Hey, I was just wondering what the order the radio calls in class D are made for a VFR flight?

Do I get a taxi clearance before an Airways?
Also after landing do I require a taxi clearance for parking?

Cheers!

Which one in particular?

Local requirements sometimes vary depending on whether it's radar controlled or procedural. Best to check the ERSA.

Normal order is taxi first, then clearance, or you can make them both at the same time if you're comfortable enough with the amount of information you'll get back all at once.

If you're unfamiliar with the aerodrome, then request detailed taxi instrructions after landing and make sure that you have a clearance before crossing an active runway.

If you are used to departing a GAAP under VFR with no departure report, dont forget in a Class D to do one. Refer to your VFR flight guide for details.

Remember, Class C overlies a class D nowadays so if you intend to go above the D into C while overflying or otherwise, get a clearance before climbing to it.

have fun
