it has being

already coordinated with APP/ACC)

SECOND CALL: - Aircraft Identification ...

- Taxi to holding position runway ... Wind ...

- Via...

- QNH ...

- Time ...

- Report in holding position or report when ready for departure

( according to )

(Normally the ATC authorization will be given before the aircraft enters to the manoubring
area. If for any circumstance the authorization was not given at time, this will be given
before the departure authorization )

- QNH ...

- Time ...

- Report in holding position or report when ready for departure

In the holding position: (identification)... contact tower ...(or ground control) (frequency)…

PAY ATTENTION TO PILOT’S READ BACK

There are other ways to express according to different circumstances that might occur.
These situations can be consulted in Doc 4444/ATM/501 part XII phraseology. At the time
of practice in the laboratory, we will use the document mention before due to the amount of
situation that appear in the document, the expression push back suggested by ICAO has
being used more often because is considered to be more appropriate.

AIRCRAFT IN CIRCUIT PHRASEOLOGY

Once the traffic notifies a position geographic point joining to the AIR TRAFFIC ZONE (ATZ), the
following standard phraseology will be used:

FIRST CALL:

- (identification) ... join downwind, runway ... wind ... temperature (optional)... QNH ... traffic ....report
downwind.

OTHER ALTERNATIVES:
- (identification) ... join downwind abeam tower, runway ... wind ... temperature ... QNH ... traffic ...report
downwind.

- (identification) ... proceed direct base, runway ... wind ... temperature ... QNH ... Number one to land, report
on base.

- (identification) ... make straight-in approach, runway ... wind ... temperature ... QNH ... Number one to land,
report on final.

IN THE CIRCUIT:

Pilot : (tower dependence) ... (identification) ... downwind

Ctl: -(aircraft identification) ... number one, report on base ( or report on final).

Tower: (aircraft identification) ... number two, follow cessna on base, report on base.

Tower: (aircraft identification) ... number three, follow caravelle next to base, report on base.

Tower: (aircraft identification) ... cross over station ( the field), join downwind , runway ... wind ...
temperature (optional)...QNH... report downwind.

Note: Usually the number to land will be expedited when join downwind, with exception of other
circumstance, like, direct base proceed, make direct approach, in which the number to land will be
given, in that moment.

WHEN THE RIGHT TRAFFIC CIRCUIT IS USED:

-(Identification) ... join right hand downwind, runway ... wind ... temperature (optional) ... QNH ... traffic ...
Report downwind.

Note: usually in four position (base) of the traffic circuit, the cleared to land is given.

PAY ATTENTION TO PILOT’S READ BACK

There are other ways to express according to different circumstances that might occur. These situations can be
consulted in Doc 4444/ATM/501 part XII phraseology. At the time of practice in the laboratory, we will use
the document mention before due to the amount of situations that appear in the document.
