When reporting turbulence, it is important to include details about the severity (light, moderate, severe) and the duration. This helps ATC provide accurate information to other pilots and make appropriate adjustments to flight routes if necessary.
In the event of a radio communication failure, you should squawk 7600 on the transponder to alert ATC of the issue. You should then continue flying according to standard procedures for lost communications, which typically involves following your filed flight plan or the last ATC instructions.
The correct phraseology includes the aircraft call sign, the request being made, and the use of “over” to indicate the end of the transmission. This format is clear and professional, ensuring that the ATC knows who is calling and what is being requested.
The correct procedure is to inform ATC of the frequency change before switching to the new frequency. This allows ATC to acknowledge your request and provide any necessary instructions or updates.
If you receive an unclear or garbled transmission, you should request ATC to repeat the message. Clear communication is crucial for safe operations, and ensuring that you fully understand ATC instructions is essential for flight safety.
