Position report

Phraseology

A position report is a radio message that tells ATC or other traffic where your aircraft is and often includes level, time, and the next point. It is used at reporting points, on request, and in areas where radar surveillance is limited or unavailable. The report helps build traffic awareness and supports flight safety. Give it in the standard order and include the required details clearly and briefly.
