"Report Airfield in Sight"
A friend of mine recently passed his GFT but was criticised by the examiner for reporting the field in sight before he could actually see the runway.
At this particular airfield you can see the aerodrome from 8 miles away on a good day and I have always tended to report early because I sense that Radar are keen to pass you on to the Tower asap. Have I been doing it wrong all these years? If the examiner is correct, why isn't the correct terminology "Report runway in sight"?
Edited to add that my CAP 413 says "Report aerodrome in sight".
