Are you talking transatlantic ops? In that case:

Pilots should report to ATC at least when:

· Passing a waypoint (lat/long) e.g. 50/42

· Changing altitude

· Performing a large change in heading

· 45 minutes have passed since last contact

· Reaching Oceanic Airspace


A Position Report should go something like this:

PILOT: GANDER (CALLSIGN) POSITION REPORT

GANDER: (CALLSIGN) GANDER, GO AHEAD

PILOT: GANDER (CALLSIGN) REPORTING 53N50 AT 2208Z, FL350, ESTIMATING 55N40 AT 2410Z 56N30 NEXT.

GANDER READS BACK THE POSITION REPORT
