EXAMPLE                        EXPLANATION

29. "You are fifty feet below the glide path - Level off slightly - Adjust your rate of descent (or) "You are wun hundred feet above the glide path - Bring it down - Adjust your descent."

To bring aircraft to the glide path. Pilot shall be constantly informed of his deviation from the glide path. 

30. "You are two hundred feet left of centerline of runway - Steer right wun eight three - Your heading wun eight three."

To correct heading of aircraft. 

31. "Flaps are at your own discretion."

Used near beginning of final and again at about three miles to remind pilot to reduce speed and put flaps down. 

32. "You are cleared to land."

To relay tower clearance to aircraft. 

33. "You have broken through the overcast - Runway is on your left - Turn left two degrees."

To indicate to the pilot that he has been seen and can therefore land visually. (Instructions will be given until aircraft is over the end of the runway). 

34. "Pull up immediately - Climb to (altitude) - Steer wun eight fi-yiv (Give reason depending on local conditions.)"

If aircraft is not clear to land or if aircraft is not properly aligned with the runway the pilot will be pulled up. An explanation will be given to the pilot as soon as possible. 

35. "You are on course and on the glide path."

Fill in transmissions used on final approach. 

36. "You are over the end of the runway - Wun hundred feet left/right of the centerline of the runway - Altitude fifty feet - Take over visually for landing."

37. "Right turn at end of runway - Change to Channel Baker and contact tower for taxi instructions."

38. "Immediate right turn - Aircraft at ten o'clock three miles - Acknowledge."

35. Fill in transmissions used on final approach.

36. To indicate that landing is possible.

37. GCA may issue general instructions and then have aircraft contact tower for exact instructions. (Local arrangements must be made.)


38. "Immediate right turn - Aircraft at ten o'clock three miles- Acknowledge."
Used whenever another aircraft of unknown altitude approaches the aircraft under control. If visibility and separation permit, the pilot may be first asked if he can see the aircraft. If pilot is on instruments and aircraft are within three miles of each other on a collision or near collision course the aircraft under control must be turned immediately,
