While on the subject of latest Flight Safety magazine I'm having a problem the Flying Ops quiz, question 10 on page 67.
10. When departing from a non-towered aerodrome a departure report
(a) is not required
(b) is not mandatory but is recommended.
(c) is required, and the minimum information required is departure location, tracking details and intended level.
(d) is required, and the minimum infomration reqiuired is departure location, tracking details, intended level, ETA at first reporting point.
Answer is (d) and the reference given
GEN 3.4 5.14.8 is the format of a departure radio call from a non towered aerodrome.
I have only given a departure call from a non-towered field when departing IFR. I thought no call was required VFR. I cannot find anything in
ENR 1.4 3.2 CTAF procedures and Procedures at Non towered aerodromes about a mandatory departure call for
all aircraft at a non towered field.
Am I missing something?
