Hi all,
If you were doing some circuits after a few weeks without flying and you fancied practising a FL from downwind at an airfield with FISO's. What would your RT sound like.
I'm thinking this sounds reasonable.
G-XX ready for departure.
G-XX line up at your discretion
Lining up 24 for immediate departure, intend Fanstop late downwind and glide approach, G-XX.
I think this would be better than waiting until I'm up, but I can't help but feel I should request it before playing in the circuit, but I'm aware it's in the air, so not really in a FISO's jurisdiction.
When training my FI would regularly call fan stops and pull the throttle without talking to anyone first.
Back to my scenario
I'd then make my downwind call
G-XX downwind 24, full stop, Fanstop late downwind and glide approach.
I'd then call when I pulled the throttle.
G-XX fanstop, late downwind 24, PFL
and then do a lovely glide approach, with flaps if I needed them, to 24
Overkill? Just talk to tower first before flying ? Mention it when checking out on the radio, then just call it in the air ?
Main intention : not to annoy people at DX.
Interested in your thoughts and if anyone ever does PFL's from the circuit.
